That there is no rubber or plastic inbetween..

No, you're dead wrong. It's because latex condoms have been around since animal intestine stopped being used as condoms up until the 1800's. It wasn't until Charles Goodyear made much cheaper condoms when the vulcanizing process was first invented that 'rubber' condoms were created, which is why they were called "rubbers" during the 19th Century.
In the 20th Century, natural latex made from mushrooms became the most expensive condoms on the market, used mainly by those who lived in France, followed by the much cheaper synthetic latex which were only used by Americans and which were made from polymers.
Synthetic latex will stretched and retracted like an elastic band, unlike natural latex which does not behave the same way because of it's lack of elasticity. Natural latex will stretch to conform to a guy's natural shape but natural latex will not retract into it's original size and shape when removed.

Natural latex, the milky white fluid from which rubber is derived, is obtained from the sap of the Hevea brasiliensis tree, also known as the Brazilian rubber tree.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Source:
The primary source of natural rubber latex is the Hevea brasiliensis tree, a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, native to the Amazon Basin.
Extraction Process:
The latex is extracted by making shallow incisions in the bark of the tree, which allows the milky sap to flow out and be collected. This process is called "tapping".
Milky Fluid:
The latex is a milky, white fluid that is a colloidal dispersion of rubber particles in water.
Natural Rubber Formation:
Natural rubber is formed when the latex is coagulated, typically by adding acid, causing the rubber particles to clump together.
Commercial Significance:
The Brazilian rubber tree is the only commercial source of natural rubber at present.

Yes, latex is still one of the most commonly used materials for making condoms. Latex condoms are popular because they are effective at preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) when used correctly. However, there are also other materials used to make condoms, especially for individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities. Here are some alternatives:
1. **Polyurethane**: This is a type of plastic that is thinner than latex and can transmit heat well, which might enhance sensitivity. Polyurethane condoms are suitable for those allergic to latex and can be used with both oil-based and water-based lubricants.
2. **Polyisoprene**: This is a synthetic rubber that closely resembles latex but does not contain the proteins that cause latex allergies. Polyisoprene condoms provide a similar level of protection as latex condoms and are more elastic than polyurethane condoms.
3. **Lambskin (Natural Membrane)**: Made from the intestinal membrane of lambs, these condoms are effective for pregnancy prevention but do not provide protection against STIs, as they are porous and can allow viruses to pass through.
4. **Other Synthetic Materials**: Some new technologies are exploring additional synthetic materials for condom manufacturing, but these are less common.
When selecting a condom, it’s important to choose one that meets your needs and preferences, especially considering allergies or sensitivities. Always check the packaging for instructions on proper use and compatibility with lubricants.
