Report Copyright Violation | Male birth control called Vasalgel will be readily available by 2017 The world-changing miracle that is male birth control has proven successful in baboons and could be available for human use as soon as 2017. It’s called Vasalgel, and unlike female birth control, it is entirely risk-free and requires just a single treatment. First imagined by India’s Dr. Sujoy Guha over 15 years ago, Vasalgel involves a hydrogel that is injected into the vas deferens, in a virtually painless process. This polymer blocks sperm from passing through the tube that would be severed during a vasectomy. If the man wishes to conceive a child, the polymer is eliminated with a second injection. Three male baboons were given Vasalgel in the latest study before having sex with 10 to 15 female baboons each over a six-month period. None of the female baboons were impregnated. read more [ link to elitedaily.com] Last Edited by Account Deleted by User on 09/30/2014 04:28 PM |

Maybe generation Z will give it a try. |

There is a pill that serves the same function. It could've been available to the public for years - its been said that the demand isn't there for it (yeah fucking right!) but the reality is there is no other way to explain why it hasn't reached the market beyond female opposition. Many women utterly loathe the very idea. |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: Male birth control called Vasalgel will be readily available by 2017 Fucking great.
Pop a few pills and none of the baboons will get pregnant.
Oh, wait, did I just misinterpret that on purpose? |
