What Did People Use for Birth Control Before Condoms and the Pill? 

Yeah so on the topic of sarah's comment right when i start the video through the initial ad segment i'm just getting captions about cow tipping

yeah the subtitles are just mega broken. Please do consider fixing them because i know they mean a lot to a lot of people

your subtitles are from the cow tipping video

Yall really should vet your sponsors a bit more. The general comments consensus is *BRUH*

Today I Found Out Hey the subtitles are wrong. Please fix.

MissTaegirl 😂😂😂

Quite striking, no?

Wyndham Coffman what?! Is he not?? 😮

@@jennyli7749 Oh, okay. I'm kind of guessing this; but in a previous video, he mentioned that he was living in San Francisco. However, I find that his accent has too many hard consonants to be a British accent. It actually sounds more like academic speech, to me.

@@wyndhamcoffman8961 He's definitely british, but he's living in Prague.

This genuinely made me laugh

Yummie 🤣

And I have an even better idea *pulls out sledgehammer from “somewhere “*

Yeah, looks super sketchy

@@N7_Dredgen It's not useless, it's awesome. It *has permission* to accumulate your medical data! I just wonder who had this brainstorm, Facebook or Google.

Who says you had to use it for medical appt with a dr. It’s capabilities to record while phone is asleep, transcribe, categorize and easily share....oh and free. Good enough for me.

@@erins.5420 don't be an idiot, nothing is for free. If you don't know what the product is, it's you.

Me, too!!!

I want to give a like. ... because then it would be the 170th ( even ) like....but ...you're at the 169th like .....( And you know what that means )....so..have an honorary comment instead....have a nice day.

A sausage lining to line your sausage

I'm missing the irony. How is sausage making antithetical to birth control?

@@Ltbird its situational irony. They're making sausage liners but not for the kind of sausage you would expect

@Chris Hamberg yeah I'm sure they did too. That doesn't make not ironic

My hubby is a weegie, gonna have to ask him if he's heard of this!

The Dutch version is "voor het zingen de kerk uit", meaning leaving the church before the singing.

Thumb's up for the Edit comment hahahaha

That was a much needed edit

If you look you will find birth control apps too.

SCSilk An app that records and transcribes conversations? We have officially reached the future :o

Chris H yep!

Have you ever heard of ads

@@coom4286 Yep. The app is selling you to the advertisers.

@@OrenNoah most apps have an option to make ads non personalised.

@@SandhillCrane42 more likely Shakespeare himself

Freddy Marcel-Marcum - Good choice. I can’t believe anyone would use this app.

Freddy Marcel-Marcum Almost all medical records in the US get transcribed in India. So your info ends up there regardless

@@1015SaturdayNight not my VA records😉

@Anessen Medical transcription is an entire industry that requires specific education and certifications. It is not creating audio to text documents. An idiot would imply complete lack of knowledge on a subject. Tread carefully.

This comment aged like milk

Can you explain the irony though?

@@theoffbeatarchive9225 Because a mesoamerican herbal treatment is how the modern birth control pill was made, yet they don't go any historical mesoamerican birth control methods

So the plant originates there and they don’t use it? Or did they use it believing it would help getting pregnant but it did the opposite? I’m being dense I think.

@@theoffbeatarchive9225 The plant originated there, yet Simon (or more accurately, his writer) didn't mention any of their methods in the video. I don't think irony is quite the right word, but I can't really think of a better word either.

I've noticed he often completely forgets natural and native birth control grows everywhere there are humans. Almost like God and his miscarriages aren't the only abortions he plans for.

I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Simon said "hoo-hah".

i wanna see the outtakes where he was giggling

He's used so many euphemisms that its probably old hat by now.

🤣🤣🤣

I love using 'hoo-hah'

Omg seriously.......

Tubmaster 5000 Oooh, yesss.

It's all about our precious bodily fluids.

Dongs, Yep, and I refuse to give them my essence. I have for over 20 years brushed my teeth with baking soda and for a very long time filtered my water. Don’t want that crap. Whenever I go for dental cleaning (not too often) they are amazed at how pink and healthy my gums are considering the time I was last in. Whenever I have brought up the fluoride debate they act like they have no idea what I am talking about. Fun.

