If I recall the idea came when a researcher in a Western country, maybe UK, gave a community talk about contraception and at the end two lovely old ladies came up to him and said, giggling, that if a girl inserts a lemon after sex she won’t get pregnant.
That is bullshit. Inserting a slice of lemon, or lemon juice, in the vagina does not guarantee that the acidity will travel to the uterus, where sperms end up looking for an egg.
A bit of understanding basic female reproductive anatomy might help decipher this, folks.
