Scientists have found a way to stop sperm swimming, making the long-awaited male contraceptive pill a step closer to fruition.

Kind of like the ‘joke?’ that has a bunch of he swimmers doing workouts, exercises etc because ‘it’ is going to produce a winning kid. Joke ends with ‘them’ swimming back ‘upstream’ yelling BJ BJ go back.....etc...

And how many men in the past with girlfriends ended up with a baby after the marriage minded girlfriend just "forgot" to take the pill.

Oh man, I'm pretty sure I know two case studies of that just in my family. God help you if you imply that's what they did though.

I have the best form of male birth control known. It’s called abstinence.

And I would call that 'wasted years" but if you are happy then good for you.

I’ll say it here: within a year or two, there will be a lawsuit by some woman saying that the availability of this pill violates her reproductive rights. As in having EXCLUSIVE rights to determine whether pregnancy happens or continues.

it's an old joke, and a little reverse-sexist, but

Why does it take a million sperm to fertilize a single egg?

[ Because they won't stop and ask for directions. ]

A mystery was recently solved as to why there are "millions" of swimmers and just one egg.

A: They refuse to ask directions!

Considering all the lovely things that the pill does to women, there’s NO WAY I’d ever take that garbage.

Beautiful. This will turn out to be the death knell of feminism, mark my words.

Not far for you, but far for them at their scale. Think of it like an ant crossing the sidewalk, to him, it’s like a 5 mile journey, even though you can do it in 2 steps.
