February is National Condom Month

National Condom Month focuses attention on safe sexual habits and preventing sexual diseases through the use of a condom.

The condom has existed in one form or another since 1564. The first condoms were developed by Gabriel Falloppio and consisted of a linen bag drenched in a solution of salt or herbs to protect men against syphilis. Eventually it earned the nickname "English Raincoat". By the 18th Century, sheep and goat intestines as well as silk and linen were used. Men had to tie these to their bodies to prevent them from coming off. The name condom is from the Latin "condus" which translates to "receptacle". Today there are both male and female versions of the condom and they are typically made of latex (rubber) or sheep intestines. Today they are also made from plastic.
