Researchers plan to start human trials with the pill next year, and estimate that it could be available to the public in as little as three years. One of the major concerns about developing an effective pill-based form of male contraception is that men might be less likely to remember to take it every day. Yet, should it prove effective in humans, men would only need to take this tablet once a month or once every three months.
Considering my husband forgets to take his cholesterol pill almost every other day, they may have a point.
I firmly believe that reproduction decisions should involve both partners, but giving men control over reproduction in a way that is reversible and doesn't involve condoms will be a huge help. Since it's non-hormonal (it works by blocking the production of a key protein for sperm production, rendering every single lil' swimmer into a sitting duck), the concerns about gynomastica and androgens should be a moot point.
