1. Musk. It is said that putting musk into the navel of prostitutes can prevent pregnancy. For example, the two sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, who are regarded as the most "famous women" in China, have recorded using such contraceptive measures. Of course, the two sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede cannot be called prostitutes, but they have the same goal. This kind of belly button sticking is called "belly sticking". By sticking it on the belly button, the fertilizing function of a woman's belly can be terminated, and she will no longer be able to get pregnant. However, this "belly patch" has been lost. How did ancient women use contraception? It's so cruel that people are stunned and don't even want to try it!
2. The ancient Chinese used silk oil paper or rags to put into women's bodies as a barrier, while the ancient Egyptians used wool and cotton balls to implant into women's bodies to prevent pregnancy. Because this kind of thing can cause harm to both men and women, people slowly discovered that fish bladders can be used for contraception, and Westerners used sheep intestines, so that men and women would not be harmed and could prevent pregnancy. Slowly, this method was improved and invented Got a condom!
3. Saffron. In ancient times, if a maid was favored by the emperor, but the emperor did not want the woman to get pregnant, the eunuch would hang the maid upside down and wash her lower body with saffron liquid. It is said that this can be an effective contraceptive. In modern times, we can still see a bowl of deep red decoction, that is saffron, appearing in some palace dramas.
4. Animal feces. In India and Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, the feces of animals that were considered to have mysterious powers, such as crocodiles and elephants, were also used in contraceptive prescriptions. In fact, because these animals' feces are highly acidic, it does have some spermicidal effects. However, Goldhead said the strong odor of animal excrement would clearly have swayed the interest of ancient couples.
5. Mercury. People in the Tang Dynasty were crazy about contraception. They took a decoction called "Wu Du Powder" to prevent pregnancy. It contained mercury, arsenic and other poisons that could poison the fetus, but it is important. What's more, it is possible to poison oneself and cause lifelong infertility, so basically only dedicated prostitutes of the Tang Dynasty would take it.
6. Fish maws. In the display section of the museum, there are condoms made by ancient people from sheep intestines, and fish bladders were also used as condoms. It is conceivable that because of the different sizes of men's bladders, it is difficult to find one. Suitable fish fat is not easy.
7. Massage, there are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem. As the supreme power of the emperor, he will tell the eunuch whether to stay or not to stay in the harem. If the emperor says not to stay, the eunuch will become a concubine. The lower body of the concubine was massaged to ensure that the emperor's semen could not stay in the woman's body. This method of massaging the concubine's lower body to make the semen flow out was the "Yu Ting" after intercourse in the ancient palace.
