Testicular zap 'may stop sperm'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-16756381
A dose of ultrasound to the testicles can stop the production of sperm, according to researchers investigating a new form of contraception.
A study on rats published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology showed that sound waves could be used to reduce sperm counts to levels that would cause infertility in humans.
Researchers described ultrasound as a "promising candidate" in contraception.

When I first saw this headline, I thought that it meant getting Tazered in the bollocks! :eek:
Mind you that would have the same affect!

This is a field I have been pretending to study on the internet for many years.

I find playing the drumbeat from rebecca black's friday at twice normal speed directly onto your testicles with a hammer is pretty effective too.

sounds like a pain in the bollocks.

Sounds like a possible punishment for scumbags.

Is it possible to install this at the counter in the dole office?

If it could prevent the spread of STI's then they'd be onto a winner.

Dipping your 2-veg into this device ('tea-bag style') would have the same effect and would also offer the benefit of giving your sac a good auld clean.

lol if its true we could launch orbital satellites that pulse out ultrasound waves onto countries with huge populations such as china (1.3+ bil) or india (1.2+ bil)

also it could be used in 3rd world countries to reduce the starvation issues.

If the CIA had weaponised this already they wouldn't need to be pumping AIDS and Crack-cocaine into ghettos.

Duh!

You could always tell her to get down there and try and sing scales until she hits the right frequency to quell the squidies. Then pow, right in the kisser!

Actually, is anyone else thinking of command and conquer? The small little sperm going off to attack, and the laser tower goes "pew pew" and no more Mr. WrigglyBum

Could think of a few places in the first world as well!

This technology works. It's why males can't get women pregnant for the first 12-13 years of their lives. Damn prenatal ultrasound scans!
