People have come up with bizarre, and often totally misguided, methods to prevent pregnancy over the years. Like wearing the testicles of a weasel on their thighs. Or amulets with desiccated cat livers or shards of bones. Some were advised to use elephant dung as a spermicide. And others used wads of seaweed as a female condom.

The last time I wore weasel testicles to bed my wife assured me that there would be no procreation that night. She was right!
One of my absolute favorite silly lawsuits involved a woman from King of Prussia, Pa. who sued the makers of a contraceptive jelly after becoming impregnated. She felt the product was defective since she religiously applied some to a piece of toast and ate it before every encounter.
Oddly enough i have two male weasels (Ferrets) but they don't have a single testicle between them. In fact you can't buy un-fixed ferrets in Georgia...
Supposedly this is to protect the native black footed ferret but maybe there is an ulterior motive. :)
Birth control has been around at least as long as the Egyptians. Pharohs, the original free-love dudes!
:-D )))
The croc dung with honey might be a little bit more savory.
Or not...
"She felt the product was defective since she religiously applied some to a piece of toast and ate it before every encounter."
She must have been married to the idiot that smeared vaseline all over his face prior to committing a robbery, because he'd heard that it would obscure the security camera (not realizing that it was supposed to be put on the lens). He danced around and taunted the police, all caught on video. Same thing happened with lemon juice.
Pepsi cola works
>I had no idea this had been a drive for so long...I thought hisorically kids=labor.
Translation?
I Hate LIVER!
Any of those subtances will work if the woman holds them tightly between her knees....guaranteed!
And then there were those newlyweds who mixed up spermicide with window putty.
It was a real mess.
A storm came and blew all the windows out.
(Thank you, thank you. Tip the server. Try the veal. I'll be here all week.)
"Pepsi cola works"
My mother gave me the book "Everything you always wanted to know about sex" when I was 12. I remember it included Coca-Cola, used internally, as one method that could work.
How did you miss this?
Oh, and speaking as one who knows, kids DO equal labor!
It's Friday. Too much weirdness to go around.
< |:)~
I can see how that would be effective.
"The last time I wore weasel testicles to bed my wife assured me that there would be no procreation that night."
Wear 'em? Hell, I made stew out of them. Thank God for the gravy.
Especially if still attached to the weasel.
