The first condoms are said to have been made from animals bladders or intestines. This, of course, doesn't sound too clean nor does it sound comfortable either. Did people get infections from these? Was the ancient condom just a curiosity, as it very likely might not have felt good for both parties?

If it wasn't a curiosity, what did the ancient Greeks and Romans (and medieval Europeans) think of these things from a societal POV? Was it seen as something filthy or did they view the potential risk of infection and the discomfort as something that was worth an unwanted pregnancy or even a STD (if they even realised the "ST" part is key to spreading it)?
