Kinda hard to make male contraceptives. Women are naturally infertile for most of the time not spent actively ovulating. They are permanently infertile during pregnancy, real or synthetic. But men? We're always churning out swimmers. When that process stops, something has gone very wrong.

So, artificially induce a naturally occurring phenomenon vs artificially terminate a constant mechanism.

It is more difficult, but still worth working towards it.

Well not with that attitude!
