This looks encouraging. Though on the downside, scientists have been saying a male pill is five to ten years away for at least twenty years.

On the other hand, the method being used in this version is different from any I've seen before, so who knows?

Then of course, there's the suspicion that earlier attempts didn't fail, but were suppressed. A bit tinfoil-hat perhaps, but considering the sorts of things we've seen governments do before, not entirely impossible.

They are still in small animal trials so this product may never reach market. My hopes are on Vasalgel by the Parsemus group. They are a third of there way into funding baboon studies (you can contribute also!). After that clinical trials are the final step to bring a multi-year revesable non-hormonal barrier conterceptive to market. Some men in India have had the product for 15+ years without adverse effects.

I wonder if feminists will defend a man's right to free birth control as much as they defend a woman's right to free birth control.

I Tried looking for the research that backs up these claims, most of the groups recent research has been on prostate contraction. so who knows maybe they found something in that... the group has not published anything specifically on this yet so I wouldn't get too excited.

Edit: found the article
