Condom: The word first used
There has been immense debate about the origin of the word condom. One suggestion was
that there was a Dr.
(or Colonel) Condom (or Condum, Condon, or Conton) - a physician at the court of Charles
II - who invented
the device. The word first appeared in print in a poem written in 1706 - "A Scots Answer to a
British Vision,"
which refers to contemporary instruments for combating venereal disease (Sirenge and
Condum/Come both in
Request).
