I'd be interested in seeing the ingredients. If you can post the 
ingredients here be sure and post all the information including Pin 
Yin, Latin, and English common if they're listed as such.

I don't so much question the efficacy as I do the safety. It would kind 
of depend on the treatment principle. Generally fertility indicates 
health, and so removing fertility would probably include creating some 
sort of disharmony. Not sure this is such as good idea, really.

Condoms don't make you sick, unless you swallow it or something. : )

Yes, do that. I'm interested in seeing what they're thinking.
