More Birth Control Options for Men on the Way
Women have the pill, IUD, injections, female condoms and the sponge.
Men have 2 choices: condom or vasectomy. Many researchers say men should have more options, and an international conference in Seattle met in Sept 2007 to discuss this.
There are newer ways of doing vasectomy, to make it less invasive, including a “no needle technique” that uses no needles, scalpel or sutures. There are newer condoms being developed, including a “spray on” variant being released soon in Germany.
However, most current research is focused on developing a male “pill”, to determine safety and effectiveness, but there are hurdles. Whereas women produce only one egg per month, men produce thousands of sperm in seconds, which is more difficult to turn off. The big question is: will men take a newly developed contraceptive? And will women trust them to do it?
The conclusion of the meeting was that a safe, effective male “pill” is being developed - it’s just a matter of time.
