Attempting to spit into the mouth of a frog would likely bring said female in oral contact with the frog’s skin. I remember as a kid another kid getting really sick after putting a frog in his mouth and later being warned that frog as well as toads have chemicals on their skin which we are wise not to ingest. Perhaps one of these chemicals in low doses, such as one might get from attempting to spit in a frogs mouth, might produce a contraceptive affect in a woman’s body?
or maybe its just something somebody made up. But contraception are often one of the natural remedies most desired by women in non-industrial populations where local herbal medicine is still practiced.
you know, the other way around and it almost makes sense.

See, now I heard all sorts of things might happen if you lick a frog, but contraception isn’t one of ’em.

Oh, yeah? First imagine you will spend considerable time and effort on something not connected with doing sex, then imagine you will come into contact with a slimy beast, then imagine that you are potentially nauseous from the contact, and now imagine that you have stamina and will left to connect with yet another beast. (Potentially slimy too. :-) Pretty good contraceptive, if you ask me.
poor froggy? what’s worse? spitting into the frog’s mouth, or levitating it?
hey, maybe spitting into the mouth of a levitated frog will do something?! that’s called the Thomas Edison approach to science: try all possible combinations.

Is that why Rome conquered France? For birth control? ;)

I’m gonna say that’s actually a toad.

I think I speak for the entire religious right when I ask….did it work?

Those “Frenchy’s” have all the fun!
Unless you meant the amphibian………..

Yabbut you’re missing the possibility that the frog will turn into a handsome prince and then contraception will be practically impossible.

by-the-by, there’s also a movie of the famous floating and flying frog.

What on earth lead them to that conclusion?
Gene says
Exactly how much Viagra would it take to arouse your libido if you saw a lady prying open the mouth of a frog and spitting into its open jaws?
Then again…..
ekzept says
how hard is it to “pry open the mouth of a frog” without damaging the frog?
PZ Myers says
It’s fairly easy to pry open the mouth of a frog. A little pressure on the two joints’ll do it.
You know, that is kind of kinky…
ekzept says
ah, like opening a dog’s mouth?
PZ Myers says
It works on people, too.
Carlie says
Does this mean South Dakota will ban frogs next?
ekzept says
only parthenogenetic ones …
