Ever wonder why that romantic beach scene isn't so sexy in reality? Jen and Dagda kick things off discussing the impracticality of sand, food, and intimacy before diving deep into the surprisingly fascinating history of condoms. From Gabriele Falloppio's 1490s linen sheaths (soaked in mystery chemicals and milk!) to tortoise shell "brain buckets" and animal horn contraptions that would make anyone choose celibacy, this episode traces 500+ years of barrier protection evolution. Learn why Casanova called condoms the must-have "assurance cap," discover how Charles Goodyear revolutionized safe sex with rubber vulcanization, and hear the legendary story of Agnes, Mabel and Beckie—the concept of "three widows" and their sexual experience to encourage purchase from a reusable condom company . Agnes, Mabel and Beckie aka "The Widows" became so popular their names became slang. Plus: shocking facts about Ireland's condom laws lasting until 1985, WWI's backwards abstinence campaign, and why condoms weren't approved for anal sex until 2022. A wild ride through contraceptive history that proves humans have always been creatively determined to have safe fun.

Always a good time to be had...After Dark.

We truly enjoyed our time working on the brick and mortar side of the adult industry. We spent A LOT of time trying to satisfy and satiate many a curious mind while educating the 1st timers on some adult fun ideas!

We had a great employer who was not only the 1st fully licensed adult store in Washington , Momma D was the 1st FEMALE adult store owned in our state!
