Can't wait for the flood of people telling us why this isn't feasible for men to take and insisting that when a SAFE and 100% EFFECTIVE form is ready they'll surely take it.

It's feasible for men to take.
But it's absolutely not feasible for women to trust a men who says he's taking it.

So it is a good option for family planning of married couples (where the man is legally responsible for any children he might conceive).
But not for casual sex.

Not sure how it's done where you live, but if you have a one night stand, the condom breaks, and she gets pregnant, you're still legally on the hook for child support. This sounds like a great idea for any man who wants their own insurance again any accidental pregnancy.

Yes, it is a great idea for men to take it.
It is not a great idea for women to have unprotected sex just because the man says he takes it.

Yes, completely agree with that.
