Wet Heat Contraception

Dr. Voegeli was the man who taught the wet heat contraception method to Indian men during famines. His method of natural contraception though little controversial, gained much momentum and even today there are such practices that can give you guaranteed results without necessity of gulping any tablets or pills.

No wonder people were in love with this contraceptive method because of its natural formulation and result-oriented aptness. According to Voegeli, the man sits in hot water bath of 116 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes per day for 3 weeks. After this it was evident that he is sterile for the next six months. If one wants to continue the method, he can do so by increasing the duration of wet heat application. It was also evident that after this method of contraception, normal fertility resulted after 6 weeks unless the man wants to enhance the period of contraception.

Many researches have been carried out in this area and also many are still going on in different parts of United States and the rest of the world. Instead pf hot water, heat packs or heating pads are used. Even with these newer methods, the sperm count bounces back quite effectively after stopping the earlier wet heat method, unless they are active smokers that encountered problems later.

But there are scientists who believe that the wet heat method to be effective and reliable as contraceptive, higher temperatures may have to be used and therefore, this cannot be recommended on regular basis to all people. However, for those people who loathe other methods of contraception and have limitations in trying out other options, this may be one of the only ways for maintaining control over their fertility.
