Male birth control could be here by 2017..

Post by *BlackFox »

but will anyone take it?

Vasalgel, male birth control, could be available to the public by 2017 in the form of an injection. But would anyone have it - and would women really be able to relinquish responsibility? Radhika Sanghani reports

At long last, it looks like male birth control is finally coming. Only, contrary to popular expectations, it’s not a male pill (which is still being developed), but an injection called Vasalgel.

Vasalgel, brainchild of the Parsemus Foundation, is a non-hormonal gel that's injected just above the testicles. It works by temporarily blocking sperm from flowing through the tubes, just like a vasectomy. The only difference? This one is reversible.

Is male birth control a good idea?

So far, it's only been tested on baboons and rabbits. But the results have been positive and it looks like they might be similar when the injection is tested on humans next year. It means we could have a new birth control option in 2017: just for men.

"Tears", about time. I would probably wait a bit to try it, my only concern is any long lasting side effects.

Hell no I wouldn't be taking an injection for a "temporary" vasectomy.

You're telling me they're going to ask people to willingly take a shot to the shaft of something made in a laboratory, and people are going to be ok with that?

You can save a lot of money + pain and still have birth control.

I'm not too keen these days on putting something made in a lab into your body unless you have to, male or female. I know female birth control regulates periods and whatnot, so I'll leave that up to them to make a decision on that.

It's much easier to just wrap it, for me.

Side note:
Every time I read your posts with a random ellipsis in the middle I know it's coming, but I still pause for it anyway.

Nothing is more secure than knowing you have to wrap your shit up because your sperm is so volatile it'll impregnate any woman just by touching their skin.
