If you haven't, please read up on Vasalgel. This shit is awesome. It's a simple, inexpensive, reversible procedure. And thus far, the trials have been astoundingly successful.

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points20 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

they just started Baboon trials a few weeks ago!

[–]IAMTHEDEATHMACHINE 10 points11 points12 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I read in an email today that they still needed more funding for the baboon trials. Did they start already with whatever funding they had?

[–]trpirate 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I'm not too sure about this but I think:

-"Animal" testing is rats, small animals, etc. -$60,000 is needed for complete baboon testing, but... -They are currently putting the $35,000 they have towards baboon research to getting some of the baboons. $60,000 is needed to complete all the necessary baboon trials.

Not an expert but this is what I think.

[–]IAMTHEDEATHMACHINE 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I re-read the email and I believe you are correct.

[–]SpecialFester 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–]OzarkaTexile -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

I think you overestimate the amount of men who want to go to the doctor for dick injections.

[–]IAMTHEDEATHMACHINE 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

It's a much simpler procedure than a vasectomy, you only need to get it done once, it's reversible, and it will be cheap.

I'm willing to endure a couple minutes of anesthesia and a few days of sore balls for complete control over the transfer of my genetic material.

[–]Modredpillschool 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Hopefully it's way cheaper than a vasectomy. I discovered that where I live, an uninsured vasectomy is close to $7500.

[–]UnkleTBag 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's extremely popular in India, so I'm guessing it will be fairly inexpensive.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Is a vasectomy usually covered by insurance? Just curious.

[–]Modredpillschool 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Most people I know were able to get it for hundreds with insurance..

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Good to know. Not that I am looking into one now but in 10 years. Maybe.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's very profitable to them in the long run if you don't have kids or decide to stop having them. A relatively healthy adult male is paying for someone else's child cancer.

[–]Redpillc0re 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I think you underestimate the number of people who will want to jump on its bandwagon once they know it exists (and is safe). I would bet money on the prediction that it will become a no brainer for the majority of men under 30 in 2 years after its release.

This,

"But without affecting the long-term viability of sperm or the sexual or general health of males. The sperm is effectively there, but the muscle is just not receiving the chemical message to move it"

is what bothers me about the male pill, I don't want that specific muscle to atrophy, which it could over the time the man is on that pill. I wouldn't bring it up if the article was more reassuring, "you stop taking it and everything should be okay,' he told broadcaster ABC."

Should be? I don't like when doctors say should, they know what 'should' implies.

[–][deleted] 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

[permanently deleted]

[–]sliqwilly 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Can they really have a test that covers 10-30 years of chemically induced atrophy? I just read the abstract of gossypol, they only did a testing period of a decade, in which they found a slew of negative side effects. Low potassium counts, gi discomfort and paralysis are easier to spot than what concerns me.

I forgot I was a layperson who shouldn't think for himself, it' a good thing doctors learn for me. Just because you may not know much doesn't mean I'm completely uneducated.

The vasalgel hardening thing you mentioned is imaginative, where as muscle atrophy is a problem that is well understood. I'd imagine if the gel hardened, it could be removed surgically. Do you happen to know the muscle recovery regiment necessary to rehabilitate weak ball muscle? Things like that take time, if such a regiment has been completely worked out.

Of course the vasalgel may have unforeseen consequences, but this drug is blocking the protein receptor site for sperm transportation. What I'm saying, is that sustained inhibition of that muscle could mean permanent or semi-permanent atrophy of the muscle that transports sperm.

To contrast, JQ1 was another proposed male contraceptive. It inhibited chromatid production during spermatogenesis. What worried researchers about that drug, possible sperm and chromosomal mutations, is what makes researchers feel safe about the new pill, it doesn't target sperm or sperm production. Of course this could be settled by research, and it will, but I won't be an early adopter of the pill for long term use.

[–]Stationary_Wagon 32 points33 points34 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

It's very interesting to see that even contraception for men falls under these topics at the bottom of the article:

Topics: birth control, contraception, family planning, feminism, women's issues

[–]TheeRyanGrey 57 points58 points59 points 12 years ago (21 children) | Copy Link

fuck all other topics on the board right now, this is the single most important.

giving men more control and power over their lives is huge

Yeah shit gets normalised so that the system works on behalf of women. When you emancipate men from women and have the system work on behalf of women you get a self-destructive society where women don't need to trust men and thus exploit them by getting the government to oppress them... divorce laws, family law etc. Feminism makes sure their opinions are the only ones portrayed in a positive light in the mainstream media. It's a cluster fuck. Too much irrational female opinion "driving" western society today.

[–]TheeRyanGrey 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

yeah the world is SO much better now that the government has kept us all safe and makes sure nothing bad happens.

that's the world of women: shedding risk and ambition in the favor of consistency and safety.

ironically, women hate consistent, safe men.

