New research presented at the AAPS Annual Meeting indicates that a new oral option for men to prevent pregnancy may be possible. The study shows the efficacy and side-effects of an oral contraceptive for males, which is similar to birth control pills currently available for women.

    or look into a more natural option for male contraception, neem oil.

    yeah this sounds real safe??

    "selective androgen receptor modulator" sounds like some kind of radio transmitter component.

    "it completely and reversibly inhibited fertility without unwanted side-effects"

    ( yeah--except for all the side-effects that need more than a few months / years to become disruptive )

    god have mercy on people whose job is to write press/publicity about pharmacrap.

    I don't know. Gals take a pill to 'modulate' (?) hormones, thereby preventing ovulation. At first blush, it doesn't seem THAT much less safe, for men to take a similar pill.

    Come to think of it, though, those sure sound like "famous last words."

    Ladies - would you really trust a guy that says "don't worry, I'm on the pill"??

    I think that if it's safe then it might be good alternetive to other methods.

    what the hell is neem oil?

    this is a good alternative but i dunno.. not to discourage anyone but i don't think i could take a guy seriously if he told me he was on the pill. i think i'd just laugh in his face.

    great something else to make men less masculine.

    isn't it easier to just get a vasectomy. and then later on when you want kids get a reverse vasectomy

    Yeah, but it won't keep you safe from disease. Only a condom can do that.
