An injection for men appears to be just as effective at preventing pregnancy as the birth control pill, finds new research that could revolutionize contraception.
The contraceptive is a form of testosterone that is injected into the buttocks once a month. It works by temporarily blocking sperm production.
They found the contraceptive was almost 99 per cent effective, with a failure rate of only 1.1 per 100 men.
There were no serious side effected reported in any of the men, unlike previous studies on hormonal male contraceptive. Some of the side effects of those formulations have been mood swings and a lowered sex drive.

Don't know if this should go into a new thread
This seems very promising and it would be the male equivalent to the pill for women.
The article does not say whether this drug was tested on animals...
