The World's Most Important Petroleum Product

Unread postby Kod » Sat 03 Jun 2006, 13:27:55

Condoms.

What will happen to the price of condoms post-peak? How expensive do they need to get before poor people stop buying them? Will other contraceptives take over? What will this mean for our global population??

Here's a spectre scarier than peak oil: Peak Condoms! :?

Condoms have been around since ancient times and until modern times condoms were made from pig intestine.

"We didn't have advanced anti-contraceptual techniques back in my day- like pulling out." Damn, I can't remember what that's from. Anybody?

In days of olde
When Knights were bolde
And rubbers weren't invented,
One slipped a sock
Around one's c***
And babies were prevented

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Laughs_Last', 'M')y wife and I have been using Fertility Awareness Method for 3 1/2 years. No kids yet. Plus, it is free.


This was the method promoted to the mass workers during the 18th and 19th centuries by the Church in England. Shortly after Darwin premised that if everyone undertook this method to reduce their number of offspring that the only people having loads of children would be those those wifes had irregular and changing cycles. This would then be promoted througout the population until every women had such and this method of birth control was rendered useless. Don't you just love nature...not.

The “Fertility Awareness Method” wasn’t invented until the 1950's, by Billings. The Church of England and Darwin must have been referring to some pre-scientific folk-lore precursor to the rhythm method.

It was the rhythm method Darwin was referring to.
Whichever way you look at it, this and the fertility awareness method will be least successful with women who are irregular or further suppress signs of ovulation etc. and this trait would therefore be promoted throughout the population.
