I believe the Ancient Greeks used copious amounts of olive oil.

PIggybacking off the ancient lube question, what are some examples of historical/ancient contraceptives? I know there were some plants that were purported to work, but I can't remember what they are. Hemlock? Or am I really mixing things up badly here?

I want to say the ancient Egyptians used crocodile dung as a cervical cap or something but I could easily be mistaken there. Edit: Allegedly a Coca Cola douche was a thing immediately post sex to kill sperm. (Brain now shouting that's something I read on Snopes.com).

Are you talking an actual contraceptive plant, or an abortion plant?

IIRC (and I am not an ethnobotanist) several of the proposed Silphium candidates are high in phytoestrogens so it's not completely impossible that a tea made from concentrated resin might have abortifacent or contraceptive properties

In general it’s not like it is in fantasy novels. “Abortion drugs” were pretty much just taking various poisons and hoping you got the dose right that it hosed you up so bad you didn’t quite die.

There was a lot of usage of herbs (such as pennyroyal and rue) as abortifacients, and a whole bunch of those are liable to gently caress your poo poo up if you get the dosage wrong. There's also evidence of pessaries made of all everything from resin, to various plant matter, to crocodile dung. The pull-out method was also very popular basically worldwide. Silphium is a bit up in the air, since we don't know what it actually was and it miiiiight be extinct. That and they attributed basically every medical use under the sun to it at some point. It might have had some contraceptive or abortifacient properties to it, might not have. We don't even really know why it potentially went extinct, and it was most likely a combination of factors like overharvesting and desertification.

There's a lot where we know something was done, but not why. It's often a mix of folk magic, ritual magic, pattern recognition with certain plants and materials having certain effects, and "Who the gently caress knows why they believed this, but at least some people did."

I mean you don't have to travel into the past to see people imbue their medical practices with superstition and dumb cultural baggage.

homeopathy's purported efficacy stems from the fact that 'drink some water' had better health outcomes than the mainstream medical treatments of its day, like eating antimony or bloodletting

The combo of pre-scientific method and only loose regulation of medical practice bred all sorts of horrors; scammers retain and use the language of that period now to attack "allopathic" and "heroic" medicine and equivocate with their own bullshit.

D-Pad posted:So recently I have occasionally had this thing where I will ejaculate a decent amount without an orgasm and then have a normal orgasm with a normal amount of ejaculate about a minute later. This is not pre-ejaculate it's the real stuff and it shoots out the same and everything. I've only noticed it during masturbation but it could be happening during sex without me noticing. It's kind of annoying because it will happen with no warning without me being prepared for cleanup and I haven't finished and don't want to stop. It doesn't cause me to lose my erection or interfere with my ability to keep going to orgasm but nonetheless annoying. I'm not sure anybody cares but this has progressed some. Basically about 75% of the time I shoot two full loads. The first one there is no orgasm/pleasure and I don't enter a refractory period and the second one is a normal orgasm. It's weird and I don't know how I'm even producing so much. My doctor basically shrugged as all my blood work etc is fine and I have no other symptoms or any kind of sexual dysfunction.

I don’t really want to post a “and then I stood up and clapped” story about guys I’ve dated, but to reassure you, tl;dr this appears to be a thing and I wouldn’t worry. I guess you can DM if you want more details if that would be helpful somehow? You’re right about premature ejaculation, btw, this isn’t that. “Male multiple orgasms” (even though it’s technically ejaculation without orgasming) might give you more info Anne Whateley fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Oct 21, 2025 |

Instead it's just a really big mess I don't want to clean up because I don't want to stop and clean until I've actually had the second one that is an orgasm.

How long are your, ah... "intermissions" - is it fairly quick or are you basically starting all over after the first one? Does your sensitivity change afterwards or is it like nothing happened at all except the mess? Given that it's a purely autonomous reaction that we can, at best, control the circumstances under which it's triggered, it's amazing that orgasms are as consistent across individuals as they are. This might just be the way your body functions right now, which could change with other circumstances.

Does your sensitivity change afterwards or is it like nothing happened at all except the mess? Anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes. It's like nothing happened at all. The other annoying thing is there is no feeling of buildup like with an orgasm so I can't anticipate it's about to happen it just suddenly shoots.

like with any kink, you could probably poll a dozen different people who are into the same stuff/consume or purchase the same content/are similarly active in their particular “scene” etc, and get a dozen wildly different and divergent answers that go down wildly different rabbit holes in terms of their internal lives and personal histories and whatnot
