His Majesty Condom

Last weekend evening I was surfing thru the channels & settled down with this sort of Taiwanese 'King of Adventure' sort-of documentary show. Anyway, this week, it was about the Egyptian culture, pyramids & history. It was quite appealing actually. Well,probably I’m got nothing much to do at that time.

One very peculiar thing that caught my attention though. Even the host was surprised. Back to ancient times, possibly 3000 years ago, condoms were actually existed. Hahahah.. Guys are still guys man. Hahahha.. it was pretty hilarious. For me, at least. Back then & now, guys are still bloody typical maniacs. Anyway, this ancient condom (only for pharaohs) looks like a sort-of animal skin belt that you’ll tie around your waist & a little pouch sort-of look to well.. shield your little family jewels. The funny things is you can even wash it when it's 'dirty' & after 'used'. Hahaha..

1.Some people believed that legendary Pharaohs became Egyptian gods. Do you? 2.Royal family emphasized between mankind and the life giving force of the sun disk. 3.Mummified monkey buried and provided with grave goods is evidence for a cult of sacred animals".

Damn, I don’t have the ancient condom picture to upload here. I tried looking for the image online but couldn’t find. But I came across this article about ancient Egyptian condoms…


…. Ancient Egyptian women were tired of applying the ointment of crocodile excrement and honey tincture as vaginal contraceptives, and the heavy burden of contraception fell on men’s fragile shoulders. Meticulous archeologists found out that the first ancestor of the modern condom appeared in Ancient Egypt in the XIII century B.C. Tose condoms did not resemble the thing that you wear sometimes – ancient condoms were lubricated intestines of animals.

Yuck! They smelled awful and looked horrid. Other sources say that ancient condoms were made of leather, then people started making contraceptive devices from bull bladders and sheep blind guts. The modern history of a condom started in 1564, when Italian scientist Gabriel Fallopius invented a little “bag” for male genitals. At first, it was made of linen, but then they started using the coating of animal intestines, which was imbued with special medicines and inorganic salt. This condom covered the top of a penis and was fixed with the help of a pink ribbon. Why was it pink - there is no answer to this question. By the way, that mediaeval condom was not meant for one-time use, and it was supposed to be carefully washed after every use...

A condom is not simply a word, it was the last name of a courtier baker of the English King Carl II. The king asked his servant to invent something that would protect his crowned penis from syphilis. As a result, the king was offered to use a little bag, made of sheep intestines, but this time there was no ribbon on it. This device was then used by all English noblemen.

Practically all men complain of the biggest disadvantage of a condom – some guys say that wearing a condom is like kissing a girl that wears a gas mask. There was an idea to make a little penis hat out of a long condom – a hat that could be put on the top of a penis for more enjoyment. It was even offered to glue such a hat to the ……
