Cooked Crack Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Quote A groundbreaking form of male contraception which uses a kind of “testicle bath” to prevent pregnancy has been unveiled in Germany. Rebecca Weiss, an industrial design graduate from the University of Munich, took out the top prize at Germany’s James Dyson Awards for the ultrasound-based contraception for men. Named COSO, the device uses ultrasound deep heat to cause sperm mobility in the testicles to be modified and temporarily cease. It means the female egg cannot be fertilised by sperm during sex, with users simply needing to use the device every few months for the contraception to take effect. Quote The hormone free and reversible contraception, which involves putting the testicles inside an ultrasonic ‘bath’, must be used for the first time under doctor’s supervision and takes two weeks to take effect. COSO’s contraceptive effects last a maximum of six months from the last time of use. Quote But, according to the Australian Academy of Science, “the primary barrier in the development of a male contraceptive is the fact that pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to invest in developing a product that they see as low profit and potentially high risk”. Ms Weiss said she now hopes to get funding so that clinical trials can take place. “COSO offers a user-friendly contraceptive method that is easy to use, without any physical intervention, pain or any known side effects,” she said. “But without valid data, the project cannot be realised.” Winning the German division of the James Dyson Award saw Ms Weiss awarded $3690 in prize money. COSO was also chosen as one of 20 short-listed finalists who are now in the running for $55,358 which will be given to an international winner of the James Dyson Award. The winner will be chosen by James Dyson personally and announced on November 17. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/relationships/sex/male-contraceptive-bath-device-wins-dyson-award/news-story/8a0e4cbc6a80dad774ac9331ee56430a Spicy graphic (and language) Spoiler If this thing works I imagine it will only be for couples. Can't imagine a single guy telling a lady he doesn't need a condom because the ultrasonic waves have him shooting blanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sisko Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I’m assuming it received the Dyson award because it doesn’t lose suction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
