Trota of Salerno, one of the few female physicians in the twelfth century, had a pretty savage prescription for keeping pregnancy at bay. She recommended cutting off the testicles of a male weasel and releasing it back into the wild. Then, wrapping the testicles in goose skin, and wearing them around your neck. I definitely think having a shriveled pair of nuts around your neck would make the guys give you a wide berth, and prevent any activities that remotely led to pregnancy. An effective contraceptive indeed!
