You'd think the smell of the crocodile dung would be a passion-killer, or maybe egyptians of the time smelled things like that often enough it wouldn't bother them? Also, desperately trying here not to make the obvious joke about Soranus' name in a video about birth control. (Sorry.)

The dung still confuses me, but hey... whatever helped right?! Also haha I'm loving that people in the comments are continuing to find jokes that I missed!

Love the video! The effectiveness of some of the plant solutions on mice makes me wonder if ancient peoples tested for efficacy on rabbits. It would make sense for it to be the go-to animal for contraceptive experimentation!

Love your channel! 💜 Glad to see someone share the really intresting history with the world 💜

This is a really interesting subject, and one that a lot of people would be afraid to cover out of prudishness. People (especially women) have been navigating this topic for millennia, but not enough has been written down. Well done for making this video, despite the high risk of demonetisation. Also, really impressed by the extensive repertoire of PG-13-rated euphemisms- most people's vocabularies would have come up empty way before 18 minutes.

I think the use of crocodile dung is misunderstood. I think it may have worked something like this: Her: "Hey come over later. I'll be smearing crocodile dung on my 'lady-parts'!" Him: "Ermmm, no thanks. I think I'll be washing my fake beard" 😂

Great video and congrats to your cousin! Also, KZread put an ED commercial at the beginning which was HYSTERICAL! 😆

And... being famous on the You-Tubes has to help your chances greatly, right? I'm pretty sure that's one thing fame, in any form, is reliable for. Seriously, your vids are great. Please keep producing this awesome content. Also, I agree that the Harappan civilization was the best of the ancient world. But, you didn't mention in the video that they came up with the design of dice we all know and use still today!

What about non-procreative sex as a form of birth control? Moche pottery seems to indicate it was popular in at least one part of the world (Ancient Peru). I mean it would be much easier (and safer) than all of the mentioned kitchen recipies.

That was worth watching if only for your imaginative use of euphemisms.

Just discussing "crocodile dung" would appear to be effective birth control in and of itself...in a "cool your jets" kind of way. Once on a road trip with some females I thought I might have gotten pregnant...but they said washing underwear together doesn't cause that. Sooo...I'm guessing your cousin MUST have gotten the cell number of The Stork? Cute sneeze by the way. Psst! Raven? Did you know you are blushing. Noticeably? Also cute. (Don't worry. I won't tell anybody.)

I though the population fluctuations in ancient times would be mostly due to Malthusian pressure. When more food can be grown then population would increase. Population would decline when less food can be grown such as due to drought or cooling climate. When there wasn’t enough food around... you get Hansel and Gretel situations.

@jacobvardy

3 жыл бұрын

Not so much Hansel and Gretel but infanticide was fairly common. Newborns would be abandoned would be abandoned somewhere where no one could hear them. Think all those Greek myths of unwanted princes being exposed to the elements. I can't speak to everywhere but i know the local First Nation, the Gadigal had successful enough reproductive control that they rarely faced food shortages. I strongly suspect that "Malthusian pressure" was rarely ever a thing anywhere. Thomas Malthus was writing to get rid of public welfare and to keep grain tariffs that favoured the rich.

I’m not sure about the English word for them, but i think they are what we in danish call ‘kridtpiber’ (the direct translation would be something like ‘chalk pipes’) which were very common a couple of hundred years ago (at least then, I’m not too sure about the exact period of use). In denmark they are one of the most common founds, especially when digging in the city or other heavily populated areas, as they where shared, by cracking off the tip (where the mouth goes) which meant they had a very shot lifetime (thus making them something that was brought fairly often, making the amount thrown out very high and therefore something that is relatively easy to find now.) I know you’re probably just joking but thought I would explain in case anyone else was wondering what they are.☺️

Take a drink whenever a euphemism for sex or genitals is used =p This video shows how some people in the past just couldn't help entering the bone zone (that sounds like it's archaeology related but y'all know what I mean).

Haha I’d say about half of my research time was on this very matter 😉

Contraception probably decreased infant mortality too. I've been doing my genealogy and seeing huge families in the 1800s with high infant and child mortality rates. In the early 1900s, the family sizes dropped dramatically, and so did infant and child mortality. This is just within my own family tree, but it seems logical that having fewer children means having healthier children.
