Sex: Australian Style http://abcnews.go.com/wir...9_714.html
Reuters Oct. 9
— CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australian scientists believe they have rediscovered an effective use for lemon juice -- as a contraceptive and also a killer of the AIDS virus. Reproductive physiologist Roger Short, from the University of Melbourne's obstetrics department, said a few drops of lemon juice can be a cheap, easy-to-use solution to protect women from both HIV and pregnancy. The juice should be squeezed onto a piece of sponge or cotton wool and placed into the vagina before sex, he said. "We can show in the lab that lemon juice is very effective in immobilizing human sperm and also very effective in killing HIV," Short told Australian Broadcasting Corp television in a science program to be shown later on Thursday. He said lime juice, which has similar acid levels, can also be used, with both fruits often freely available in poor countries where contraception is hard to come by. Short said laboratory tests found not only does lemon juice kill sperm, it also kills the AIDS virus itself. Short said using lemon juice as a contraceptive was not a new idea but it had fallen by the wayside over the years. The ancient douche-style contraceptive was encouraged by such luminaries as Casanova, renowned for his sexual prowess. "This has been used for hundreds of years and we've just forgotten about it," said Short, who is planning to conduct some field trials in Thailand. "About 300 years ago, Mediterranean women used lemon juice as their main method of contraception." Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet, But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.

Bloody Aussie scientists!
Don't believe a word of this. I tried this method and all I ended up with was 2 children with bleached blonde hair. The good news is that my wife now has the tangiest pie. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

I'm just surprised something such as lemon juice (or lime juice) would kill that virus. But then again, I think there are many things potentially right under our noses that would deter and/or cure diseases. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I would imagine that would burn. I know that handeling a lemon when u have a cut on ur hand, u get that same burning sensation. It would be like rubbing Vapor Rub down south.
And how would u get the cotton out? I just have to many questions on this topic. If anyone trys this let me know how it feels maybe Prince knew this when he wrote "Lemon Crush". It brings new meaning to the phrase "Sour Puss" . "You can judge a man's character by the way he treats those who cannot do anything for him" Anonymous | |
