The Truth About Condoms - Planned Parenthood
"History of the Condom
The earliest known illustration of a man using a condom during sexual intercourse is painted on the wall of a cave in France. It is 12,000-15,000 years old (Parisot, 1987). We know that condoms have been used to protect against sexually transmitted infection since the sixteenth century and to prevent unwanted pregnancy since the eighteenth century (Himes, 1963). Since the 19th century, American moralists — who have misunderstood or denied its public health benefits — have attacked condom use (Brodie, 1994).
As a result, those who promoted an abstinence-until-marriage agenda stymied public health efforts toward increased condom use in the U.S for most of the 20th century. During World War I, for example, U.S. allies, such as New Zealand, gave their troops condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infection. But social hygienists in the U.S. forced the American Armed Expeditionary Forces to adopt a chastity campaign — they were opposed to any prophylactic prevention of sexually transmitted infection. Consequently, in 1919 alone, U.S. troops reported a yearly admissions rate of 766.55 per 1,000 for sexually transmitted infection (Brandt, 1985)."
