"A birth-control pill for men is now a reality, according to an international consortium of physicians who revealed their formula for "safe, effective and reversible" hormonal contraception for males. The preparation includes progestin, a key ingredient found in women's birth-control pills, and the male sex hormone testosterone. Progestin, a synthetic version of a hormone produced in a woman's ovaries, helps suppress ovulation when used in an oral contraceptive. It appears to function in an analogous fashion for men, suppressing "both rate and extent" of sperm production. "Reliable and timely contraception is a reasonable expectation for a wide range of couples of differing ethnicity, age and other characteristics," the researchers stated yesterday. "The rate of suppression is comparable to that achieved after vasectomy.""

ooo really, so you just shoot blanks while on it eh? nice. now will it be covered by insurance and/or will it be relatively cheap, and how long does it take to go into effect? (how long do you have to take it before it becomes effective)

3/31/2008 9:26:48 AM

3/31/2008 9:27:03 AM

Those would be acceptable.

3/31/2008 9:31:16 AM

Caliente, b. Besides...anything that brings down the birth rate is a Very Good Thing. Too many damn unwanted kids being born. (And even if it didn't, the USA is still going to be majority hispanic before too long anyway..coming whether you like it or not...)


Do wonder what the side effects will be...would be interesting to see if it has some of the same weight gain/emotional issues that women complain about...

WHAT YOU SEE AS AN OUTBREAK


I SEE AS AN EVENTUAL IMMUNITY TO CURRENT STRANDS VIA EVOLUTION.

3/31/2008 9:55:24 AM

^ Except for the small portion of the population that practices abstinence, but who are not immune to stds and then go on to have slutty children.

3/31/2008 10:03:09 AM

they will die, thus proving evolution to be true. only the best and sluttiest over several generations will live on

i wonder if taking it decreases load size

3/31/2008 10:48:10 AM

I doubt it. actual sperm is a pretty low portion of a load

lol you said load

probably not, just interferes with the production of sperm, not the rest, though it would probably look different

"For the first time, a safe, effective and reversible hormonal male contraceptive appears to be within reach. Several formulations are expected to become commercially available within the near future. Men may soon have the options of a daily pill to be taken orally, a patch or gel to be applied to the skin, an injection given every three months or an implant placed under the skin every 12 months, according to Seattle researchers."

"I never had any real noticeable side effects. I didn't notice any mood changes. I may have put on a little weight," says Larry Setlow, a 39-year-old computer programmer with a small software company in Seattle. He has taken part in three male hormonal contraceptive clinical trials at the University of Washington and has received both pills and injections."

...why'd they use a computer programmer for a test subject?

3/31/2008 11:22:45 AM

They should mix it in with the spermicide/lube on condoms too

cover the earth in this shit

3/31/2008 11:23:31 AM

I have super sperm. It's been known to eat through condoms


there's no way that this shit would work for me.

3/31/2008 11:23:38 AM

^3 srsly, dont you have to get laid to know whether or not it's effective?

hey!

i highly resent the intent of your comments!

3/31/2008 11:25:12 AM

I just think it'd be more useful to test it in male gigolos or something

but im not going to post it

they should crop dust everything south of Virginia all the way out west to Louisiana with this shit

or they can just test sperm count

and yes, they should cover most of the southern part of the country in this shit.. put it in the water, food and air

3/31/2008 11:35:29 AM

Or they could just put it into sundrop and mountain dew.

3/31/2008 11:36:02 AM

that concept has worked out well in movies

3/31/2008 11:36:09 AM

3/31/2008 11:36:28 AM

I will not take a female hormone to make my testicles not work properly. it just ain't right.

3/31/2008 11:41:09 AM

I would like to do more reading on this. I'd rather NOT play with my hormone levels. This just seems like a bad idea.
