How many generations is "a few?" Contraceptives have been used for thousands of years, and people still want to do the boogie without the baby.
The Romans literally picked a plant to extinction that was, reportedly, a very effective contraceptive that would allow reproduction once it was stopped.
Ancient Egyptians had a mix that utilized crocodile dung because croc dung has spermicide qualities. I don't want to know how they figured that out.
- gedy 2y agoMy comment is not saying "contraceptives = bad", just commenting on the irony of OP saying "next generations" having even more reproductive freedom when many countries are below replacement levels of fertility even before new techniques like male contraceptives. To your point, he effectiveness of modern contraceptives is far beyond croc dung and the peoples who used them in past had much higher fertility levels than modern users.
