Maybe Ausar could help me out but I read somewhere that the ancient Egyptians invented condems. Is this true? and Did they also have techniques to lower their risks of STD's? I've heard stories about ancient civilizations in the near East having problems with STD's so I wonder if the Egyptians had invented safe sex and birth control.

Yes,the ancient Kemetians made condoms made of sheep bellies and also used crocodile dung as a means that modern people use spermicide. Modern scientiist have found that crocdile dung contains an agent that prevents pregnancy and kills sprem.

Lol. Can't imagine how anyone could stay aroused with the smell of dung. I'm sure they had ways to weaken the odor.

Thanks Ausar.

A better question is how in the world did they discover it was useful for that?

I guess it's just human ingenuity. Some things are best left to the imagination!
