Topic: 6 Surprising Things You Didn’t Know About Condoms

For a very long time, co ndoms have
been known to be highly preferred
for safe intimacy and s exual
relationship.
However, quite a lot of people do not
know some important things about co
ndoms, how it came about and some
shocking things that surrounds its
usage. Here are 6 things you never
knew about co ndoms.
1. Only 5% Of Men Around The
World Wear co ndoms
Although it is a general belief that a co
ndom helps in safe intimacy, it is,
however, surprising that only 5% of
men around the world use it. This
percentage is really low considering
the goal is 100%.
2. There Are Four Different Kinds Of
co ndoms
The commonest of all the types of co
ndoms is the latex. For men with
allergies, non-latex co ndoms are
made from polyurethane. For those
who are allergic to both latex and
polyurethane, the third type is made
of polyisoprene. Then there are
lambskin co ndoms, which are actually
made from lamb intestines, not skin.
Finally, you can always pick up female
co ndoms, which function drastically
differently but are still designed to
protect against pregnancy and STIs.
3. Modern co ndoms Are Made From
Tires.
All thanks to Charles Goodyear for the
first rubber vulcanisation process
produced in 1855. Ever wondered why
the present-day latex co ndoms are
sometimes called “rubbers” by people
like your grandfather and carnival
barkers? It is because it was produced
from tires.
4. co ndoms Basically Have Not Been
Redesigned Since They Were
Invented
Since the evolution of the first co
ndom in the 1920s, it has never been
redesigned despite all the advances
made with bumps and ridges. It has
been the way it was first produced.
5. co ndoms (On Average) Do Not
Really Affect How Good The s ex Is
For those who think co ndom affect
how good a s exual experience is, it is
a fallacy. Surveys have shown that
couples were just as satisfied with s ex
whether or not they used co ndoms. So
considering co ndoms are 98%
effective at preventing pregnancy and
make s ex more safer, “it doesn’t feel
good” isn’t an excuse not to use one.
6. Women Account For Almost Half
Of co ndom Sales
A popular survey has shown that
women buy more co ndoms than men.
This means the women buy for their
men than men buy for themselves.
Women account for at least 40% of co
ndom sales. Which is good, because
you should pretty much always have
them at hand.
