Beyond, "A woman can lure a man into what she says is consensual sex, but has a hidden motive to trap him with this," what are the criticisms against this thing? Honest question, I'd like to hear the opinions and criticisms of it.

Have they never heard of rape by dildo/broom/etc? They're ignoring ways this could go wrong with half-assed snark.

That comment is true.

One thing I fear, though is the man lashing out at the woman. It doesn't prevent rape. It just makes people get caught. In places like South Africa, it's so common to be raped. Even though women shouldn't do things to draw attention to themselves (drinking and causing vulnerability, leading on men), it is true. You don't have to worry if you don't rape people. I fear that women could use this as a way to get revenge on a cheating lover.

it doesn't prevent rape. it can't. it is designed to only take effect after the person has penetrated fully, therefore it can only stop the person after they have commented rape.

and legally its illegal. just like how filling your mailbox full of cement after teens keep going by and doing drive by smashings is illegal.

and what happens when a girl uses this on her cheating boyfriend/hubby.

This comment is spot on, I don't see why anyone has a problem with it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it would be rather difficult to get a man with this during consensual sex. It's designed to capture forceful penetration. On top of that any kind of foreplay is going to reveal SOMETHING is inside her.

Sure, could a woman technically insert this device, seduce her man and then climb on top and force him in? Definitely. Could she then turn around and scream "Rape" Yup, could happen too.

Could it capture ACTUAL rapists and give strong evidence of their crime. Hell yes.

If you're dating the type of crazy that is going to falsely accuse you, you're pretty fucked anyway.

OH and this..

It doesn't prevent rape

Actually, if your dick is stuck inside one of those, you're not raping anyone.

This first surfaced in 2005. There is no mention of it being in production or for sale. The inventor claims it will make the rapist unable to walk, unable to pee and that it would take a surgeon to remove it. My first thought was then, what about infections caused to exposure to blood then - that certainly would be a risk in a country like South Africe where HIV are relatively wide-spread. The inventor has the answer to this: It won't break the skin so there won't be any fluid transmission.

Ok, so exactly why is a surgeon needed to remove a device which doesn't break any skin one might wonder. Wouldn't a pair of bandage-scissors suffice?

And then comes the coup de grace. All this claims are made without the device ever been tested on humans. It has only been tested on a plastic male model - which I flippantly will point out was unsurprisingly unable to walk, pee or to remove it by himself. I still don't get requirement for a surgeon to remove it though.

So in short it won't work as claimed and if it were to work it would very likely result in a increase in the level of violence against the woman.
