Electric shock treatment “sends sperm to sleep”

It would appear that Men in Serbia are lining up to have electric shocks delivered to their testicles as part of a new contraceptive treatment. Serbian fertility expert Dr. Sava Bojovic, who runs one of the clinics offering the service, said the small electric shock makes men temporarily infertile by stunning their sperm into a state of immobility. The electrodes are attached to either side of the testicles and send low electricity currents flowing through them. The claim is that this stuns the sperm, effectively putting them to sleep for up to 10 days, which means couples can have sex without fear of getting pregnant.
Bojovic claims that “The method does not kill the sperm permanently and it does not affect the patient’s health.” He also claims it has none of the problems attached to using condoms, the male pill or having a vasectomy. Apparently patients are lining up at his fertility clinic, and they are hoping to have a small battery-powered version on sale in the shops in time for Christmas.
Is it the 1st of April or something??? I would love to see the clinical data on this one!
