Condom is more common that table water nowadays. Every nairalanders know what it means......here are 11 facts about the history of condom...

1. Condom Use Goes Way Back To B.C.
Times

According to SKYN’s research, the oldest
known proof of a “sheathed penis” can
actually be seen in cave paintings. While
it’s unclear what was used to “sheath”
these joysticks, it’s really interesting to
know that our ancestors knew that
wrapping the penis up could actually be a
good thing.

2. Once Upon A Time Condoms Were
Made Of Linen

As the B.C. era came to an end and
history evolved into the early A.D. period,
the first actual documented condoms
made their appearance. Made of pieces of
linen that were sewn together by hand,
the condoms were made to fit either the
whole penis or just the tip of it. This was
also the time of the Roman Empire… so,
considering how those people partied,
condoms were a good introduction into
society at that time. Although, I’m not
sure exactly how much protection a piece
of linen could provide for either partner,
no matter what end they were on.

3. Glans Condoms Eventually Became A
Go-To Item

Before the 1400s officially rolled around,
aristocrats in Asia started using glans
condoms , which, as the name suggests,
only covered the glans (head) of the
penis. While they weren’t using linen,
which seems rather useless, they were
using glans condoms made of intestines
or oiled paper ― again, not exactly the
most protective of choice.

However, where things get a bit more
protective was in the fact they also used
animal horns or tortoise shells. While
that’s likely to protect against STDs and
pregnancy a bit better than paper or the
aforementioned linen, the thought of
either having that on one’s penis or in
one's vagina sounds like one hell of an
uncomfortable situation. I’m also hoping
that they were using pieces of these horns
and shells, because tortoises can get
REALLY big in size. Picturing that is
making me feel less than happy at the
moment.

4. Linens Condoms Made A Comeback
By The 1400s

Maybe it was because they were far
softer than animal horns or they just sold
well, but by the 1400s through the 1700s
the majority of condoms were made of
out linen or goat insides. I’m not talking
about just goat intestines, which, shape
wise, makes sense, but pieces of goat
bladders, too, became a popular condom
choice.

5. Casanova Didn’t Just Use Condoms,
But He Checked Every One Of Them
Himself

As the legendary lover wrote in his
memoir, History of My Life , "Cultivating
whatever gave pleasure to my senses was
always the chief business of my life; I
never found any occupation more
important. Feeling that I was born for the
sex opposite of mine, I have always loved
it and done all that I could to make
myself loved by it."

Takeaway? Casanova got laid. A LOT.
Because this was the case, he also he
became known for blowing up his
condoms before using them to make sure
there weren’t any holes, so he could
continue along his merry way without
impregnating all the women with whom
he slept. This is actually the first recorded
attempt at condom quality control .

6. The First Rubber Condom Was ‘As
Thick As A Bicycle Inner Tube’

Although the first rubber condom,
produced in 1855 , was a major step
forward in regards to material, the fact
that it was, according to research, as
thick as a bicycle inner tube, didn’t make
it very appealing. Of course, if a man
wasn’t very endowed in girth, it could be
a big hit, but other than that, no thanks.

7. Queen Victoria’s Face Used To Adorn
Condoms

Because who doesn’t want to use
condoms with Queen Victoria's face
staring back at them, in 1897 condom
manufacturers started selling condoms
with her face on their labels. Supposedly
this was because of the fact that her kids
were constantly getting STDs, so nothing
says, “Go home and take a cold shower,”
like your mom’s face.

8. Condoms Became Legal in 1918 In
The States

Why it took so long for condoms to
become legal in the States can probably
be attributed to our Puritan roots and the
fact that ― gasp! ― sex is BAD. Either
way, with the roaring ‘20s and the
flapper generation about to emerge just a
couple years later, it was better late than
never when condoms became legal in the
U.S. In fact, by 1920 the first latex condom
made its debut.

9. We Can Thank The UK For Lubricated
Condoms

In 1957, the UK introduced the very first
lubricated condom to the world. For those
who were stuck with using spit up until
that point, it was definitely a game-
changer.

10. AIDS Made Condom Use Paramount

At the height of the AIDS epidemic in the
U.S, after it became quite clear that HIV
and AIDS are sexually transmitted , the
conversation about the importance of
condom use exploded. It was in 1985 that
LifeStyles Condoms launched to keep up
with ever-growing demand for condoms
during that decade when the epidemic
was seemingly out of control.

11. Condom Manufacturers Started To
Get Creative In The 1990s

As the ‘80s came to an end, the demand
for condoms continued. It was at this
time that manufacturers decided to break
the usual condom mold and offer
consumers something more. Suddenly the
boring latex condom had competition
with colored, textured, and even flavored
condoms.

But while a pink condom that tastes like a
strawberry might be fun, at the end of
the day, all that really matters is that
you’re using condoms and using them
correctly.

Now you know about that thing you filled your room with.
