A male contraceptive gel has been found to work reliably in a trial in primates, bringing the prospect of an alternative form of birth control for humans closer.

"One of the great things about the monkey model is that the male reproductive tract is very similar to humans and they have even more sperm than humans do," said VandeVoort.

In the study, published in the journal Basic and Clinical Andrology, 16 male rhesus monkeys were given injections of the gel and then returned to their group, which included between three and nine breeding females.
