tatsuya_suou_sa Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 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.......
