...and I'm sure various fetishists are setting up websites about it all over the place...

This kind of piques my interest, from a birth control point of view of course. I was planning on getting a vasectomy next month.

God, imagine what could go wrong if it's defective. No one wants to be the guy who set his nutsac on fire with the Serbian ball shocker.

Is this the first commercialization of Dick Cheney's research into modern interrogation techniques?

Or is it destined to be one of the lies for a new millenium:

1) I'm from the Bush Administration and I care about human rights

2) Judge Alito won't overturn Roe v. Wade

3) Yes, of course I put fresh batteries in...

I am not sure i believe it works. i had thought the body makes millions of sperm a day. yea, so some are asleep. well, will the new ones being made also be asleep??

Your body is always producing new sperm, but the process is fairly long. The immature cells mature into functional sperm in the epididymis, a structure on the outside of the testes, then move to the vas deferens tubes. As I remember it, it takes something like 5-10 days for the cells to travel through the epididymis during maturation. What I see as problematic is that live sperm are all along the vas deferens. The vas def are fairly long, they connect to the epididymis in your testes, and loop up over your bladder to go into the base of the penis, so I don't see how the shock would disable the sperm that are already in the vas deferens. Maybe you can't give up your other birth control untill you've been on a regular shock schedule for a while.

I imagine that the pain involved would be comparable to a Depo shot (once-a-month injected birth control for women). The problem of sperm in the vas deferens could be solved by jacking off once or twice after getting shocked, before having sex.

I think this would be good to use along with the Pill; it would vastly cut the numbers of unwanted pregnancies due to birth control failure. 'Cause even if the pill has one of its 1% failure rate times, the sperm would be stunned.

It is unlikely to set anyone on fire, as that would take a significantly larger amount of power to raise the temperature of the flesh that much. And if it were anywhere close to that it would be too painful to use.

Comparable to a Depo shot? Jesus, it had better not be like pushing a needle into my scrotum. That's bad times. ;)

For the fire risk, I was thinking more along the lines of a stray spark on a really hairy dude might have serious consequences. Time to shave for safety's sake. I kid, I kid.

God we need better birth control. The men's optons are condoms(which I detest), cutting into my sack and snipping some things, and now shocking my balls on a regular basis. And I think the men have it better.

The surgical option for women is much more invasive. My wife tried an IUD for a while, but the cramps and bleeding were awful for her. Lately it's looking like the patch increases risks for blood clot and strokes. The Depo shot is horrible on bone, not to mention it tends to kill the libido right off.

That vasectomy is sounding downright appealing.

Just imagine the poor kid who doesn't want to buy the portable version and tries to make his own home version. Jumper cables anyone?

I bet that thing has some nasty failure modes. Third degree burns to the nuts are, however, a very effective form of birth control.

It also seems to me that sweat could potentially short the electrodes so that the current flows through the skin instead of the nads. I know I'd be sweaty if some guy was hooking electrodes to my wabblies.

A more effective method would be inserting something into the vas deferens that interferes with sperm motility. It might even be as simple as a little copper spring. Putting it in would mean spelunking the urethra, but I've had that done for kidney stones, and it only hurts for a couple of days.

Wow, I knew that men hated condoms, but I didn't know they hated them so much they'd rather get their cajones toasted.

You are funny Marie.

dang, i hate condoms... i might just cannibalize an extension cord and try to do this all DIY... lol...

So who the hell were the test subjects for this process?

Just a quick correction, Kyra... the depo is only every three months :)
I thought it hurt like hell, but only for a minute or so. The area was tender for a couple days afterward, but nothing that bad. I can't imagine it being equivalent to sending electric shocks through one of the most sensitive parts of the male body. I mean the shot is given in the hips/buttocks, which is one of the fattier parts of the body. But I only had the depo once.... I hated being on it and never got my next shot. More power to any guy who wants to do this, though! I know my husband freaks out about the idea of a vasectomy, I can't imagine him being ok with shoking his balls! I can't picture any situation where I would actually ask him to do that, though.

there is not way my husband would every do this. This has to be the craziest thing to do. There is no need to do this.
