A couple of months ago Rollo Tomassi (the red pill godfather or whatever) got a lot of criticism for suggesting that young men in their 20s should get vasectomies to avoid derailing their path to becoming HVM. Obviously vasectomies are meant to be a permanent form of sterilization and the data for reversal is not great. Men could freeze sperm prior but that would require expensive assisted reproductive technologies later when they are ready to procreate and those are not guaranteed to work.

But there is something on the horizon that could be a game changer called RISUG (reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance). It’s about as invasive as a vasectomy and involves injecting a polymer into the vas deferens but is completely reversible and lasts about 10-15 years. It’s not clear when RISUG will be on the market worldwide, but it could be available within a couple of years. Side effects are minimal and mostly include pain and redness at the procedure site that subsides.

So for men, is this something you would actually take advantage of? Why or why not?

Also would you be less likely to use condoms with casual partners if you had RISUG?

Ladies would you trust your male partners to be responsible for the birth control or would you also use your own methods?

Would unwanted pregnancies drastically decrease as a result of RISUG availability?

Could the incidence of STIs increase as a result of more widespread male contraceptive use if men are less likely to use condoms?
