It's hard to fathom that some of these crazy contraception methods were actually believed to work. Listed below are forms of birth control that were (some still are) practiced around the world through the centuries FOR ENTERTAINMENT & INFORMATION PURPOSE ONLY. I have intentionally omitted some of the more dangerous ones...so here goes:

1) Wear a leather pouch containing a cat’s liver on your left foot
2) Squat & sneeze
3) Jump backwards seven times
4) Spit into a frog’s mouth three times
5) Turn the wheel of a grain mill backwards four times at midnight
6) Don't sleep in the moonlight
7) Walk over the graves of dead female ancestors
8) Wooden block shaped like a six-sided doorknob 
9) Hold your breath
10) Turtle shell condoms
11) Don't look at the moon
12) Rub spit on your stomach
13) Sleep on your stomach
14) Breast-feed up to three years
15) Wear a bone from the right side of a black cat around your neck
