As early as 2000 BC, condoms appeared in the life of ancient Egyptians. At that time, they were called penis condoms. Their function was not to prevent disease and contraception. Like jewelry worn by women, they were used as decorations. Men usually hung them on their bodies, which was a symbol of wealth and status.
More than 1000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians began to use the bladder and cecum of goats, pigs and other animals as condoms. Since that era, condoms have been used to prevent diseases and infections. Condom murals created for more than 100 years AD were found in the Cambariles cave in the Dordogne region of southern Southern France, which is regarded as the earliest evidence of condom use in Europe.
The oldest existing condom in the world was born around 1640, made from crucian carp and animal intestines, and has a history of over 300 years. One end of the condom is sealed with silk thread, and the opening on the other end can be locked to prevent slipping. According to records, this type of condom is difficult to use immediately when necessary, as it must be soaked overnight with warm milk before use. These 10 condoms found in the Dudley Castle near Birmingham, England, were once exhibited in the sex exhibition held in the Netherlands. Because of their age, they are now as dry as dead leaves.
Modern condoms were born in 17th century England, made from the cecum of lambs and mainly used to prevent diseases.
In the 16th century, an anatomist from the University of Padua in Italy, Faropis, wrote about condoms in his experimental records. He publicly explained the experimental use of condoms to prevent diseases for the first time, which is the earliest written record of condoms found so far.
At the end of the 15th century, when Columbus discovered the New World, sailors also brought syphilis back to Spain from the United States, and syphilis began to spread in Europe. Not long after, Faropis invented a condom made of linen and conducted experiments using condoms among 1100 men. None of them are infected with syphilis. At this time, the main function of condoms is to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases rather than contraception.
By the end of the 17th century, British physician Joseph. Condom invented modern condoms, which were made from the cecum of lambs. Condom first cut the intestines into appropriate lengths, then dried them, and then used softeners such as oil and wheat bran to soften them until they became thin and rubbery.
