Male Birth Control (Vasalgel)
It's called Vasalgel, the non-hormonal birth control touts similar results as a vasectomy, but won't stay permanent.
Could be available by 2017.
Quote:
A gel is injected into the vas deferens (the tube the sperm swim through), rather than cutting the vas (as is done in vasectomy). If a man wishes to restore flow of sperm, whether after months or years, the polymer is flushed out of the vas with another injection.
In other words, just one shot (a single treatment) could put more control of preventing unplanned pregnancy in guys' hands, er, penises. The researchers have tested the method on baboons, who were given six months of access to female baboons, and so far, not one has fell pregnant. Soon, researchers will move on to testing on humans, where they'll get a more definite answer.

"Just one shot" - sounds easy but terrifying at the same time.

I'd like to volunteer for the human trials and get 6 months of access to female humans.
S/O won't be impressed but it's all in the name of science.

But your policy on punching a hole in it and then burning something closed gets the go ahead?

Well. For something not designed for women or vaginas it has a terrible name.
The marketing department really dropped the balls on this one.

I remember when I got my balls cut off.
I went to the Vasman, highlights:
- free cookie and juice (I took two cookies)
- Who the hell puts a vasectomy clinic on the second floor with the only access a steep set of stairs
I went back to him approx 3-4 days later, due to complications. He is sitting in his chair and I standing there with my junk hanging out. By this point my balls were the colour of purple plums. He grabs then and squeezes and asks if it hurst!!

It should have been named "Erektor". That's a product I would stand in line to inject myself with.

True.. not ideal. The anesthetic is delivered VIA this crazy air puff gun which is better than a needle.
As for complications. I had none. Most do not report complications, it is just that the ones that do speak louder.
Would rather this than having to shell out another $740k for a kid.
