A scientific breakthrough could finally make a male contraceptive pill reality, researchers said last night. Previous attempts to develop a pill have tried either to alter a man’s hormones or to make his sperm ineffective.
The new technique works like a temporary vasectomy, stopping sperm leaving the body during sex – which scientists say will reassure men concerned that other approaches could affect their long-term virility and libido.
It is also likely to appeal to women uneasy about the female pill’s potential to raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots.

Male contraceptive pill may be available in 10 years
EXCERPT:
Scientists have taken a giant leap towards creating the world’s first oral contraceptive pill for men.
Currently, men can only use condom or undergo a surgical vasectomy as the proven form of contraception.
Scientists now say that a male contraceptive could be on the horizon - within 10 years after they identified a novel way to block the transport of sperm during ejaculation. Researchers from University of Melbourne and the University of Leicester, UK, collaborated on the study.
Publishing their results on Tuesday, scientists have found that complete male infertility could be achieved by blocking two proteins found on the smooth muscle cells that trigger the transport of sperm.
Men could also use my personality. It seems to work well.
PURE science fiction. A future government slips the male contraceptive into the water supply.
Never could happen here.
You mean saltpeter?
Nano MAN-icals.
As if the only use of a condom is to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
General Ripper knows they’re just after your precious bodily fluids...
stopping sperm leaving the body during sex
Huh??
No need for this, just register as a Democrat.
Men will not take it.
They are much more comfortable with women swallowing chemical weapons.
It stops the sperm from reaching the ejaculate.
As I understand the effects of saltpeter, you would know something was going on. If your boys were MAN-icaled you might not suspect.

There are no harmful side-effects. Honest. It’s safer than candy.
My eyes bugged out on that one. We've been saying that for decades, and have been called liars for it, and now they just slip that in there, like "everybody knows..."
Back in the day you just had to put a rock in your shoe.
It made you limp.
Will be here all week...lol
It's amazing that some men would believe that a vasectomy (real or chemical) would affect "long-term virility and libido." I had a real vasectomy in 1971 and it had no such effect on me. I'm a sample of one but I've never read of any medical reports to the contrary. Some people have too much imagination.
NO THANKS
I DON’T SHOOT BLANKS!
