TelegraphUK- Telegraph Wonder Women campaign: New forms of male contraception are estimated to hit the market in a few years and – unlike women’s options – most won’t contain hormones. Aaron Hamlin explains why you need to care.
Vasalgel is a non-hormonal male contraceptive owned by the medical research organisation the Parsemus Foundation. It’s poised as the first FDA (Food and Drug Administration panel) approved male contraceptive since the condom.
What’s more, it’s estimated to hit the US market around 2018-2020 – and could change the way we view contraception for ever.
It’s easy, too. One injection would last for years. Research tells us that at least half of men would use it.
Vasalgel is essentially a polymer that’s injected under local anesthetic into the man’s sperm-carrying tubes, accessible through the scrotum — not in his penis or testicles as some authors have erred. It works by blocking sperm and is expected to be reversible through a second injection that dissolves the polymer.
We’ll know for sure its length of efficacy and whether it’s fully reversible after the medical trials, which begin in 2016. MORE
Uh yeah I’m not having that done.
I shall withhold my completely racist first reaction to this post.
“…works by blocking sperm”. So after a year or so, a guy is walking around looking like he has a basketball in his pants…?

One look at the First Scowl is enough to inhibit any thought
of sex.
As long as you’re posting pictures that are guaranteed to stop a priopism, how about this one

Yep, a cure for priapism, if ever I saw one.
“I swear to God, baby, I’m on the male-pill. No need to worry!”
And women are gonna take a guy’s word for it?
“…and is expected to be reversible through a second injection”…
Hmm…Something tells me THAT one will not be QUITE as available.
It does sound greatly appealing if itwould slow down new youngins’ to be brought up on the dole. Especially since their fathers have no intent on actually raising them.
Great, another form of contraception that won’t prevent STDs.
Male pill? Sounds more like a deliberately plumbing blockage.
well all I can say is I hope the current crop of breeding socialist, generational inner city welfare recipients, communist constitutional hating, country hating americans alive today, line up in droves to take advantage of this advancement in the “reproductive health care for men”. then f themselves to death.
And they make it mandatory when?
No fucking way
The first one is ONE DOLLAR
–
The second one to reverse it costs – $10,000
Maybe if the pill turned the scrotum green (for “go”), women could feel free to “proceed.”
Sure! As easily as they take his word that he’s tested negative for STDs.
