Serbs line up for testicle shocks

[emad]

Men in Serbia are lining up to have electric shocks delivered to their testicles as part of a new contraceptive treatment.

Serbian fertility expert Dr Sava Bojovic, who runs one of the clinics offering the service, said the small electric shock makes men temporarily infertile by stunning their sperm into a state of immobility.

He said: "We attach electrodes to either side of the testicles and send low electricity currents flowing through them.

"This stuns the sperm, effectively putting them to sleep for up to 10 days, which means couples can have sex without fear of getting pregnant.

DID'T Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Fidel Castro etc try similar methods on their captive audiences?

3. Wow -- I've Got To Open A Clinic In New York City

It sounds like the kind of thing a lot of guys would try. I could be a nut-zapping tycoon!

4. i don't know what guys you hang out with...

But I cant think of anyone who'd opt for electrodes over condoms.

6. No kidding. I'll take a pass.

8. If it was safe and had no long-term side effects why not?

The pill has all sorts of side effects for many women; yet they are expected to take them to avoid pregnancy.

Surely, we men are willing to undergo slight discomfort for a few moments so that we won't father children. Assuming it wasn't to uncomfortable, I would take a quick bolt in the nads over a condom any day.

Again, I'm assuming that the above therapy is safe and has no long-term side effects.

IMHO, shock-therapy to prevent pregnancy is medical quackery.

5. When I read the headline, thought 'twas a home remedy to increase fert.

Since the Serbs have such a low birthrate and they are paranoid of the Albanian birthrate taking over. Wow with, birth control methods like this, no wonder!

7. Sharper Image could be selling it before you know it...

"Dr Bojovic added patients were now lining up at his fertility clinic in Novi Banovci for the shock treatment, as it had none of the problems attached to using condoms, the male pill or having a vasectomy.

He added: "We are hoping to have a small battery powered version on sale in the shops in time for Xmas."

15. You can do the same with a TENS unit.

There are buttplug and vaginal electrodes for sale on Ebay.

Cheap entertainment.

18. Are those the vibrating ones?

n/t..

19. They send impulses of electric current

can be adjusted for frequency and power. Can be painful if turned up too high, but then, what's a little pain when you're having fun?

9. The Mexican Secret Service

Hangs you upside down with your head in a bucket of water and connects one side of a 220 line to the bucket and the other to your testicles.

After that, you don't even want to have sex.

12. So does a well-known brothel around the corner from the Houses

of Parliament in London....

11. Anyone want to

Recommend this method for a Darwin Award? Sort of reminds me of the baptist preacher standing in the baptistery who adjusted the microphone.......and electrocuted himself. No word of other injuries.

(No, that's not a joke.)

[Nihil]

20. Damn! That's let Rumsfeld off the hook again !

"We were just trying to provide contraception to the Iraqis!"

[Ediacara]

21. So... is there a condom shortage in Serbia?

:wtf:

[mongo]

22. A little kick for the nighttime crowd

You never know who might get a jolt out of this...

Or find it shocking...

Or find it a spark of hope for women who can't tolerate the pill...
