Excellent. Progress! Men deserve reproductive rights too.

The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on February 20, 2024, implicates a new protein complex in regulating gene expression during sperm production. The researchers demonstrate that treating male mice with an existing class of drugs, called HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitors, can interrupt the function of this protein complex and block fertility without affecting libido.

"Most experimental male birth control drugs use a hammer approach to blocking sperm production, but ours is much more subtle," says senior author Ronald Evans, professor, director of the Gene Expression Laboratory, and March of Dimes Chair in Molecular and Developmental Biology at Salk. "This makes it a promising therapeutic approach, which we hope to see in development for human clinical trials soon."

I’ve been reading this same headline for twenty years. There is no viable path for such a product to reach the market in the United States. Our birth control options are dog shit and drug companies make too much money shilling different methods for the same contraceptive to allow competition.

I scheduled my vasectomy appointment today so I guess I’m squared away, but birth control options for Americans suck.

This is great. Everyone should be responsible for birth control. It’s great men will have the responsibility and ability to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy.

I mean I wouldn’t mind if it killed a bit of libido too, having this ravenous hunger all the time sucks, especially because the rational side of me has sworn off relationships for the foreseeable future. I just want to stop wanting it so much. It feels like it’s not worth anything anymore.

Becoming a father has been the most powerful change in my life. Stop self sterilization. The power to create life is the ultimate male power.

Or alternatively you could just not have sex 🤷‍♂️

Birth control doesn’t fix nothing it destroys the natural balance.

how about care about the baby

Vasectomies are 90 pct reversible now

YES FFS. YES. I've wanted this so bad. I'm sick of them deciding our life's. Yes I know I'm responsible for not strapping up but let's not pretend wearing a condom and her popping a fuckin pill is the same. It completely removes all pleasure for me and it's pointless even having sex. Id rather jack off into a fuckin condom at that point and especially when you're young you're fuckin horny. It's ridiculous. No one I know likes wearing fucking condoms. Every man I've ever spoke to about it, ah like, yeah I hate wearing condoms. So why had it taken this fuckin long. I know why because as always women get the fuckin attention and resources and God forbid they don't have control over us. Think of how desperate they will become when we remove this control they have over us. Men are baby trapped constantly. On the man's side the kid is almost never wanted. Think of all girls in UK who have there babys to get there house. Yeah. No more. Maybe the homeless gap will become more fucking equal

Yes. I want to see more women on the streets. Yes. I do. I believe in equality. I'm a real feminist u see. Just the good one. Equality for men and women. Not just privileges for women and discrimination for men.
