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.
