Serbs line up for testicle shocks

Courtesy of The Curt Jester:
Men in Serbia are lining up to have electric shocks delivered to their testicles as part of a new contraceptive treatment.

Serbian fertility expert Dr Sava Bojovic, who runs one of the clinics offering the service, said the small electric shock makes men temporarily infertile by stunning their sperm into a state of immobility.

He said: "We attach electrodes to either side of the testicles and send low electricity currents flowing through them

[…]He added: "We are hoping to have a small battery powered version on sale in the shops in time for Xmas." [Source]

This sounds more like some form of medieval penance or Roman torture than anything that could become popular - like something you'd see written about the Blessed Theophobos, Martyr of the Holy Bug-Zapper.

And NO, I do not want one for Christmas! Send me that and I will buy your children the first volume of an encyclopedia – or a pet ferret!
