Apparently men can make themselves temporarily sterile by dipping their testicles in 115 degree water for ten minutes at a time once a day for three weeks.

Sounds kind of comical, but if they could come up with a more systematic way of achieving the same results, it could be something worth looking at.   

That's perfect. How about they amend the law to say that if the woman isn't allowed to have her birth control, her sexual partners must all do this if asked by her? That would stop the law dead in its tracks.

I'm so glad I don't live in that bass ackwards state. It is very strange to see a number of conservative women who push invasive laws like this. Can't quite wrap my head around that one.

WTF, that's hotter than boiling! I wouldn't last 1/10th of a second let alone 10 minutes.
115F = 46C we are talking pre-metric societies here. ;D

I could try and tell my partner I'm safe, I've been having regular warm/hot baths.
I don't think she'd believe me though.  :(

Haha, yeah, sorry, the article is in Fahrenheit, I probably should have mentioned that.

Apparently the pain threshold for heat is around 118 degrees Fahrenheit, so this treatment would be quite warm, but do-able.
