The reusable condom dates back to 1640 and is completely intact, as is its orginal users’ manual, written in Latin.
The manual suggests that users immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases.
The antique, found in Lund in Sweden, is made of pig intestine and is one of 250 ancient objects related to sex on display at the Tirolean County Museum in Austria this summer.

The world-famous drag queen beaten by a gang of homophobic thugs left a Manhattan hospital yesterday as community leaders renewed their calls for justice.
“You don’t know how it feels until this happens to you. It feels like someone pulled your soul out,” victim Kevin Aviance, 38, said through his lawyer.
The nightclub legend, whose songs have topped the Billboard dance charts, suffered a broken jaw and knee after four young males, yelling anti-gay slurs, beat him to the ground about 1:30 a.m. Saturday in the East Village.
Gerard Johnson, 16, and Gregory Archie, 18, both of Manhattan; Akino George, 20, of the Bronx, and Jarrell Sears, 20, of Newark, were arrested in the attack.
They face eight to 25 years in prison if convicted of first-degree assault as a hate crime. Johnson, who has a pending robbery case, and Sears, whose record includes a drug arrest, were .arraigned last night and held on $50,000 bond.
“What happened to Kevin over the weekend is just outrageous,” said City Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan). “I hope the district attorney prosecutes those responsible to the fullest extent of the law, and that this crime is prosecuted fully as the hate crime that it was.”
Quinn, who is gay, had equally strong words for the witnesses who allegedly did nothing as Aviance was dragged down the sidewalk.
“When New Yorkers see a victim of a crime, they have a responsibility to pick up the phone and call 911,” Quinn said.
“We can’t ever go back to the days of people just closing their windows when they hear someone in trouble.”
Aviance, who clutched a bouquet of yellow roses and a framed photo of himself in full makeup as he was wheeled out of Beth Israel Medical Center, is expected to appear in court Thursday to identify his attackers.
Publicist Len Evans said Aviance’s jaw will be wired shut for about 21/2 weeks, possibly through his appearance at this month’s Gay Pride Parade.
“This is his month to shine and make money. He performs all through the month of June, and realistically the doctors don’t think he can do it,” Evans said.
“I don’t think he realizes that when the wiring is taken off his jaw, he won’t be able to move his mouth like he used to.”

I’ll be happy to start this QC BitchFest. OK, this is becoming a serious pain in the ass. I am paying triple now what I was paying for gas not 5 years ago. I am on the go a lot and this is starting to irk my last nerve. Those cars that use old grease for fuel are beginning to look really good.

Here is this weeks topic: Humidity
I’ll be happy to start this QC BitchFest. I love Summer, I adore it and long for it in the Winter, BUT dear lord why must humidity be such a dinosaur? I think it makes my sweat sweat. Sure AC is great, until you step out that door and it is like stepping foot on the sun.
The news out of Fort Bragg is that a Third Fort Bragg Soldier, Pfc. Wesley K. Mitten, has pled guilty to doing gay porn for Activeduty.com. Mitten was the so-called ringleader who first went to activeduty.com and who was responsible for getting other soldiers in his unit to do work for Active Duty.
Mitten told the court that he was contacted by the Web site’s producer, Dennis Ashe, through the Internet in August.
Ashe, a leading producer of military-themed pornography, owns three Fayetteville-based production companies: Active Duty Productions, Pink Bird Media and New Fame Media, according to the N.C. Secretary of State’s Office.
Mitten said he met with Ashe the day after he was contacted. The producer asked him to pose for nude pictures and offered to pay him $2,000 to perform in a gay pornography video.
Mitten, performing under the name “Donnie,” and another paratrooper met at Ashe’s house the following day and filmed a pornography video…
Search a little and you can find the video with Donnie. The video is called HotZone on ActiveDuty.com.
Even more intriguing is a comment we got on our own site, when we mentioned the ActiveDuty.com scandal. A comment from someone who goes by the name of “Donnie”:
The military is a blatant practitioner of discriminatory policies towards homosexuals. Any institution that requires ANY of its members to deny something as basic as their own sexual orientation-and then LINK that orientation to concerns over “security” is just WRONG-plain and simple.
Donnie is that you?

Hentai (変態 pronounced “Hentai”) in Japanese that means “transformation” or “aberration” and is used in biology to refer to metamorphosis. However, in colloquial situations it often means “perverted” and is subsequently used in many other countries to refer to anime, manga, and computer games with explicit sexual or pornographic content.
Visit Hentai Video World for a huge repository of downloadable Hentai videos.
YouTube is spending an estimated $1 million per month, equating to 200 terabytes per day of video content. YIKES!!! We’ve definitely been contributing to that hefty bill.
Details scribe Mark Simpson penned an article in the most recent issue of the magazine detailing producer Dink Flamingo and his video business with soldiers in the 82nd Airborne out of Fort Bragg, seven of whom were charged with appearing in Flamingo’s gay porn videos on ActiveDuty.com. Twohave recently pleaded guilty in exchange for plea deals and been sentenced and discharged from the armed forces. Towleroad’s Andy has transcribed an excerpt from the article which details how he was persuaded to show his “uncut English cock”.
