    The best option all around that I’ve seen is Vasagel, which is the western development based on RISUG which was a successful Indian trial

    https://www.planaformen.com/vasalgel

    The major complication for it has been that no pharma wants to invest in it, likely because if doesn’t have good profit potential.

    It is a one-time ‘shot’ of a physical gel that blocks the vas deferens (sperm channel) and is fully reversible simply by being flushed out again.

    However, since it is not an ongoing monthly profit ahem, prescription, there is not a lot of money to be made.

    No hormones, no pills, fully reversible, simply blocks the sperm exactly like a vasectomy, just very easily reversed. It can all be done in clinic with a syringe (perhaps tho the syringe will be a blocker for some men)

      Is the syringe in the dong? Because that’s a beeg no for me. I’m not squeamish around needles but am squeamish about the dong and dings.

        I mean it seems about equally as invasive as an IUD. I bet people could get used to the concept.

          I wasn’t talking about people.

          I’m talking about me.

          I don’t want needles (or any sharp objects) close to my genitals.

        Well, I’ve not had it since it isn’t available yet.

        But I get what you mean about the needles in the dong.

        But most likely, the needle is through the side of the scrote, which might not be much better.

        Probably best to just not watch.

        It is less invasive than a vasectomy, since it’s a needle and not a scalpel, but ofc it’s not as simple as a pill

        On the other hand, it’s one-and-done and nevermore worried about unwanted paternity claims.
