Mensan Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The Revolutionary New Birth Control Method for Men http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/04/ff_vasectomy/all/1 The procedure is known by the clunky acronym RISUG (for reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance), but it is in fact quite elegant: The substance that Das injected was a nontoxic polymer that forms a coating on the inside of the vas. As sperm flow past, they are chemically incapacitated, rendering them unable to fertilize an egg. If the research pans out, RISUG would represent the biggest advance in male birth control since a clever Polish entrepreneur dipped a phallic mold into liquid rubber and invented the modern condom. “It holds tremendous promise,” says Ronald Weiss, a leading Canadian vasectomy surgeon and a member of a World Health Organization team that visited India to look into RISUG. “If we can prove that RISUG is safe and effective and reversible, there is no reason why anybody would have a vasectomy.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murse Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The only negative is reduced testes size. I think for most it won't be a issue, plus it will make your junk look larger!

Sledhead36 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 This will never happen. There was another drug discovered in the early 90's that worked very well but upon market research, no woman would trust a man to take it or they would assume that they would lie. Thus there was no market potential. These drug companies need to spend a lot of cash to get a drug to market, thus there has to be huge reimbursement.

Like any man trusts random women to take their birth control, and yet there is a large market for that. Seems to me history indicates that birth control pills were looked at much the same way you describe this when it came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
