1822 Condom
Kids these days, dunno how good they got it. Was a time, your condom was made out of sheep’s gut, had a fuckin’ drawstring, and needed washing after you used it:

Er… and the drawstring helped set those spikes into one’s skin, at the base of one’s penis?
Cockrings didn’t look like Anywhere near as much fun!
Without being able to read the text, it’s far from clear to me whether the spiked cock ring has anything to do with the condom. But certainly toys like that still exist…
I used sheepskin condoms in my youth
I am thinking you must mean lambskin condoms Kevin. Otherwise they would be furry. Which, now I think of it, is probably someone’s kink. No offense meant.
According to healthline.com “The word “lambskin” is misleading as these condoms aren’t actually made from true lambskin. They’re made from lamb cecum, which is the pouch located at the beginning of a lamb’s large intestine.”
Jesus automatic: I am aware of what they were made of. It was how they were marketed. Thanks for the reminder
