who invented the comdom?

Question

i just wondered.

Answer 1

I don't know but, I think you've got too much time on your hands!

Answer 2

A man famous for a part of the woman's anatomy - Gabriel Fallopius (you can fill in what he is honored for). In the mid 1500's, he designed a medicated sheath to go over the tip of the penis and under the foreskin. It was held on by a pink ribbon so that it would appeal to women.

He was then forced to design one for the circumcised guys - a standard of eight inches (The average man must have been bigger back in those days). It was tested on over 1000 men with overwhelming success.

One would guess that they were trying to prevent pregnancy, but that was the woman's problem in those days. They were actually used to prevent the spread of venereal diseases, syphilis in particular. Men hated them, and gave them the name overcoats.

About 100 years later, England's King Charles II requested his physician, the Earl of Condom, to devise something to protect him from syphilis. He came up with an oiled sheath made from sheep intestine. No one is really sure if he knew about Fallopius' contraption. Soon all the noblemen were using them.

The problem? They reused them (Yuk) without washing them (double Yuk Yuk). Therefore, they still ended up getting that dreaded disease.

The modern rubber was invented in 1870, but was not the thin latex type we see today. Those were developed in the 1930's.

Answer 3

Invented by a Russian scientist Mr. Bymee Anstopwun.

Answer 4

1350-1220 BC
Ancient Egyptians used sheaths to protect themselves against infection, injury and insect bites
100-200 AD
Cave paintings at Combarelles in the Dordogne area of Southern France were the earliest evidence of European condom use
1500s
The first known published description and trials regarding prophylactic condom use were recorded by the Italian anatomist Gabrielle Fallopius. He claimed to have invented a condom made of linen and cut to the shape of the glans. He conducted trials amongst 1,100 men using the condom - none of whom became infected with syphilis
1660s
There are many different stories and theories, but the origin of the word 'condom' is still unknown. One of the favourite theories is that it was named after its inventor, Condom or Conton, who was at the court of King Charles II. Some say he was a doctor, others a colonel, and that King Charles was so delighted with
the invention that he conferred a knighthood on the inventor. This is a nice story, but generally considered to hold little truth. Another more likely theory, is that it is derived from the Latin condus which means receptacle

1700s
The condom, which was made of animal gut, became well known and increased rapidly in popularity. It is not known when the condom was used as a contraceptive rather than a prophylactic, but literature of the 1700s suggests that the
condom's contraceptive properties had already been acknowledged. Condom shops appeared during this time and by 1766 many shops were producing handbills and advertisements
1725-1798
Arguably the most famous lover of all, Casanova, used condoms not only to prevent infection but also to prevent impregnating his women friends. He referred to condoms by various names including English riding coat, assurance caps and a piece of dead skin
1800s
The Japanese had two types of condom, one made of thin leather known as Kawagata or Kyotai, and one made of tortoiseshell or horn, known as Kabutogata
1843
With the revolutionary discovery of rubber vulcanisation by Goodyear and Hancock, it became possible to mass produce more reliable and less expensive products including condoms. Condoms could be made by dipping moulds (formers) in a solution of crepe rubber followed by vulcanisation. This is the
method or process of treating crepe rubber with sulphur and subjecting it to heat. This process turns the rubber into a strong elastic material

1930s
A second technical revolution took place in the manufacture of condoms, when liquid latex superseded the crepe rubber solution
1951
The first fully automated production dipping line was introduced, speeding up the technique of condom manufacturing
1953
Electronic testing machines were developed and introduced
1957
The first lubricated condom was launched in the UK
1980s
Condoms began to be sold in pubs, grocery stores and supermarkets throughout the world. Following recognition of AIDS and HIV, prophylactic use of the condom increased

Answer 5

Apparently, Fallopius invented the linen condom in 1597. However, "penis sheaths" can be dated back as far as 1350 to 1200 BC

Answer 6

Condoms are depicted as far back as ancient Egyptian times, though many speculate that they were used in rituals back then as opposed to being used for contraception.

I believe the use of condoms as contraception really started in the 1850s back when they were made of rubber, though as early as the mid 1600's they were made from animal intestine and used for preventing STIs.

Interesting question! :)
