World's oldest condom
Ananova ^ | 6/8/06 | Staff

The oldest surviving condom in the world has gone on display in an Austrian museum.

The world's oldest condom, dating back to 1640, has gone on display at a museum in Austria /Europics

The reusable condom dates back to 1640 and is completely intact, as is its orginal users' manual, written in Latin.

The manual suggests that users immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases.

The antique, found in Lund in Sweden, is made of pig intestine and is one of 250 ancient objects related to sex on display at the Tirolean County Museum in Austria this summer.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I still remember that movie with the glow-in-the-dark condoms.

Should we be worried about Larry...? Or could he have stepped out for some pig intestine? ;o)

You have a great sense of humidor! ;o)

Yes, that condition is called priapism. See Robin Williams 2004 HBO Special for more details...

heh. Thank you.

Hmph. Larry sure is taking a bit to get back to the thread. I wonder what is taking so long.

Could he be listening to his favorite band? Meat Beat Manifesto!

Or maybe he was watching "Spank-tro-Vision" and saw that funny comedian... What's his name... um, oh yeah, Buddy Whack-it.

Gee, I wonder if he could be watching the "Yankees".

Who do you think his favorite little rascal is? Alfalfa or is it Spanky?

Just having a little fun at your expense, Larry. No hard feelings, eh?
