Inventors create condom which can be fitted in three seconds

Thirty to forty seconds seems like a big exaggeration to me. If the packet is to hand and you don't fumble tearing it, ten seconds seems closer to the mark.

Hypothetical technical silliness

What they need to make is a heat shrink condom. It should be loose enough to easily put on at 20-25 degrees and a snug fit at 36.6 degrees. In warm countries, or for added macho-ness, keep it in the fridge or run it under cold water (in the packet) before use.

Aha. Nitinol, or some other shape-memory alloy, threads embedded in the latex. Warm it up, and it contracts back into shape.
