      Good! You shouldn’t. If you’re trying to not have children, you should be on birth control, or partner should be in birth control, and you should use condoms.

        I’ve been there done that, lol. I’m old and already did the contraception and condoms long ago. Have 2 children now, do not want more. It sounds like a nice alternative to snipping, but I just can’t trust it. We are fine, and im sure menopause is not far away for her.

          Don’t fear the snip. Mine was almost entirely painless and it’s really nice to have one less thing to worry about.

          Only side effect is now my right testicle dangles lower than my left.

    In the first clinical trial of its kind, a nonhormonal oral contraceptive that reversibly stops sperm production has just been deemed safe for human use…The trial did not assess the pill’s efficacy in reducing sperm

    Uh, lol…I have to admit, I’m not really going to start caring about whether it’s safe until I know that it actually does what it’s trying to do.

    How can you even honestly say it’s a “contraceptive that reversibly stops sperm production” without qualification, if you haven’t even determined it fucking works, yet?

      This how medical studies work, because of ethics. First they prove it works on animals, which they did with great success. But before testing it works on humans, they must first confirm it is not dangerous, before they can ethically test for actual efficacy on a larger cohort.

      honestly even the pill is not enough for me and unless a male one had a massive historical track record of working would not trust it to do the job.

    Compliance ain’t gonna happen. Try getting a dude to take something regularly that isn’t a painkiller. Let’s mix it with advil.

      I dunno, I think “take this pill every day and you’ll never have to pull out again” is a pretty convincing argument to that type of dude.
