I like the idea, but can I suggested also on the same note that they can create a high tech condom, which will let you know how many diseases you have avoided each time you wear it, and it might have also a pleasure indicator, so at the end both partners, will know how much the other one faked. (Obviously this message is intended as a joke, and should not offend anyone)

You've just painted a horrifically realistic concept for the quantified self crowd. How was my orgasm? Was it better or worse than the one I had two days ago? Is my current partner giving me better orgasms than my previous one? Let's upload all of this personal data to the cloud and get some pretty charts...
Oh god.

There are already litmus-style tests kicking around that change colour in the presence of a disease or virus. Maybe in future all condoms will warn about STDs... although you could imagine that getting depressing if you have an incurable one.
