that's how it works. Human trials can be 5, 10+ years.

An alternative to Vasalgel did a couple of trials in January 2024 and they said the trail would be 2 years long to cover the entire lifespan of the drug.

I was trying to figure out why Vasalgel hasn't started human trials but I can't seem to find any actual reasons.

Yeah this could have helped save my relationship… ten years ago.

"Birth control is for bitches" I can already hear Tate worshippers justifying rape.

It's feasible for men to take.
But it's absolutely not feasible for women to trust a men who says he's taking it.

So it is a good option for family planning of married couples (where the man is legally responsible for any children he might conceive).
But not for casual sex.

As a man I can assure you that this pill wouldn't be feasable for me to take and I'm better off without it.

~Because I'm snipped~

I'd take it so my gf can get off her hormone implant.

On another platform, yep.

It’s good to see an alternative, even though it’s going to be caught up in the precious fragile masculinity discussion.

You know what’s insane? Handing out hormonal birth control to 14 year old girls. Also, having women take hormones for decades on end.

Sure but its about the same rate as female birth control. also fertilization cant happen every single day of the month, so in your scenario you only gotta worry about 2 to 3 days a month, when you could use condoms if you were really worried about it.

This is a fantastic alternative to the hell hormonal birth control can be for women.

Contraceptive effectiveness is usually not measured by number of times sex happened, it's measured by comparing how many pregnancies happen in comparison with the normally expected in a given time period.

Condoms are only 97% effective.

The 99% effectiveness is measured in the aggregate, not "have sex 100 times and you have a baby."

The only birth control that is 100% effective is not having sex.

That's not how those percentages are calculated. It's not per instance of intercourse, it's how many couples end up pregnant after being sexually active for a year. 99% means you have a 1% chance of getting a woman pregnant if you're sexually active throughout a year.

Is that any different than the pill or other contraception methods?

Bro, are you seriously against male contraception? The pill has failure rates of 9 friggin' percent of typical use. 99% for typical use would be amazing.

Stealthing?

Is that where they don't put it on or pretend it comes off or some stupid shit?

I'm... Yeah. Im Not ok now. My ex gave me way too many details about when she cheated on me and now I realize just how stupid I was staying with her as long as I did.

God fucking damnit. I mean I get it. Yeah, there's a noticable difference. But Jesus fucking Christ its rape at that point. I just

Goddamnit fuck men. Fuck all' the bastards that think they can do whatever they want with women. It's not right, I don't care how much hate I get for it. I might be a man, I might be straight as anyone can be. But no one deserves the shit that the patriarchy has created, and every day I seem to learn something new. It's bad enough that I don't conform to the "manly" image of being handy, strong, or arrogant, or sporty.

the core issue that nobody is mentioning is that men are ultimately not the people who suffer the consequences

No, thats a major hurdle to get this stuff approved. Birth control all comes with downsides, there's no "perfect conception" except absence.

With female birth control, the negatives of birth control can far outweigh the negatives of pregnancy. But men have (essentially) no negative medical issues with pregnancy, so a birth control for men would also have to have next to no long or short term issues.
