Ancient contraceptive methods
1, abstinence
This is the safest and most effective method of contraceptive. I don’t accept suggestions! Compared with other methods, using abstinence method can be said to be the safest. Ancient Rome writer Pliny once mentioned in his book that he advocates to avoid unexpected pregnancy through abstinence to the majority of readers. In the medieval European Catholic Church, it also strictly restricted the sexual behavior of believers, requiring believers to neither do anything during the day nor do whatever they want on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. How about the method
? If it doesn’t work, I will castrate myself!
2, Musk
0 Use drugs to avoid unexpected suspicion, which can be said to be the most common method in ancient times. I believe everyone has also heard of musk when watching palace dramas. This was also very popular as a contraceptive drug at that time. The way to use musk as a drug to avoid accidental pregnancy is also very simple. Using musk as raw material can make a "tummy patch". Applying it to the navel is said to destroy a woman's conception function. According to legend, the two sisters, Zhao Feiyan, , Zhao Hede, , used this kind of contraceptive measure, but the specific formula of this belly patch has been lost, and it is impossible to verify whether it is true or false.
However, this substance is very harmful. It can be imagined how much is harmful to women's bodies. In ancient times, medical conditions were underdeveloped, and people had poor physical conditions and short lifespan, because there were many women who died of miscarriage.
3, saffron
As a secret recipe for contraception in the court, there are still records among the people. According to legend, if an ancient emperor favored a palace maid but did not want the palace maid to give birth to his own dragon seed, he would order the eunuch to hang the palace maid upside down and use saffron liquid to clean the palace maid's lower body. It is said that this would destroy the wish of the palace maid's mother to be noble by her son.
There are also rumors that when the emperor favored his concubines in the past, if the emperor said he would not stay, the eunuch would give the concubine massage to ensure that the dragon seed would not stay in the concubine's body, thereby achieving the effect of contraception.
4, animal intestines
If there were condoms in ancient times, then the intestines of animals would be considered the earliest condoms.
In the movie " Martial Arts ", the wife played by Tang Wei is scrubbing something hard under the dim candlelight. The camera closer shows that it was some fish maw . If it weren't for this issue, I would definitely think I was preparing the meal for the next day at home!
Archaeological discovery that in addition to using fish bladder, the ancients also supported the intestines of sheep and pigs, sewing a section closely together with thread, and the other end was an opening, and they could also adjust the size by themselves.
