Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

All the various theories concerning the causes of psychosomatic sterility are reviewed and the relationships between

the psyche, the brain, and the genital functions of women are analyzed. Such relationships could be exploited in

order to obtain a technique of hypnotic contraception. The possibility of creating conditioned reflexes at the

subconscious level, so that, when a woman does not want to become pregnant, either ovulation could be psychically

inhibited, or, when the sperm reaches the vagina, the subconscious could modify the pH of the vagina or the quality

of cervical mucus, preventing the passage of the sperm through the cervix, is considered. Spasms of the uterine

cervix or of the fallopian tubes have also been demonstrated to be induced by psychogenic factors. Hypnotic

contraception could be obtained also by self-hypnosis, inducing such spasms, which would prevent contact between

the sperm and the ovum, thereby avoiding fecundation and pregnancy. Hypnotic contraception could be highly

advantageous, being reversible, and would be harmless, economical, and morally acceptable. (AUTHORS'
