Though the condom we have today is basically the same as the condoms we remember throughout our lifetime, there is a rich history of the condom.

The Early Centuries

Throughout the history of the condom, it was used for both birth control and to avoid sexually transmitted diseases. The condom is depicted in some ancient art, as far back as 12,000 – 15,000 years old. It is difficult to know what material those condoms depicted were made of. There is, however, a legend of Minos, which is recorded in 150 AD, that lends credence to the idea that there were condoms in ancient history . In this legend, Minos suffers from a curse that makes his semen have scorpions and serpents.

Protection Against Pregnancy

The best scientific data on condom effectiveness shows that if condoms are used properly, there is a two percent failure rate. Some people mistakenly interpret this two percent failure rate as meaning that a woman has a two percent chance of getting pregnant every time she has sex even if her partner is using a condom.

The way the failure rate is calculated is how many women can expect to get pregnant in a year if they use a condom correctly every time they have sex. The two percent failure rate means that over the course of a year, two percent of women who use a condom every time will get pregnant. Your actual chance of getting pregnant while using a condom during any one sexual encounter is much lower than two percent.

All About Condoms: Size Does Matter

As the old maxim goes, all men are not created equal: in all aspects of life especially with regards to penis sizes (and shapes). Thus men are unique in most features. For this simple reason, sizes and shapes do really matter in buying for a perfect (fit) condom. Nonetheless, all men have equal reason why they use condoms: to be protected. However, being protected does not mean compromising the ‘pleasure’ part of using condoms. Development of condoms had been so drastic throughout the history from the very irritating animal intestine to the tasty fruit-flavored condoms.

Getting it Right: Choosing the Perfect Condom

Picking up a condom that is the perfect fit for a penis is the excellent way to achieve greatest protection and pleasure in every sexual encounter. The first fact that a consumer should consider is that there are a lot of condom sizes. The average dimension of a condom size (available in the market) is about almost eight inches long and two inches wide (at the shaft while at the ‘head’ it is a little above 2 inches wide).

The age we are living in now is called the Jet Age. Can our early forefathers who lived in the Stone Age and the Ice Age even imagine that an age such as ours would come into being? The wonders of science never cease to amaze us. When we think that nothing now remains to be invented science again proves us wrong. The moon which mystified men for centuries now has man’s footprints on it. Quite different to all but with its unique approach condom has come as a true revolution of science. Condom use has smashed all previous records since after its inception and is now ruling the market. It has certainly made our sex life better.

This massive popularity of condom is due to the fact that it helps to prevent sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS and Syphilis as well as prevent pregnancy. Condoms are available in market for both sexes. What we generally called condom is the male condom while there is another one especially for female called female condom which is a vaginal sheath and fits just inside her vagina. This amazing element is made of latex or polyurethane. Latex condoms are the most popular in the world due to its cheaper price and easy availability while the polyurethanes are a bit expensive but are thinner and hence increases sensitivity and are better in appearance and feel, as stated by its users.

It may come as a surprise, but the percentage of teenagers that use condoms for vaginal sex is much higher than the percentage of people aged 40 and over.

It is obvious that the advertisement surrounding the safety of using condoms is generally aimed at people in school or college. A grant of nearly $400 million was given to a total of 28 programs to increase the rate of condom use in young people. It is a fact like this which suggests that too much of the ‘advertisement’ funds are geared toward teenagers, and maybe it is time that some of these funds put towards educating the elder generation.
