About this product
Product Information
This unique history provides an intriguing glimpse into human sexual habits, customs, beliefs, and attitudes surrounding a prophylactic device that goes back to at least the ancient Egyptians. The author includes many fascinating historical details, such as: * Clergymen of the Middle Ages left records of birth control methods that "worked." * When women had few choices in the world of commerce, a significant number found a legitimate and profitable business niche producing and selling sheaths. * During the Great Depression, while other businesses went bankrupt, condom manufacturers found themselves doing a booming trade throughout the 1930s, one of Wall Street's few successes. * AIDS has brought the condom full circle. Not for the first time in history has the little device been vilified as a promoter of dirty, illicit sex and lauded as a life-saving device. Thoroughly researched yet presented in a witty, enjoyable style, The Humble Little Condom is both an entertaining read and an educational, impeccably researched popular history.

Reviews
"This book has it all-sex, money, infidelity, war, poetry, the famous and the infamous, politics, hypocrisy. What a read! … Although there are plenty of laughs, this is a serious history, and one that was hard to put down. I had no idea the condom had such a long and complex story." -Frederick Gottlieb, MD, MPH, C. Everett Koop Public Health Physician Award recipient "Illuminating... This fascinating book is as much a history of attitudes and morality as it is about the humble condom. Thoroughly researched yet never dry..." -Monsters and Critics.com "A wonderful, compact tome, chock-full of posters, packages, and poems on the centuries-old device used by millions… Everything you ever wanted to know about the condom, and quite a few things you probably haven't thought of. Funny, ribald, uninhibited, and well researched. I recommend it." -Phil Harvey, president, DKT International, author of The Government vs. Erotica, ""This book has it all--sex, money, infidelity, war, poetry, the famous and the infamous, politics, hypocrisy.