Purity of essence.

Wow! Must've been a real challenge to give birth to a fully-formed 30 year-old! 😅

@@WildStar2002 well, all 3 kids came out half grown (just below and above the ten pound mark, each). but the 30 year old's existence shows that the pull and pray doesn't work nearly as well as the pray and abstain. lol

@@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem I had a buddy who was 14lb 6oz. Needless to say he was an only child.

My second child is a “pull and pray” baby. But my husband and I used that method for many many years without conceiving otherwise. We were so happy to welcome that second baby. It was just a little intimidating with a 12 month still on my hip :)

Tara 907 you mean a 1 year old.

My saying is people do peoply things.

Not necessarily. Especially with the addition of the bacteriocidal honey. In addition, the vagina also secretes antibodies, Ig-A, often in doubles, like Oxygen normally comes as diatomic O2. This alpha - globulin is an antibody against bacteria that are introduced into vagina. The vagina flushes out foreign material like the bladder flushes urine. Do not mistake that, though, for the so - called (Balderdash!) mechanism that a woman's body can shut down pregnancy. It can't unless the fertilization process is interrupted. And still, the body has sneaky ways to complete fertilization like sequestering some sperm from an ejaculate for a few days.

B Spicer Yes, they did.

And cunnilingus didn't happen.

I'm not surprised if men were sticking their bits wrapped in dead animal parts in them.

@@ginnyjollykidd okay but what about the lysol douche

Scrolled down to see if anyone else had that epiphany.

Yeah, I always thought it was just a brand of tea I haven't heard of and Kurt liked it for some reason... never actually checked that.

@@user-gd2ys5tu8d I had no idea what pennyroyal is, and just never bothered to check. It could've been a tea brand. Sounded British enough.

Time to learn how to read lips. Tho good luck doing that with Simon's flavor saver.

@@rowynnecrowley1689 I do. Not flawlessly and it's definitely difficult when I can't see the full mouth and sometimes the tongue!

Angela M use the auto generated ones

@@KevinSanscartier I've noticed that some have that option, some don't, and i really never paid much attention to it the difference. I will now! It's not an issue with the computer bc i can tweak the sound output levels to help me with the lips on vids with no cc, but that's good to know for my phone!

I’m hoh as well! I was really confused for a while.

That was the last video...

Good point.

Brian Walendy Thank you for explaining, I was about to get kind of angry. I’m Hoh and it makes me really angry when people mess with the captions on purpose or add in random things to be “funny”

@@alauracollis6520 What's "Hoh"? Never heard of that.

@@okamizer0387 Oh! Thank you! Teehee. I was thinking it was an ethnicity, or something! 🤣

People always find a way don't they? I love history its amazing how creative people in the past were

People back then like lots of kids.

They had bigger families if the woman was lucky enough to survive childbirth.

Bigger families were a response to higher child mortality rates--At least normally, some hyper-religious families may have been following parts of the Bible which promote large families and frown on birth control.

@@chrishakala528 The Bible gives clear, direct guidance on many topics of morality, but not on birth control. Thus, any inferences from the Bible are opinions and not Biblical evidence. That whole idea is man/church made

It's actually spelled pre-cum. But if you're a doctor its pre-ejaculation. And that's your daily message from a health care worker

It took a lot of research, but I finally learned he meant pre-coital fluid. Holyfuk where'd he come up with that one?

@@likebot. I didn't know it was possible for someone not to have ever heard the phrase "pre-cum" in their entire life...

I had a fantasy football league team named “I don’t pull out, but my couch does.” Im a lady. 🤷🏼‍♀️

How do you say it?

@@furlizard probably: Candim, in the US

Rachel B usually pronounced condom in the US but British people say it as if it were two words

Finally some astrology I can get into

@@susan137 that's what a girl's family is for!

