The condom of 1844 is made of sheep intestines! Want to know how it's made?

A little disgusting but powerful handmade that has been lost (there is an introduction to the practice, but it is not recommended to try …. ) the moving graph is multi-p

when I was hanging out on iO9, I found something a little disgusting but very powerful. They made a version of Sheep according to the recipe of 1844. Intestines! Avoid! Pregnant! Condom!

mm-hmm, so today I'm going to share with you about this kind of superclassical condom.

condoms are a very popular form of contraception. Today's condoms are mostly made of natural rubber latex and some of them are made of other polymer materials such as polyurethane. People began to use condoms before these materials appeared. The materials of these ancient condoms include fish swim bladder, animal intestines, animal skin, and so on.

sounds drunk, but at that time, there was nothing I could do about it.

so, how do sheep intestines become a condom? Here are the general steps of the prescription in 1844:

first, take the cecum of the sheep (the advantage of the cecum is that one end of the cecum is closed), wash it and soak it in clean water and turn it over. Next, continue to soak with lye, change the liquid every 4-5 hours, repeat N times, next, scrape off the mucous layer, sulfur fumigation, then rinse clean, prop up the shape on the rod, and dry.

among them, the function of lye is to destroy the original biological tissue structure.
