“The first documented reference to what could be described as a condom dates back as far as 3000 BC, in a tale that describes King Minos of Crete reportedly using a goat bladder to protect his wife from 'serpents and scorpions' in his semen. By 1000 AD, Egyptian men purportedly wore coloured linen sheaths as condoms - each colour was used to distinguish status in their social hierarchy, naturally.”
