Here are the next forms of contraception under attack.... Once again, this is from "Hormones From Hell" by Jan King FOAM In order to be effective, contraceptive foam has to be used in the same quantities it would take to cover a runway for an emergency landing of a Boeing 747. One of the biggest drawbacks of foam is that swimming is prohibited for 24 hours after application, because the user now has the dangerous potential of acting as a giant Alka-Seltzer tablet. JELLIES Similar to the principle of foam, this stuff can be far more hazardous to both sexes. If left in place too long, it can "set-up," with the potential of becoming harder than rock. Then, when attempting any further sexual activity, penetration will be almost impossible unless the male uses a condom with a tiny miner's hemlmet on the end. And he must be made aware of the very real possibility of suffering mutilation in a mine shaft collapse. THE SPONGE This is a new and unique idea in contraceptive items. It is small, compact, and has earned millions for the O-Cello company. Appearing to be the safest porduct to come along in years, it does have one side effect - not dangerous, but annoying. Once it's in place, the wearer is cautioned that upon entering the bathtub, the water level will become drastically reduced. Head injury must also be mentioned as a rare, but possible side effect from making sudden moves while wearing the sponge. For example, carelessly flopping into a chair might create a "rebound" effect, catapulting the unsuspecting female into the ceiling. THE PILL Who needs it? The package alone contains more warnings than were issued at the Iran/Contra Hearings. Some of the possible side effects include stroke, heart attack, cancer, unwanted pregnancy, and divorce. Plus, if you smoke, the incidences are all doubled. If you smoke and drink - triple it. If you smoke, drink, and have sex - forget it! You won't live long enough to finish out the package. Expert medical advice tells us that Russian Roulette gives better odds. CONDOMS The first complaint about this birth control product comes from the female sector of the population. We think manufacturers need to design a package that takes less time to open. While all men still cling to the story that they can last for an entire evening, most of them can't even last until they get the package open. The second complaint is from the men who are concerned about the expiration date stamped on a box of condoms. They all say the same thing: "Who needs this kind of pressure?" THE RYTHM METHOD This rarely works. And unless you are doing it with Bobby Brown in the room, forget it. CELIBACY It is a scientific fact taht any organ which is not used regularly will eventually atrophy. For example, an idle brain will show signs of a lowered IQ; leg muscels rendered immobile by a cast will develop withered muscles, and teeth not subjected to the constant grinding of food will fall out. And an unused sex organ will do all of the above - and in the same order! This poses a double tragedy for some men, too, since their brains are reputedly located in the sex organs. So we all need to heed to the old saying, "Use it or lose it." The good news is that there IS one completely safe, painless, and trouble-free birth control solution available to 100% of the women everywhere. It's called VASECTOMY - and we're all for it! Hehehehe Enjoi, Dee
