I found something at the archive
Well, I found something today at the archive. I found a comdom. It is in a Prussian Justice Ministry file. The file is very thick and contains many fascinating documents about "offenses and crimes against morality." It also contains this condom, which is circa about 1928. It's in a blue-and-white wrapper. They collected it because they were busy worrying about whether it was against the law to advertise a condom.

man, never trust the archive! Sure the archive says it has a condom, but it didn't say it's been carrying that condom in it's back pocket for 50 years! watch out sister!
I'm glad that you're being sure to have the safest archive experience possible. If you're going to study sex in history...you should have historical condoms handy to ward of historical stds and historical babies.
