Men who have received sex education were more likely to use condom. The use of condoms has been traced back to several thousand years. The pre- historic cave findings in Egypt and France pointed out that condoms were in use, but it was in different form called the penile sheath, even today the tribes in Amazon jungle use gourd shells; however, most historians believed that Romans soldiers were the first to use the condoms. These soldiers used dried sheep intestine as sheathed for protecting themselves against sexually transmitted diseases. With the fall of Roman Empire the use of condoms becomes very rare. In fact the condom technology was lost during the Middle Ages. The condom was reinvented by Marquis De Sade in the 17thth century. Merrill Youngs was the first company in the world to manufacture and distribute. In 1957, the very first lubricated condom was launched in the UK by Durex. From the early 1960s, the use of condoms as a contraceptive device declined as the pill, the coil and sterilisation became more popular. The female condom has been available in Europe since 1992 and it was approved in 1993 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).In more recent years, improved technology has enabled the thickness of the condom to decrease. Also, condom manufacturers have recognised that one size of condom does not fit all. Now condoms with different shapes, widths and lengths are available. 2.2 GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDUSTRY Ever since Merrill Youngs came up with manufacture and distribution of condom world over, new companies have come to the scenario. In the past men had to do the labour cutting, slicing and shaping the intestine of lamb and sheep to use. Today the latest technology helps to vulcanize the rubber latex into thin film called condom.
