Indian Snake Charmer
BBC News: A vibrating condom has sparked a fierce debate in India, over whether it is a sex toy - which are banned - or a means of birth control.
The controversial condom has caused outrage in the state of Madhya Pradesh, because a government-owned company is involved in marketing it.
The pack of three condoms, branded as Crezendo, contains a battery-operated ring-like device.

That has caused an outcry among many in conservative India, including the Madhya Pradesh minister for road and energy, Kailash Vijayvargiya, who argues that it is nothing more than a sex toy.
"Sex toys are banned in India and the vibrating device is nothing but a sex toy being sold as condoms.
"The government's job is to promote family planning and population control measures rather than market products for sexual pleasure," he told BBC News.

To me, they're more like umbrellas. Inconvenient, but you're glad you have one when there's an opportunity to use it.
