Hmm, cool problem...maybe a small circular patch, kind of like a band-aid, and you stick it right over the meatus (the "eye" if you will). The band-aid itself has an elastic reservoir in the center that fills up just like a condom's. That way you'd have pretty much all your sensitive parts still directly exposed. The main challenge would be a user-friendly way of cementing that sucker to the head of the penis though. Bioré pore strips are ridiculously clingy to skin (don't ask how I know), but take a while to apply. Maybe something in that vein? Would probably need something that chemically reacts/bonds to skin (a band-aid's level of stickiness just wouldn't be enough), but is soluble in some other gentle chemical.

- dougk16 14y agoI don't know about no protection. It would prevent most transmission from male to female, as I understand STI's (it's been a while since sex ed class). True that it wouldn't help when there's open sores and such on the penis though.
- argonaut 14y agoYou forget that the entire head of the penis is basically a mucous membrane through which STIs can be passed (i.e. one big open sore). So you would have to cover the entire head, at which we run into the problem of sensitivity again.
- wilfra 14y agoYa I like this - 'catching' the ejaculate would still present risks but it should all-but eliminate unwanted pregnancies and greatly reduce STD's which are passed by fluid exchange. You still have to worry about things like Herpes and HPV but this would be vastly better than no condom. Maybe something that just partially covers the head of the penis?
