Oh one other idea: While it's not "canon" in the DUNE universe, that old book the DUNE ENCYCLOPEDIA has an article that describes how Fremen males deliberately learn to practice retrograde ejaculation (releasing their semen into their bladder instead letting it out), not necessarily as a birth-control method but to conserve water, that little bit of moisture in an ejaculation being too much water to waste under the Fremen's miserly water-control standards. Indeed, according to this article, an adolescent Fremen male needs to learn this technique before he can attain true manhood. This is actually possible, but (while I will not explain WHY I know this), I can assure everyone that this is a completely unsatisfactory approach and is probably the least believable aspect of the Fremen culture. Just saying.
