What is a condom?
A condom is a sheath of thin latex rubber, which is unrolled onto the erect penis and worn during sex. At the tip of most condoms there is little extra space to hold any semen that gets ejaculated. The condom keeps the semen from coming into contact with the other person’s body fluids, especially any open cut that could allow blood to mix with the semen. Did you know where “condoms” came from? Mankind has probably used condoms for thousands of years to prevent unwanted pregnancies and diseases. Lining from animals, shells from turtles and waxed rice paper were some of the materials used as condoms in different cultures and countries all over the world. A story exists of King Charles II of England (1523-1562) who asked his doctor to help him prevent unwanted children with all his multiple partners. The doctor’s name was Dr. Condom and hence the name. In the middle of the 17th century, Good Year started to vulcanise rubber and after that they started to produce condoms made of rubber.
