Imagine you’re hooking up with different partners. You grow fond of some more than others, but generally, you’re having a good time. That is until your lovers start to fall ill and die. For some reason, this disease doesn’t affect you, it just kills off your sexual partners. Today, it’s easy for us to think it’s probably a sexually transmitted disease, but before our modern understanding of sexual health or science in general, your theories of what’s killing your lovers may take on wild shapes and forms. In 3000 BCE, King Minos, the ruler of Knossos, and his mistresses had this very problem. It was believed that the King had snakes and scorpions in his semen, and that’s what was killing his mistresses. He wanted to prevent his wife, Pasiphae, from meeting the same fate. And so, a goat bladder was introduced to protect them both during intercourse. And according to the limited historical resources of the time, it worked. Pasiphae lived, and the invention of the condom was born; at least, our first known record of it. The condom might seem common today, but it truly changed humanity. It has been critical in preventing the spread of diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
