Contraception involves preventing pregnancy
after an unsafe sexual intercourse. There are some naturally invented methods that
I find amazing;
1.
I got a report that some ladies
stand after sexual intercourse to allow the sperm drip out by standing with
legs wide opened. Just imagine this, well I have this to say. If the sperm is
agile and in a healthy semen my sister it has already passed through the
cervix. The fact is that the force of expulsion of semen from the penis goes a
long way to deliver the semen deep into the vagina and through the cervix.
2.
Licking lime immediately after
intercourse could be of benefit with the theory of increasing the acidity of
the vagina which reduces the effectiveness of alkaline semen. Two challenges
should be noted with this. First, the mechanical challenge of timing; the speed
with which the sperm passes through the vagina vis a vis how long it will take
the lime to alter the acidity of the vagina. Secondly, this is just a theory
which has no experimental back up.
3.
Drinking of Schweppes, bitter
lemon etc might also follow the lime theory above.
4.
There was a report of a girl
that inserted Irish potato into her vagina as a contraceptive, claiming she was
advised by her mother. On this issue I’ll say “na wa o”.
5.
There have been cases in the
1950s of women using coke to douche after sexual intercourse. A Harvard medical
school’s experiment proved that diet coke completely killed sperm in the
laboratory but researchers have not been able to verify this.
6.
Before and during the world
war, women drank the water used by blacksmiths to cool hot metals as a
contraceptive. A dangerous method that has been thought to lead to neurological
problems, kidney failure, coma etc
7.
Crocodile faeces were inserted
into the vagina by some northern African countries hoping it will kill the
sperm.
8.
In South Asia and Southeast
Asia, men were advised to eat seeds of pawpaw which should help reduce sperm
count to zero. I don’t know of any experiment that proves this but there is
information that the process is reversible by just stopping the intake of
pawpaw seeds. My take on this is that if this really works how come China which
is in Asia has more population than Africa. Are the pawpaw seeds not enough?
9.
Pig’s intestine were the first
form of condoms, maybe sausage making brought the idea. In ancient times, it
came with a manual suggesting soaking in milk for optimal use. Imagine a condom
with manual
If you have any weird or crazy
contraceptive idea kindly drop it here.
