Male birth control gel is safe and effective, new trial findings show
After decades of attempts to develop new birth control medications for men, scientists are more hopeful than ever. With new abortion restrictions, demand is growing, experts say.

I mean this is just "sperm suppression", of course it lowers the risk of pregnancy considerably, but not 100%. I'll still get my tubes snipped at this point. As a guy you simply don't have a lot of options if you want to be safe. Condoms and vasectomy, that's it. And condoms can fail too if you're unlucky.
As soon as the girl is pregnant all you can do is pray she doesn't decide to keep the kid :-/
I got a vasectomy and it was crazy easy. Had a meeting with my doc just so he could make sure I knew it was permanent, I asked if I could have something extra for the pain and dude was like "I can give you vallium is that alright?" Showed up day of, took like 30 mins and didn't feel a thing. Only thing was the smell of burning flesh was a little much but that was literally it.
My partner wants some form of permanent BC herself but literally no doctor will allow it.
Or pray she cheated.
This is great, I'd get this in a heartbeat.
We're going to trust men with an invisible daily birth control? I don't think so.
As with any invisible or otherwise difficult to monitor birth control method, this is really only for people in dedicated relationships.
It goes both ways. A man shouldn't trust a women he just met to be on birth control. A women should have the same reservations.
This is for people who can trust a long term partner, and who wouldn't be destroyed by the failure of the product. And that's still a huge market.
Exactly, no one should trust anyone they just met.
I've several ex girlfriends who fuck up taking their daily birth control and needed plan b... IDK why men would be worse tho, please explain?
Such a weird argument. Look beyond that one use case.
In my case, I, a male, don't want kids. I would get this. I'd still use condoms, because STDs. But in the event that they don't work (because it can happen), at least I know that I won't get anyone accidentally pregnant. It's great!
Why not both? Seems awesome for reducing risk of pregnancy even further.
It's for relationships. if you're with a new partner use condoms.
This is why Grindr has a Stat for when you were last tested. Straight dating platforms should have it too imo
If you‘re sleeping around it’s a good thing, in addition to condoms. Condoms do fail sometimes. The probability of a condom and hormonal birth control failing at the same time is much lower
I understand the upvotes, but I also understand the downvotes.
Boys are, in general, dumb. But some are malicious.
Be careful out there.
