A birth-control pill for men is now a reality, according to an international consortium of physicians who revealed their formula for "safe, effective and reversible" hormonal contraception for males.
The preparation includes progestin, a key ingredient found in women's birth-control pills, and the male sex hormone testosterone. Progestin, a synthetic version of a hormone produced in a woman's ovaries, helps suppress ovulation when used in an oral contraceptive. It appears to function in an analogous fashion for men, suppressing "both rate and extent" of sperm production.

This isn't new at all, I was researching this 3 years ago when I was with my ex ex ex lol. It's basically been tested at 100% efficiency and no recorded side effects (due to the addition of testosterone along with the female hormone) so it's just a matter of time before it becomes something we can actually go and get. I for one will love this because I hate condoms and love STDs but don't want kids with some random skank.
