Description

Imagine engaging with various partners and finding some more intriguing than others, until they begin to fall ill and die, leaving you unaffected. In ancient times, lacking modern medical knowledge, such occurrences might have inspired wild theories. In 3000 BCE, King Minos of Knossos faced this dilemma. Legend has it that his lovers died due to snakes and scorpions in his semen. To save his wife, Pasiphae, a goat bladder was used as a protective measure during intercourse. This is one of the earliest known forms of the condom, an invention that has significantly impacted human history by preventing disease and unwanted pregnancies.
