International trial of male birth control injection failed. WTF? It was 90% effective and they stopped it due to "depression, weight gain, increased libido and acne."

nevermind that whole "you have to get a needle in your balls while awake" thing (this is that one, right?) that's not that bad. . .but those side effects are terrible! oh my god! increased libido?!!!?!

There is, of course, the special Indian method where they block a tube in the testicles. We can always hope trials work out for that.

No surprise. It's been like this for 20 years now where "male BC breakthrough, only 5-10 years away!"

Put simply I don't think bc will allowed in the US, or it'll be fought tooth and nail, because special interests will lobby against it's funding and testing as thats what happened in India.

Condoms aren't even that effective in real life, counting failure rate I have seen studies that put them at ~70%.

WTF? So exercise, which helps with weight gain and depression, is somehow off the table? What about some acne cream and how the fuck is increased libido a fucking draw back or negative side effect.

I know people who take medications that literally have fucking death on the god damn warning label but having a increased fuckin libido and acne is some how worse than possible bloody bowl movements or stroke? I mean, wtf.

Something sounds aweful fishy about this. This just doesn't make any fuckin sense???? Anyone have any other info on this?

If anything this seems like a way for drug companies to make even more money. Prescribe a skin cream, a anti-depressant, and a freakin diet pill with it and make profit????
