6/11/2006: Condom from 1640
According to Ananova, what we have here is the world's oldest condom, on display in an Austrian museum. No word on why they speculate that this is the oldest, but they say it's reusable (eww!), made of pig intestine, (ewwwwwww!) and comes (ha ha) with an owner's manual written in Latin.
The article says the manual suggests that the condom user should "immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases." Did they understand the whole mechanism of disease in 1640? And if you soaked it in warm milk, what's the need for the woman? This thing looks like it has all the sensitivity of tree bark, and reminds us that there are many advantages to advances in technology.

I'm sorry, but I dont think I could've gotten past the thought of anything belonging to a pig being near my girlie bits....what a mood killer!!

Latin instructions, huh?
loco vestri Penis hic (Put your penis here) 
I haven't had a need for condoms recently as I am in a second marriage and we are both 50+ in age but aren't there several brands of "natural" condoms that use lamb membranes still on the market?

Latin instructions: Hic jacet vir. Festina lente.
That Tirolean County Museum sounds like a happening place. How about getting someone on the Cellar to report on the other 249 sex-related items on display?

Rubber does a much better job of insulation, in all regards.

I guess it's better than getting the French Pox.

Hell, it took me 3 years to realise the Ex was a pig...I must be a slow learner.

It looks like it ties on - imagine it getting knotted and stuck on. Or better yet, your partner coming close with a pair of scissors "I'll cut it off".

It'd probably be ok if she wasn't Lorena Bobbitt.

It's the old, using for good vs using for evil, the eternal conundrum.
