Enfektious said:I saw a documentary on that once. These men in Britain would soak their testicles in some very, very hot water, thus killing all live semen. Then they would go out and have a good time. Out of the control group of men that participated I think the success rate (non-pregancy) was relatively high. I forget the actual numbers behind this. I think it was a couple of days of soaking resulted in a week of infertility.
I just don't know if I could put my "boys" through something like that.
The temperature method
Basal Body Temperature (BBT)
Women using the Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Method identify their fertility by observing their body temperature each morning before beginning any activity.
The body temperature is lower before ovulation and rises slightly to about .2 degrees Celsius or .4 degrees Fahrenheit after ovulation.
Couples who wish to avoid a pregnancy abstain from intercourse from the onset of menses until three days after the woman's basal body temperature has risen, to about .2 degrees Celsius or .4 degrees Fahrenheit, signifying the end of the fertile phase.
Beatlebot said:The temperature method sounds unreliable and labour intensive to me. Also, what happens if the woman becomes ill and the first symptom she has is temperature change? Since many women complain about not remembering to take their pill every day, I don't think too many would be able to pull off this method.
Basically I think it's the same as the pull-out method, not worth the risk.
I like having sex in my life as a relaxing and fun thing to do. I don't want to have to worry if he will pull out in time when I'm trying to enjoy intimacy and have fun.
