Deep, Burning Question
According to a History Channel special I watched a couple of nights ago, in ancient Rome, condoms were made of sheep entrails. Cut a piece off and knot it on one end, and voila! You have a condom.
My question is this:
Who was the first person who looked at a pile of sheep entrails and thought, "Hmm. These could make a great condom." ?? And, when he looked at that pile, did he calculate how much money he could make per sheep? (And were the sheep looking at the man a little funny?)
Thoughts, anyone? Cuz, I really wanna know.

They used sheep entrails for other stuff at that time, if I'm not mistaken...but honestly, what probably happened is some little perve decided to masturbate with them (those ancient Romans were really pretty sick f*cks)...and it just went on from there.
December, you're right. They used animal entrails for lots of stuff. And other icky things. This program went on to show how women used dried pigeon droppings and some other kind of animal dung to treat blemishes on their faces. Ewwwww!
Chey, yep, now you know. Aren't you glad you stopped by today? LOL
Sherrill, it also makes me wonder who thought of trying anal sex first. I mean, "hey, people crap out of there, butt what the heck?" lol
Well, Sam, there's a fine question, too. Probably a couple of horny guys out on a mountain top with no women around. Figured, what the hey, a hole's a hole, right? LOL
I used to know a girl who thought her boyfriend's sperm helped cure her blemishes, lol. She'd make him...you know...so she could treat her complexion. As for the sheep entrails...I just continuously marvel at the ingenuity and pervesity of human kind, lol. Anna j.
Anna, that'd make a terrific erotic horror book, don't you think? Kind of a play on the Elizabeth Bathory story, but with a twist. Instead of a woman keeping young girls and killing them to bathe in their blood, she keeps young men to use their ejaculate...
I don't know his name, but I bet it was a trojan. Actually, the "Trojan" condoms are named after him. *nods* *grins*
LOL Tempest. You're probably right. :)
I've heard that before about the condoms. Kind of a fascinating subject, don't you think?
Tess, it's a fascinating subject. When they were using sheep guts in ancient Rome, how much of it was to prevent pregnancies and how much of it was to prevent the spread of disease? How much of all of that did they understand 3,000 years ago?
