Soon to come... Options for men.
A pill for guys? Maybe soon - LiveScience - MSNBC.com
  • Sperm blocker: Researchers who have been developing the Intra Vas Device are expected to announce test results showing "substantial equivalence to traditional vasectomy methods" in a study of 90 men. The device — a set of removable plugs — blocks sperm in the vas deferens, the tube that's cut in a vasectomy. Further research is needed to find whether fertility returns after the plugs are removed.
  • Testosterone-like pill: A drug called "selective androgen receptor modulator," or SARM, is being tested on humans as an osteoporosis and muscle-wasting treatment. It also shows promise as a male pill, researchers said. A similar drug taken orally reduces sperm counts in rabbits.
  • Nonhormonal pill: Research shows a non-hormonal compound called CDB-4022 prevents monkey sperm from swimming to their destination. Upon stopping treatment, fertility returned completely in 16 weeks, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. But the safety of the drug still needs to be tested.

Theres already a "pill for guys", I saw something like it on TV. Immersing the testicles in sufficiently hot water for a sufficient amount of time daily will make the sperm count effectively zero.

I'm sure that's effective.

yes, it is effective. But also time-consuming. But its also painless and all-natural.

You should volunteer to test these new drugs. They'll probably let you shag a shitload of women during the trials.

Hmmmmm. Does that mean that I can deduct my hot tub as a 'medical device'?

The only problem I see with the idea of a pill for men is what happens if it is permanent? Right now the one drug I know about is the SARM and the reducing of sperm is a side effect of taking the drug, while this shows promise, no study has yet been undertaken to see if the effects are reversible.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles

The problem I see is a large increase in STD's from the decrease in men using condoms.
