Condoms have a fascinating history. In 1000 B.C., Egyptian men used a linen sheath for protection against disease. By the 1700s, condoms were made from animal intestines and described as “a cobweb against infection.” In the 1800s, rubber became the condom material
of choice. Natural rubber latex was introduced in the early 1900s, and by the 1950s lubricated condoms were widely marketed. Since then, we have seen the advent of polyurethane condoms. Currently, condoms have become thinner and strongerm and they come in various sizes, shapes, colors and, yes, even flavors. Clearly, we’ve come a long way from using Egyptian linen penis wraps for disease protection. Condoms can reduce your risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, but just how effective are they?
>No type of condom prevents pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) 100% of the time.
> Condoms are much less protective if used inconsistently and/or incorrectly
> Condom if used wrong they may break and could lead to transmissions of different STDs and pregnancy. This is a huge problem because when you think about it, it only needs to happen one time and you could be infected.
> Condom is not very effective at all against diseases like the Herpes Simplex Virus strains 1 and 2, HPV the cause of Genital Warts and Cervical Cancer, Genital Crabs or Pubic Lice, as well as Body Lice otherwise known as Scabies.
> NOT all STDs are spread through semen, meaning a condom may not be the magic shield you thought it was. Anything that can be spread with skin-to-skin contact is not going to be protected for by a condom.
> Herpes virus can be found in the folds of the scrotum. A condom will not protect you from that exposure.
The best way to ensure 100 percent protection against STDs is for both partners to abstain from sexual intercourse until marriage and then to refrain from extramarital sex.
