Recommended Posts

So I am taking an advanced pharmacology class and last weeks lecture was on contraception (got a quiz on Friday). So some interesting points on what people did in the olden days for contraception purposes and preventing pregnancy:

-Held breath at time of ejaculation

-swallow 16 tadpoles fried in quicksilver (mercury)

-woman is to jump backwards 7 times after intercourse

-women spat 3 times into the mouth of a frog

-women ate bees after intercourse

 

The more you know.......

not really contraception but I know an ancient pregnancy test was to insert a slice of onion into your vagina and if your breath smelled of onion supposedly you were pregnant
