USE A BLADDER PLEASE!

Imagine wearing a condom made from animal intestines? Well, according to several of my male friends, the thought of it is reason enough not to want to have sex. To that regard, I guess it served its purpose. After all the best prevention for unwanted pregnancy is not to have sex at all!

The photo is of a condom from the 15th Century.

I wonder what women used to say back then before sex? These days it's probably 'Baby, you got your rubber?' or something along those lines. Back then, it had to be something like 'Honey, you got your bladder on?'

But seriously, what about the women? How must they have felt with that in them? It was also known to break out into little pieces during the act. The whole idea might have been repulsive which probably helped with birth control or encouraged more people not to wear them - so an explosion of unwanted pregnancies.

Thanks for the photo, Helen from Hong Kong.

Missus Singapore out!
