As we discussed in a previous post, the #1 way to prevent pregnancy and STDs (behind abstinence, which is yuck) is to wear condoms every time you have sex. But we all know that guys (and girls) aren’t particularly fond of the feeling of harsh inorganic substances rubbing against their sensitive regions. So if you happened to be in a committed relationship (or had a very trustworthy booty call), you might be interested in this news: we might be on the brink of accessing male birth control!

The potential new drug is called RISUG – Reversible Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance, and it works by injecting a polymer gel into the vas deferens, which kills the sperm as they pass by. In clinical trials in India, it has been shown to be 100% effective for up to ten years, and as the name suggests, is reversible if and when the patient decides he no longer needs contraception. Check out the infographic from the manufacturer’s site below:

It’s still a way away from being used outside India, but we imagine it could be a very successful venture in America, where men hate condoms almost as much as they hate getting chicks preggo.

What do you think? Would you use a male form of birth control? Or does it still seem to experimental for you to use on your junk?
