There's a new male contraceptive treatment in Bosnia which I can almost guarantee will never catch on here. The men receive electric shocks to their testicles.

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.

He said: "We attach electrodes to either side of the testicles and send low electricity currents flowing through them.

"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.

"The method does not kill the sperm permanently and it does not affect the patient's health."

Men are lining up at the clinic to get the treatments. It's so popular, they are planning to expand.

He added: "We are hoping to have a small battery powered version on sale in the shops in time for Xmas."
