I'm tired of hearing about this shit. Put it to market or stop talking about it.
Yeah just push it out to public. Just like they did with women's contraceptives.
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!
This kind of news is an annual event at this point.
I have a different solution, its called being a transbian :3
How so? Unless you remove testicles, or your partner is also a trans person, you're still 100% able to have offspring together
I was being more silly than serious :3
Hehe alright!
I just use my personality. Seems simpler.
The new stuff is reversible
Easier to target one egg cell than millions of sperm germ cells.
Sure. But the demand is here on both sides, not just one.
Male contraceptives allow men to have reproductive agency beyond condoms and vasectomy, and they can be used in couples where women prefer not to use non-barrier contraception for health reasons or personal reservations.
My situation right here. Condoms suck, vasectomy is too much, and birth control isn't on the table. Please give me a pill already.
That's great but I've been seeing articles like this for decades so I'll believe it when there's an actual working product you can actually get

Right? Im scheduled for a vasectomy in a month, this ain’t stopping me.
Cool. More options for reproductive agency are always welcome.
