A guy.....he tried to wrap it in fruit roll-ups and realized it leaked, so he decided fruit rollups and latex would go well together. Now he lives in the Bahamas on the beach....go figure

LOL ! It looks like it was a MAN who came up with the idea !
(probably because his wife was saying "yuck" )

"I tell people to think of us as the Walt Disney of safer sex," chuckles Glickman of his G-rated safer sex products. When he did his thesis on condoms while a student at Tufts University in the mid-1980s, the condom as a form of contraception had become all but obsolete, thanks to the Pill.

"It was a lonely, desperate little product," remembers Glickman, "sold behind counters and found on bathroom walls of truck stops."

But the AIDS crisis forced the condom out of obscurity and into becoming a necessary, if unwelcome partner in the bedroom. If necessity is indeed the mother of invention, then thank millions of miserable couples for the many "bells and whistles," as Glickman calls them, that now lavish the once desperate little product.

The Japanese came first, as it were, shaking up the market with ultrathin condoms. Then U.S. manufacturers jumped in with different sizes, from "Magnum" (bigger) to "snugger fit" (tinier).

It was in 1998 that lucky lovers were treated to an "explosion" of flavored condoms, notes Glickman--"a veritable fruit salad."

Well, yes and no. Glickman was kind enough to send out a basket full of condoms to Metro, and three co-workers volunteered to lick their way through almost a dozen flavors of prophylactics.

While banana was roundly booed and chocolate was rejected as "basically slimy," the taste-testers gave a big thumbs-up to Cola (as Glickman says, "Gives a whole new meaning to 'have a Coke and a smile,' huh?"), vanilla--"Mmm, ice creamy!"--and mint.

Knowles promises that Planned Parenthood will also be treating its customers to lip-smacking flavors--honeydew and raspberry--but they won't be released until the fall.

I'm only guessing here, but I would say a female. Makes sense, right?
