Well, in theory it sounds good. Male Contraceptive in the Works.

Not a condom, but something that the boys ingest and makes their little spermies go belly up.

From WebMD:

Scientists report promising results with a male contraceptive drug tested on rats.

The drug, called Adjudin, is a long way from human use. But lab tests on rats showed no signs of side effects, and the drug’s effects wore off in 20 weeks.

The researchers included Chuen-yan Cheng, PhD, of the Population Council’s Center for Biomedical Research. The Population Council is a New York-based international nonprofit organization that conducts biomedical, social science, and public health research.

About Adjudin

Basically, Adjudin nips wannabe sperm cells in the bud. Those cells, called germ cells, ordinarily develop into sperm. But they need the help of other cells, called Sertoli cells, to reach that destiny.

Okay, so it’s a long way yet from human use. But when you think about it, would you really want to trust a guy to be in charge of contraception? Afterall, he’s not the one who’s going to get pregnant if he forgets to take his Adjudin, now is he. At least with a condom, you can see him put the sucker on.

Uh, thanks but no thanks. Whatever the hassles of birth control, I prefer to be the one in charge of that portion of my life.