Except by that point it will be available and legal and there will be no going back... much like when those guys invented 'The Pill' to stop women from getting pregnant. We cant take 'The Pill' back, they wont be able to take this back either.

It's just another level in the arms race of sex.

Or we could just go back and re-evaluate abortions and the pill again and make them illegal if they want to take this away from us.

[–]diemaskeundich 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Once they realize men having reproductive rights translates into power against classical manipulation tactics

In my opinion this will change the distorted dynamics between women an men. Every sensible father will bring their son on their sixteenth birthday to the doctor. These men will have to consciously decide to have children or not.

If there is no insensitive to get children as a man, because governments fuck them over left to right, governments will have to change their mindset if they want of springs.

3% monthly inflation? 42% yearly inflation? Doubling the prices every second year?

Also calling bullshit on "can live til 113", the argument shouldn't be how long she lives, but how long she is physically capable of having babies, so my vague understanding of anatomy tells me it's before menopause.

The hamstering will be to shift the goalposts: there'll be arguments made that men should be educated about consequences, rape, blah blah blah, instead of just creating a pill for them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabergoline

[–]autowikibot 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Excerpt from linked Wikipedia article about Cabergoline :

Cabergoline (brand names Dostinex and Cabaser), an ergot derivative, is a potent dopamine receptor agonist on D2 receptors. In vitro, rat studies show cabergoline has a direct inhibitory effect on pituitary lactotroph (prolactin) cells. It is frequently used as a first-line agent in the management of prolactinomas due to higher affinity for D2 receptor sites, less severe side effects, and more convenient dosing schedule than the older bromocriptine.

I'm not going to get too excited. This is still a very long way from market, and because there's not a shit ton of money to be made from it, big pharma very well might squash it. They don't need competition in the birth control market.

[–]drallcom39 points 12 years ago* [recovered] (5 children) | Copy Link

There already is competition in birth control in general.

They would gladly sell Vasagel to men, because in that specific category, chemical birth control for men, there's no competition.

It will probably be expensive and I would still wear a condom in addition. There's just too much stuff to catch. For a LTR it's perfect, but expect a shitstorm for not being able to "accidentally" getting her pregnant (aka commitment) ;).

[–]SigmaMu 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Don't tell her you got it and watch her 'accidentally' turn up pregnant anyway.

RISUG, which this is based on, is already in human trials in India. If you know someone you can fly over and get the injection under the table. Vasalgel is the same thing as RISUG, similiar compound and procedures. It's being developed under a different name to get FDA approval since India and the USA have vastly different medical standards.

The funny thing is the compound was originally developed for artificial hearts and later water pumps. It works by applying a charge to all particles flowing nearby, which ends up shredding sperm cells in transit. Extremely simple and direct approach to the problem, takes most of the risk out.

[–]0xJRS 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I've been following this for awhile and it looks and sounds very promising.

[–]metalfan20 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Why am I just now hearing about this? I'm intrigued. This is a start.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

a sterilization proceedure which is permanent without another proceedure isn't for me. maybe an irrational fear of western civilization collpasing (taking with it all medical professionals who could reverse this) precludes my better judgement, but i think many men are like me in having a deep seated fear of being left permanently infertile. i would advise vasalgel to make a product which degrades after one year for the more paranoid of its potential customers

[–]dreamingawake09 6 points7 points8 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Vaselgel isn't permanent. It can last up to ten years, and can be reversed with an injection of water and baking soda. Their last animal test was with rabbits and the rabbits were able to effectively able to reproduce after they were injected with the water/baking soda solution.

Maybe 1 or 2 days of pain, vs 18 years for child support for a child you didn't want. Take your pick.

18 years for child support for a child you didn't want.

I think the chances of that are really low if you take precautions.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and U.S.A.I.D. are getting serious about new long-acting options for women; not so, yet, for men.

Fuck the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

[–]ClearArmor 10 points11 points12 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Easy there. Those organizations do good work. Seems the article's author just picked them out as examples. I can't imagine male birth control being desired in low income portions of the world, which is where those organizations do most of their work.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They ARE doing huge work for contraceptives. This article left out the fact that the Bill and Melinda foundation is absolutely pouring money into better designed condoms out of graphene sheets and crazy shit. So that you literally cant feel them and are more effective, etc.

They just arent putting their money into male chemical BC because their biggest concern is 3rd world countries where frankly guys never stick around anyway, there is no child support money, and girls dont even know the risks of pregnancy to begin with. Pregnancy only effects the woman over there. So they want to be able to give every poor teenage girl a way to NOT get pregnant at 16 and continue the cycle of poverty. Its a hell of a lot different situation.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Developing BC options for women is not bad. A better BC option that the current pill (cheaper, less side affects, less prone to user error) HELPS MEN indirectly.

Don't be a moron, the Gates Foundation has contributed a lot to men and women.
