Around the world, between six to nine billion condoms are sold every year. Unfortunately, their use is not universally accepted, despite the fact that experts agree that consistent condom use can dramatically reduce the number of new HIV infections each year.
Even in the Catholic church, which has long forbidden condoms as a means of birth control, leaders have become to endorse them in very particular circumstances. Yet, others within the church still insist condoms promote sexuality out of the bonds of marriage and outright condemn them.
But views are shifting. In 2010, Reverend Federico Lombardi, speaking on behalf of Pope Benedict, stated that the use of condoms by people with HIV could be "the first step of responsibility, of taking into consideration the risk to the life of the person with whom there are relations... whether it's a man, a woman or a transsexual."
Benedict's successor, Pope Francis has been less clear about his views but has stated condoms may be the "lesser evil" in comparison to abortion, but has archly refused to speak about its utility in preventing HIV.
The history of condoms has been fraught with such controversy, innovation, advances, and failures. We offer a snapshot of some of these key moments as well as insights into why condoms remain as important as ever:
As far as anyone can tell, this is roughly the time when the use of condoms was first recorded. Unlike today's latex or polyurethane, the early condoms were made of oiled silk paper, linen sheaths, leather, or very thin hollow horn.
Cave paintings dating back to the year 200 C.E. depict condom use, the earliest known visual evidence of their use.
An Italian doctor by the name of Gabrielle Fallopius (for whom, coincidentally, the female fallopian tube was named) suggested that linen sheath condoms be used to protect against syphilis, a deadly epidemic at that time in history.
Some researcher s believe that farmers in Condom, France began using sheep guts as condoms, possibly the origin of the lambskin condom—as well as the device's eponymous name.
Another group believes that the term "condom" was coined when Charles II was given oiled sheep intestines to use as condoms by a physician named, unsurprisingly, Dr. Condom. However, other insist that the "condom" came from the Latin word condus which simply means "vessel."
The infamous Giacomo Casanova wrote about his method of testing condoms in his memoir, detail how he would blow them up to test for holes and tears.
Rubber is introduced as a component of condoms. At that time, men were advised that these rubber version could be washed and reused until they crumble.
The first U.S. condom ad appears in the New York Times.
The introduction of latex makes condoms cheap and disposable. Thus, the single-use, latex condom is born. By World War II, latex condoms are mass produced and given to troops all over the world.
Following World War I, France implements a ban on condoms and other contraceptives in response to fears about falling birth rates.
The latex condom is improved by making them thinner, tighter and lubricated. Also, the reservoir tip is introduced that collects semen in the end, decreasing the risk of leakage and unintentional pregnancy.
Once a source of embarrassment and absolutely forbidden from being advertised in print or on television, the emergence of HIV as a sexually transmitted disease takes condoms into the mainstream. Experts agree that condoms are the best way outside of abstinence to avoid HIV, but many still avoid using condoms.
Condom sales reach nine billion worldwide. Experts find the spermicides used to prevent pregnancy can also increase the risk of HIV and issue warnings about their use. Additionally, with the emergence of latex allergies, condoms made of polyurethane are manufactured for those people with latex allergies.
Billionaire philanthropists Bill and Melinda Gates offer $100,000 for the most promising next-generation condom designs, the challenge of which sparks media attention and brings focus to some of the more groundbreaking designs, including a type that will "shrink wrap" to fit the penis and a graphene-based model reported to be 100 times stronger than steel.
Nottingham, England-based British Condom introduced i.Con, marketed as the world's first smart condom. The device, which is actually a ring that fits around the base of the condom, can provide you statistics on every aspect of your penis and sexual performance that you never really needed to know (such as girth, calories burned, etc.) but also claims to be able to detect sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia and syphilis.

Many people are under the false impression that the history of the condom only stretches across the past couple of decades. However, it goes far beyond that. For example, cave paintings have indicated that condoms were in use around 15,000 years ago, although whether they were actually used regularly is a matter of some debate.
Just before the 15th Century, it seemed that Glans condoms were in use in some places throughout Asia. This type of condom only covered the head of the penis, and they were most likely used for birth control. This type of condom was made from either silk or lamb intestines in China, and Tortoise Shell or Animal horn in Japan.
Up until the 16th Century however, the use of condoms wasn’t really known about. The first documented mention of the condom was from Gabriele Falloppio. He said he had invented a device made of linin which was soaked in chemicals. They were designed to cover the glans of the penis and was tied by ribbon. The original intention of this device was to combat syphilis as opposed to acting as a form of birth control, this really didn’t become public knowledge until around 1650’s. Condoms dated back to the 1640’s have been found in England, they were made from animal bladder.

Condoms became better known throughout the 18th Century, although a lot of the views were negative. For example, members of parliament in the United Kingdom tried to have them banned as they did not believe they offered sufficient protection against syphilis, and the fact that it encouraged sex with unsafe partners. Despite this though, the condom market expanded rapidly with condoms being sold everywhere from pubs to barbershops to the theatre. Condoms made of skin as opposed to fur lined were much more popular than fur lined condoms. Up until the 19th century though, condom use generally only occurred in the upper classes, mainly due to the lack of sexual education in the working classes.
The early 19th Century saw changes in perceptions towards contraceptives. For the first time ever, the working class had access to condoms. At this point though, condoms weren’t generally promoted as they were deemed to be unreliable as they often had holes in and they were expensive. However, condoms were still promoted by birth control advocates.
In 1839, Charles Goodyear invented rubber vulcanization. The first condoms made of rubber were produced in 1855, and just a short few years later, the majority of rubber companies were producing condoms as well. These condoms were reusable, which meant they were much more affordable. Skin condoms still were more popular however, mainly because they were lower in cost. One of the problems with early rubber condoms was that they were ‘custom made’, and yet they could still fall off as they only covered the glans of the penis. It was eventually discovered by condom manufacturers that they could mass produce condoms wholesale, ones that would fit everybody. This was when the history of condoms changed forever.
The popularity of condoms quickly spread as they became cheaper, despite many countries actually forbidding the advertisement of contraceptive devices. They really came into their own in the middle of the 20th century when condoms were given to the military as they were shown to lower the rate of an STI. Britain did not promote to the soldiers however, and they were the only country not to do so. Before the war, the majority of condoms distributed in Europe were provided by Germany, but this changed a number of years. In 1918 it was deemed that condoms could be sold and advertised for the prevention of disease, although they could not be sold as contraceptives. Condom sales doubled as a result in the 1920s.
In the 1920s, the invention of Latex came about. This involved a process with rubber suspended in water. The first latex condom was produced by the Youngs Rubber Company. They were produced en masse, and they were much cheaper as the labour required was not as high. The London Rubber Company because the first manufacturer of Latex condoms, this brand was known as Durex and is still going strong today.
The ability to create condoms in a large scale manner started in the 1920’s when the first automated condom assembly lines came to be. These were expensive, but they did end up drastically lowering the price of condoms, and eliminating most of the labour that was required. However, many smaller companies went out of business as they could not afford the machinery. Skin condoms started to go out of fashion around this time. However, latex condoms were not known for their effectiveness, in fact, the majority of condoms leaked. The FDA then mandated that a condom was a drug, and therefore they would need to be tested before they left the factory.
The final stage in the history of the condom was the discovery that AIDS was a sexually transmitted disease, and the best way to protect against this (and the only way) was through barrier methods such as the condom. The condom then absolutely exploded in popularity, and can now be found in many places around the world from supermarkets to pharmacies. The condom has now become firmly rooted in the history and is now one of the most popular birth control methods out there.
