The word condom was born from the french man Charles de la Condamine (1701-1774), who discovered rubber, later used for the production of condoms.
After general studies in Paris at the Louis-le-Grand college, one of the most famous french college, he studied science and was involved in research with the french Académie des Sciences to which he had been elected in 1730.   In April 1735, Charles de la Condamine was sent to conduct an exploration in Peru. From Quito, La Condamine sailed down the Amazon river – the first and the first french scientiste ever – and reached Cayenne (French Guyana).   From this travel, La Condamine brought back to Paris in February 1745 a description of the rubber tree and was elected as a member of the Royal Society. In 1760, Charles de la Condamine entered the Académie Française, where he was greeted by Georges-Louis Leclerc, comte de Buffon.   Linked to the latex, Condamine 's name became, thanks to the English, a common name for the male contraceptive device, the condom, after Condamine 's death.   But Condom is also a small town located in the south west of France, with its condom museum. And in this nice little french town is located the headquarter of The Original Condom Company, created by 2 french aristocrats, Count Gil de Bizemont and Prince Charles-Emmanuel de Bourbon Parme.
