I once read that the Marquis de Sade used to make
dildos out of wood and wax way back when before they had
silicone. And of course,
Wahls and
Magic Wands are modern versions of some of the very first
vibrators.So what about
safer sex? Well, the oldest surviving condom in the world (pictured) has gone on display in an Austrian museum.The reusable condom dates back to 1640 and is completely intact, as is its original 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. Check it out
