Galactic cap is a type of condom that was invented two years ago by Charles Powell. Mr. Powel invented this type of condom after the death of his friend from Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), as this is what inspired him. He explains that it can be used by the porn industry because the device is fixed on the lean of the penis and therefore does not obscure what people like to see. Most people are not comfortable with using condom when on camera and some are taking an interest in the new type of condom in the market.
What Is Galactic Cap?
The galactic cap is made up of two parts that help to protect against sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy. A prophylactic disk is fixed on the tip of the male sexual organ. One part of the device is polyurethane film that is U-shaped and can be placed on the penis hours or days before the sexual activity. The other part is a reservoir, placed on the tip and helps to trap all the semen that is passed during ejaculation. This device is unique because the cap only touches the tip of penis and this means that the shaft and the coronal ridge of the penis are exposed.
How Galactic Cap Works?
The galactic cap is made up of two parts. The base is applied at the end of the penis and no erection is required. This can be done hours or days before the sexual activity is expected or encountered. The base has a hole that is located at the top and this allows one to urinate without having to remove the device. The other part is made up of a cap where the backing is peeled off and this is placed over the base that is placed at the lean of the penis. The cap of the device can be quickly fixed on top when one is ready for sexual intercourse. The cap and the base provide a seal or an enclosure where semen collects during ejaculation. The device allows both sexes to have more pleasure because the coronal ridge and the shaft of the penis are left exposed. The galactic condom does not stop the spread of Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) infection because some of them are spread through contact of skin. The condom may work for monogamous couple who want to prevent unplanned and unwanted pregnancies.
Is It Safe for Men?
The galactic cap is safe in men who do not have any sore or abrasion on their skin. This is because the skin is the first barrier of the body to any infection and therefore when there is a breakage in the skin; one is more susceptible to infection.
The device is safe for men who are not ready to have unwanted children and they are not ready to be called fathers. This is because the cap of the devices helps in trapping all the semen that is passed during ejaculation. This ensures that semen does not get through to the partner thus preventing unwanted pregnancies.
Most men do not use the traditional condoms because of reduced pleasure during sexual activity and they are advised to use the galactic condom.
However, the device should be used with caution because some of the infections are usually spread through skin-to-skin contact and therefore it cannot be termed as 100% safe.
Is It Safe for Women?
Galactic condom is safe for women because the device can help to protect against unwanted pregnancies. The device can help protect against HIV that is usually transmitted through semen. This is because the cap that is placed at the tip of the penis helps to trap all the semen that has been passed during ejaculation. The device is most efficient if one does not have a sore on the vagina or anywhere around the perineum. This is because the sheath and the coronal shaft of the penis are left exposed and this may cause a transfer of the sexually transmitted diseases.
The device is better than the traditional condom that is not used by most people and of which failure rate is 15-18%.
The devices may help to some extent in prevention of HIV because it is usually transmitted through semen. However, it should be used with caution because most of the sexually transmitted diseases are spread through skin-to-skin contact. This is because while using this device the sheath and the coronal shaft of the penis are left exposed.
Galactic Cap Advantages
The shaft and the coronal ridge of the penis are exposed and this means that both sexes are satisfied during a sexual activity. The old-fashioned condoms that sheath the penis reduce the sexual satisfaction for both sexes.
The device helps to prevent pregnancy and other sexually transmitted disease to include human immunodeficiency virus. This is because all the semen that is passed during ejaculation is trapped in the cap.
The device can be used by the porn industry because it does not obscure what viewers like and want to watch.
The base of the device has a hole that allows the person to urinate and one can even shower with it.
The galactic condom is easy to use than the traditional condom because the cap is easily fitted on the lean of the penis when one is ready for sexual intercourse.
Galactic Cap Disadvantages
The device has not been approved through clinical testing to show that it is an ideal method of preventing STIs and pregnancy. The product needs to be approved by FDA for it to be considered legit for commercial and public use.
STI can be spread through skin-to-skin contact and this device does not cover the sheath of the penis.
HIV can be spread through fluids of the body and semen and this can be exposed to the skin of the other person therefore increasing the chances of being infected.
The device does not protect against oral sex in which the transmission of STIs and HIV takes place.
Final Verdict on Galactic Cap
The galactic cap has both advantages and disadvantages. It should be used with caution because it does not offer 100% safety. The device can be used effectively by a monogamous couple who are not ready to have children. This is because the cap that is placed at the tip of the penis ensures that all the semen that is produced during ejaculation is trapped inside. This ensures that the semen does not penetrate into the woman’s reproductive organs where fertilization can take place.
The device leaves the shaft, the coronal ridge exposed, and this ensures that both partners are getting full satisfaction and pleasure from the sexual activity.
The device may protect against HIV that is usually transmitted through contact with semen of an infected person. However, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections may also be transmitted through skin contact with other body fluids. This means that in case one has a broken skin or abrasion they are likely to be infected while using the device.
Conclusion
The galactic condom has offered a solution where people can have both pleasure and protection. The device can be safely used by a monogamous couple who are not ready for a child. The device does not give 100% assurance of safety and it should be used with a lot of caution. The people who have sores or abrasions in their perineum are advised to use the traditional condoms or abstain from sex until they heal completely.

This cap seems to be amazing! I feel it is a much better option than the regular condoms but it might not prevent from getting infected from HIV and STD. Still I will try it out!
