The procedure called RISUG in India (reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance) takes about 15 minutes with a doctor, is effective after about three days, and lasts for 10 or more years. A doctor applies some local anesthetic, makes a small pinhole in the base of the scrotum, reaches in with a pair of very thin forceps, and pulls out the small white vas deferens tube. Then, the doctor injects the polymer gel (called Vasalgel here in the US), pushes the vas deferens back inside, repeats the process for the other vas deferens, puts a Band-Aid over the small hole, and the man is on his way. If this all sounds incredibly simple and inexpensive, that’s because it is. The chemicals themselves cost less than the syringe used to administer them. But the science of what happens next is the really fascinating part.

...

With one little injection, this non-toxic jelly will sit there for 10+ years without you having to do anything else to not have babies. Set it and forget it. Oh, and when you do decide you want those babies, it only takes one other injection of water and baking soda to flush out the gel, and within two to three months, you’ve got all your healthy sperm again.

Birth control for men is a bad idea. Men can't be trusted with that sort of stuff. This thread kinda shows why.

What a bunch of pussies you guys sound like!

That said, as long as the long term effectiveness of it is proven AND there are no nasty side effects - like the gel plug moving up to your urethra where it becomes something like a kidney stone, then this sounds fantastic.

Honestly with all the health risks associated with birth control pills, and the possible ones with IUDs and of course the diminished enjoyment from condoms, I honestly can't imagine a better scenario than this procedure, ESPECIALLY for you married folk who don't have to worry about STDs.

I'm not sure if your'e serious with this post, but there is a grain of truth to it, and given the way fatherhood is handled by the courts these days: entrapment or not, you're on the hook and treated like a 3rd class citizen whose sole responsibility is to provide money, what you're saying is valid - whether you mean it or not.

Only for women who've already had kids.

For all the bitching you guys do about pain, remember that the stuff women go through not to have kids can be painful, too. Getting your tubes tied, IUD, etc. are not exactly pain-free procedures in happy places either.

True enough. It's not a substitute for female birth control, because men are way too unreliable, but it might be a good way to protect yourself as a male if you're dating psycho women.

So you're saying a woman having to take a pill every day is more reliable than a man having to get an injection ONCE every 10 years? tongue Not that I completely disagree, but...

The thing is, if the man screws up, he doesn't get pregnant. The woman does.

You should never trust someone else with your birth control. I suppose that goes both ways and so both parties should get it done. But ultimately the person who's actually the one who's going to get pregnant naturally is going to be in a better position.

If you want to trust a man to make sure you don't get pregnant go for it but that strikes me as an awful stupid thing to do.

A card in your wallet with the date of your injection is a pretty easy thing to carry. Takes less space than a condom.