I mean to be fair condoms in typical use are not that great either

​@@humzahhassan4521 Which is why gynacologists will tell you that condoms shouldn't be used for birth control unless a baby wouldn't be that big of a deal. Condoms are the only method to prevent STDs, but we have way more reliable methods of birth control today.

Me and my husband have been using pull out and calendar for 10 years and not one slip up. 👌 He calls himself the pull out champ, lol. Hashtag team no babies!

"I'm nothing like my father!!!"

Aim for the center of the Death Star. Then pull up immediately.

Awesome thread😂😂😂

"I'm about to fire. I'm thinking about when I used shoot swamp rats around 13." ~ Luke "Luke you sure were a weird kid..." ~ Han

Luis Santiago i think they were sheep intestine. They were reusable too 🤢

I heard that it was the Welsh who first used sheep intestines for birth control, but it was the English who thought of removing the intestine first.

@@maggiee639 oh is it intestines? I knew it was a sheep part. Been ages since I heard the fact. The reusable part is definitely disgusting

Huey Iroquois As soon as I saw Welsh, I was thinking about making a sheep herder joke, and then I finished reading your comment and realized you already made one.

They were banging sheep

I actually understood that reference

THEY SHOULD PUT IT BIGGER

Collecter137 That’s a reference? To what?

Friends

They do.

He did say for normal people it was more like 81 vs 83% effective instead of perfect use which was 96 vs 98%. Seems like no matter what happens condoms are only slightly better than just stopping before you cum. I've also heard this from other sources so I'm pretty sure it's correct.

cmck the problem isn't the hard facts (which can vary greatly from country to country and not every watcher here is american or english, ie me, a brazilian, so that 20%-ish rate might be higher or lower depending on the place where the info was collected), its the way they're presented. If you say this like "oh, the % difference is minimal", people might be more willing to use the pull-out method, especially those that dislike the feel of condoms. Which in turn will raise the % of people using them. Which in turn will make those 20%-ish people mean MORE people. 20% of every 1000 is something, 20% of every 100 is a LOT more people. It's a method that should absolutely not be portrayed as something people should be enticed to use, even if it has a 80%-success rate as a contraceptive. Especially because condoms protect from far more than just unwanted pregnancies- many STDs can be transmitted... well, sexually, including asymptomatic ones that raise your chance for cancer, especially on women. More than that, in countries like my Brazil or India or Mexico there are a LOT more cases of STDs than in developed countries like in America or Europe, so we'd be leaving a much higher percentage of the population at risk of those! Here the simple condoms are FREE, people can just get 'em on the public healthcare system, as many as they want. It'd suck to have that available and get people still choosing the pull-out method because it "feels better" or "because it works almost as well as the condoms!" :c between two free/easy access methods to avoid pregnancies, shouldn't we work on getting people to use the one that works better? Even if it's just 2% better? That's 2% less people who end up pregnant! So yea, TL;DR: even if it DOES have a very minimal % change between that and a condom, you shouldn't present it in a way that might be interesting for others. First because even if we take that % as true for the whole world, a 20%-ish rate is still a HELLA HIGH RATE of unwanted pregnancies considering the world's population (we consider as "low" things like 1% and less! Even 3% depending on what you're talking about is SUPER HIGH!). Second because if people go for it, that 20%-ish will mean MORE people using it, thus more unwanted pregnancies. And third, STDs and higher cancer risk. You just have to be careful with the way you're presenting information, y'know? :) that's why it bothered me!

@@akiriith You can't shit talk pull out because it's around 80% effective for average people then completely ignore that condoms are also around 80%. It feels like you're trying to only highlight that best use percent with condoms while purposely using the average percent for pull out. It just feels like you're trying to be biased. It's a 2% difference either way. Is that something to gamble on. I'd say yes. You don't try to completely eliminate risk. Just manage it. As far as stds go I'm disregarding them. I'm making the assumption that you'd be in a relationship so you're both clean or you've both already caught what the other has. I guess for you they're more of a concern than for me. You have more stds where you are, but free condoms. I have less stds, but have to buy them.

Well, lying down after ejaculation is supposed to increase the chances, so standing up (or jumping) technically reduces the chances:P
