German sexual wellness brand Billy Boy has launched something unusual, a digital condom, as part of its initiatives for safe sex. Called ‘Camdom’, the brand said the digital condom has been launched to protect a person’s privacy.
Billy Boy recently launched ‘Camdom’, an application that restricts users from recording private moments on their phones. “Camdom is your digital condom that prevents anyone from taking photos, films or recordings without consent,” the firm said on their website. The firm said using Camdom is “as easy as using a real condom” and multiple devices could be connected at the same time.
The Camdom app developer Felipe Almeida said, “In order to protect you from the recording of non-consensual content, we've created the first app that can block your camera and mic simply through the use of Bluetooth,” Times of India reported. Explaining how the app works, Billy Boy said that after downloading the application on mobile phones, users, before intimate moments, have to bring their phones closer and swipe down a black button to block cameras and microphones of both devices.

“The app can be used on multiple devices at the same time. If one of the devices is disconnected without consent, an audio-visual alarm will be activated,” Billy Boy said. Users can disconnect their devices by simply holding the unlock button on connected devices for three seconds.
Responding to the launch, a netizen felt the idea “cool” while another opined it was an important issue that none actually gave a thought about.
