Population Fund estimates around 10 billion male latex condoms are manufactured each year and most are disposed of in landfills. That\u2019s because most condoms are made from synthetic latex and use additives and chemicals, meaning they cannot be recycled.<\/p>\n<p>Lambskin condoms, which have been used since Roman times, are the only fully biodegradable option. However, they are made from the intestine of a sheep and do not prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs).<\/p>\n<p>Many lubes are also petroleum-based, and therefore contain fossil fuels. This has led to a rise in water-based or organic products. And homemade options are becoming more popular.&nbsp;Dr Tessa Commers has more than a million followers watching her TikTok videos on sexual health. Her most viewed video \u2013 with almost eight million watches \u2013 is a recipe for homemade lube made from cornstarch and water.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe water-based lubricants, organic and vegan condoms are a good pick for having fun and embracing a sustainable sex life,\u201d Akinsemolu said. \u201cThey not only cause minor damage to the environment but offer their users a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18493010\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"32\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Adenike-Akinsemolu.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18493010\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Adenike-Akinsemolu.jpg\" alt=\"Nigerian scientist Dr. Adenike Akinsemolu is pictured, August 31, 2015.
