condom:
A thin sheath of latex , polyurethane, or animal intestine worn over the penis during intercourse to prevent pregnancy and the transmission of sexually-transmitted-diseases. With the advent of the female-condom a distinction is sometimes made today between male and female-condom . Condoms are not 100% effective; some STDs are contracted by skin to skin contact outside the protective area of a condom . See condom [SYN] for synonyms. CAUTION:
- a) Check the expiry date on the condom .
- b) Do not store condoms in warm-places (not in your back pocket); it weakens the latex .
- c) Avoid oil-based lubricants; they weaken latex-condoms.
- d) Use plenty of water-based lubricant (to prevent condoms breaking, and to avoid tiny cuts in the skin).
Etymology: Possibly named after: a) Dr. Condom or Conton, a physician at the court of Charles II (ca 1660-1685). b) Colonel Condum in the Royal Guard to Condom, a town in Germany.
