Birth control can be a hassle, but as a review of the history of contraception reveals, modern methods do not hold a candle to the hoops that people use to jump through in order to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Gentlemen, you never complained of office, as a film US government instructed the soldiers during the Second World War, "put it on before placing it in"? Perhaps you prefer a condom with fish or intestine of animals tied with a ribbon, as those employed in the 1600s you could store in a box by the bed to reuse again and again! Oh, but if you take the contents of that enclosure when sneak to visit a prostitute possibly pox- or clap-mounted, just remember: while the sperm can not pass through the pores of an animal intestine, the virus can. (At least you would be saving women from having to chug mercury, a method of last resort from 17 to terminate an unwanted pregnancy century.)
And ladies, disgusted by the notion of protecting the cervix with animal excrement? Try some fruit instead: a recipe 1550 BC for a vaginal suppository included fruit acacia, which has been shown to prevent pregnancy in laboratory mice is that when you eat the seeds. And in the 18th century, Casanova formed a cervical cap pulping medium lemon (perhaps to avoid responsibility for child support), and the combination lock and acidity made this a very effective method.
On second thought, you might prefer an oral contraceptive. Start with the first recipe, from ancient Egypt, but beware: before drinking the oil mixture, celery and beer, papyrus instructs each woman to yowch "fumigate her vagina with seeds Emmer.". Do not let that put you off charred odor in rats, celery extract ended a third of pregnancies. But the low success rate of celery could not hold a candle to the silphium plant, whose popularity as a contraceptive classical Greek and Roman drove it to extinction. Modern testing has revealed that other herbs and recommended by ancient authors such as cow parsnip and wild yam root called Barbasco, plants contain chemicals that can affect hormone levels. Of course, not all oral contraceptives had to contain vegetable materials indigenous women in New Brunswick tea prepared today outside the testes beaver preserved, which could have provided androgens to influence their hormonal balance and reduce fertility.
