10 Of The Strangest Things You Never Knew About Condoms by Ijeleigbo(m): 11:38pm On Apr 16, 2016 |
The history of the condom is somewhat murky, with historians unable to ascertain when people even began using them. Despite being something of a punchline, condoms are responsible for saving countless lives and are one of the most important developments in maintaining public health. 10: Vegan Condoms Like any other lifestyle, veganism has different extremes. Dietary vegans may not consume any animal product—not just meat, but milk, eggs, and honey among other things. Ethical vegans eschew using any animal product altogether, including leather clothing or cosmetics tested on lab animals. This is an extraordinarily difficult moral code to live by; animals are used in many more ways than you might imagine. Strangely enough, this extends to condoms. While there are still a few condoms produced using lambskin, the vast majority are made of latex, a form of rubber. It would seem at first that latex condoms would be perfectly acceptable even to the most hard-line vegan, but most are actually produced using casein, a milk protein. Luckily for amorous vegans, a German company called Condomi manufactures condoms that use cocoa powder instead of casein. This condom workaround is great, but unfortunately for vegans, casein is used in a wide variety of products, including paint, glue, and medication. 9: Most condoms are too big for Indian Men Watching pornography has certainly given many people a gross distortion of average male anatomy. In truth, most of us are a bit more “humble.” Unfortunately for the men of India, they tend to fall on the lower end of the spectrum. In 2006, a study on penis size done by the Indian Council of Medical Research made headlines when it was discovered that approximately 60 percent of surveyed Indian men had joysticks several centimeters shorter than the standard used in producing condoms. This disparity led to a high rate of failure, with condoms tearing or falling off about 20 percent of the time, a serious issue given the prevalence of AIDS. This problem is hardly confined to India. In 2015, Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health made the announcement that sexually transmitted diseases among the country’s youth had increased nearly five-fold in a decade. According to the statement, “It is due to the fact that only 43 percent (of teenagers) use condoms—and also because they choose condoms that are too big for their actual sizes and they are afraid they will be mocked for being too small.” 8: Condom Attachments It is a situation common enough to be a movie trope. Things get unexpectedly heated and make their way into the bedroom. A bit of fumbling in the nightstand reveals that the gentleman has failed to replenish his supply of condoms. In the movies, this tends to result in some kind of uproarious hijinks (see 1997’s Booty Call featuring a young Jamie Foxx as a character named “Bunz”), but real life tends to be a bit more mundane and tragic. However, there is salvation. Throughout the world, services dubbed “condom ambulances” will deliver prophylactics faster than pizza. One such service was offered by College of New Jersey sophomore Kyle McCabe, who would rush condoms out to dorm rooms within minutes of a call, a helmet with a flashing light perched upon his head. A shrewd businessman, McCabe charged $3 for a single condom and $15 for 10, depending on just how wild a night was in the cards. He also required his customer to sign a waiver relinquishing him from responsibility should his product fail. Kyle’s trade was hardly unique—in 2004, a rash of chlamydia among Swedish youth inspired health workers to requisition three emergency service vehicles to rush condoms to lovers caught in a compromising situation. 7: The Edible Condom Condoms come in myriad different designs, textures, and even flavors. But none are considered edible. However, Hong Kong restaurateur Alvin Leung of Bo Innovation has turned that convention on its ear with a dish he’s named “Sex on the Beach.” Resembling something you might find on the Jersey Shore at low tide, “Sex on the Beach” is a pink condom made of kappa (edible seaweed) and konjac (a root often used to form gelatin), lying on a bed of sand made from powdered shiitake mushrooms. To really spoil the appetite, the tip of the condom contains a “white gooey” substance made from a blend of honey and Yunnan ham. While today’s chefs are known for all kinds of crazy acts of molecular gastronomy, Leung’s snack seems to have pushed all the boundaries of good taste out the window. However, his heart is in the right place. The shock value of “Sex on the Beach” is intended to draw attention to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the proceeds go to benefit AIDS Concern in Hong Kong.
