I still use mine for a pocket watch, which is what I was told it was for when I was a kid.

Condoms (of sorts) have been around for a couple of thousand years or so. (Well, the ancient egyptians had them anyway)

Nowadays some jeans and slacks are getting mobilephone pockets. Certain men's underwear have pouches. Maybe an overtly condom-specific pocket isn't so outrageous.
