    Default World's Oldest Condom

    The is on display at a museum in Austria. It's been dated to 1640 and still has an instruction manual, which says to "soak it in warm milk prior to use in order to prevent diseases."

    Very interesting, but I'm not touching the damn thing!

    1640.... eesh.
    I'm sure the smell of mingled cooch, cum, body oder and milk must have been lovely.

    I don't know, I'm pretty impressed. 1640 predates the discovery of microbes, but clearly, people still understood that fluids (not contact) led to diseases. I mean, I wouldn't touch it either... oh, what the hell, yes I would. I want to be able to say that I touched the world's oldest condom. Just like how at the end of the Bodies exhibit they let you touch a plasticized heart, and at first I was like eeeew, but then I thought about it, and I decided that touching a human heart would bring me 1 step closer to badassness. So yeah, this is similar.

    Yek has such adorable trivia tonight.

    ...i think it was found in the oldest surviving wallet of a married man with a wife having the longest perpetual headache on record.

    Hmm. Not as impressive as the ancient Romans harvesting a very effective birth control plant into extinction. Randy people.

    ^^^ What plant was that?

    The ancient Egyptians used to stick crocodile turds up their cooter for birth control. And Sumerians used lemon halves for diaphragms, and Assyrians made IUD's out of beeswax.

    Yet Jerry Falwell would have you believe that birth control was invented in the 1960's by scary witches...

    I forget. It was on the History Channel's The History of Sex one night. There were some methods that were bogus and a few that were amazingly effective, like this plant.

    Silphium. It is a member of the Fennel family. I believe that it caused abortions or worked like a Morning after pill.
