Male Birth Control: How Does it Work and Why Doesn't it Exist Yet?

Never going to happen. They will never allow men to control their bodies.

I had a friend that was trapped by an uneducated prior single mother. He pays $800 a month until 18 +plus college. She claims she didn't know the antibiotics messed up her birth control. And she started to not like condoms anymore.

As far as why it doesn't exist,

Well, stopping sperm production with drugs is actually fairly easy, and we have a number of drugs that do this already.

However, they also prevent erections, which sort of defeats the entire purpose.

The reason is quite simple male birth control is way more complicated than female birth control. Basically female birth control uses inherent biological processes (processes that occur naturally in women) to make a pregnancy not happen. However in men there is no sperm off switch so the birth control has no biological system to take advantage of. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible or not worth researching but there are far greater hurdles than most people would think.

Men should not be responsible for a woman’s biological processes. We have condoms. That’s all we need. Women should be the ones worrying about making sure that they aren’t getting pregnant.
