The modern male contraceptive has been around since the 19th century when rubber was invented. But condoms were already in use for hygiene and protection before the 1800s based on records, only they were made of elastic animal bladder and intestine walls.

One such condom on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands is made from a sheep’s appendix, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Illustrated on the sheath are a nun lifting up her skirt and pointing her finger at three clergymen, who also have their genitals exposed, AFP reports.

Meanwhile, a Japanese teenager used a condom in a way that caused him to run afoul of the law.

Prosecutors want to charge the 16-year-old boy for disrupting business at the Kura Sushi restaurant in Tokyo’s Toshima Ward on 28 May.

The boy dined with friends at the sushi restaurant, then recorded himself placing a condom in the return slot for plates and uploaded the video on X, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police said, Dimsumdaily.com reports.

Understandably, the restaurant faced a backlash online and had to respond to numerous customer inquiries. Its staff had to thoroughly wash the contaminated dishes and the affected equipment, according to Dimsumdaily.com.

During questioning by police, the condom prankster revealed his motive.

“I wanted to post something attention-grabbing to see my friends’ reactions. I didn’t think about the consequences,” Dimsumdaily.com quoted him as saying.
