Male Birth Control Pill Appears to be On Its Way
If it works in mice, scientists think that it can work in men as well. A new drug called JQ1 has been found to cut down the sperm count in mice, according to a new study. Also, just like the female birth control pill, the drop in fertility was reversible.
This work is a ground-breaking step toward the development of a birth control pill for men.
“We have only observed full recovery of fertility in treated males,” according to researchers from Baylor College of Medicine as published in journal Cell. “We envision that our discoveries can be completely translated to men, providing a novel and efficacious strategy for a male contraceptive.”
JQ1 stops sperm production in the testes, which keeps the little critters from fertilizing anyone’s eggs. The drug has also been found to be safe in humans. This is a huge step when it has been found that as many of a third of all pregnancies are unintended and millions of children are abandoned by parents without the ability or desire to care for them.
Doctors say that some men may not be receptive to having their sperm count reduced.
“Sperm-making is a pretty delicate thing, and people do seem to have a concept of that,” Dr. Joseph Alukal, director of male reproductive health at New York University’s Langone Medical Center, told ABCNews.com. “How long did it take for women to get comfortable with the reversibility of the birth control pill? I’m not sure.”
The doctor does think that relative to other options, some men may be more than happy to take a pill to keep from having babies when they aren’t ready.
“If you look at vasectomy, there are plenty of men in committed relationships who choose to take onus of reproductive planning on themselves,” Alukal said. “I think the same sorts of people would choose to look into something like this.”
For those who get too excited about the study, please remember that this has nothing to do with reducing the rate of STD infection. So, when sleeping with someone you’re not sure to be 100% safe, you probably still need to wrap it up. But is anyone safe these days? A lot of people are catching STDs from their spouses.

Why continue to submit to eugenics? When the profit motive kicks in and men come down with cancers from the drug then we will realize that a wrong choice was made. s*x is for making babies.
Pills are for making the drug companies rich and reducing the numbers of those who are not rich. It is God who decides how many babies you will have if you have the courage to realize that
many generations can come from one being. Did you ever wonder why God is expanding the universe? Birth control is the denial of God. Just because we can does not mean that we should. Real birth control is being healthy enough to give birth to healthy children. Anything else is the application of death.
spoken like a true catholic…REALITY is that the current society of US taxpayers cannot AFFORD these babies that their own parents don’t even want to take care of…men need a condom which would work if they actually USED it…meanwhile millions of $$$ being poured into R&D to make a pharm company very rich…SIGH…
Modern Science seems to find ways to destroy life on one hand with contraceptives, condoms and drugs, while on the other they are trying to stockpile male sperm to reproduce life.
At some point people may wake up and see how population control may be the new means of controlling human life on this planet, or profits from drug sales. Even Cancer was cured over a century ago and the non-drug means have beed suppressed.
Male Contraception,what is the true meaning?

Good, no more baby daddy’s. I am sick of seeing children suffering from neglect because teens are producing children they cannot afford to feed, house and educate. (30 and 40 yr grand parents) and it gets worse year by year.
We now have a generation of very ignorant and poor people and NO child should live that way. Leave them with GOD!
Thank God someone has some sense. Bring this pill on! The same people arguing that the pill is a conspiracy are the same one that refuse to support child support, welfare and every social system that takes care of poor children who in some if not most cases; are not from two parent homes.
Jeanine, that is a great point you make concerning those who are against birth control are also the same people who bemoan the welfare system/social systems that are paid via taxation of their wallets to fund the well-being of poor neglected children by non-two parent homes. Can’t have it both ways is the moral.
Trust me a new “drug” isn’t going to stop dead beat men and women from having kids….it’s still going to happen. As long as people act in an irresponsible manner, nothing will change that. Look at all the other contraceptives that are available to us and yet we still have kids being born in a single parent or no parent home in some cases.
I’m on the fence with this.. On 1 hand I like that men have a choice to reproducecas thete are alot of women who seek to get pregnant by especially the athletes and stars!
On the other hand the men who don’t take it (the thugs, no job having wanna be gansta) are who shouldn’t reproduce as they are idiots who believe in reproduction.. having tons of baby momma is a notch on their belt.
It is a good thing it allows choice beyond a women’s body but the couple. Plenty of men are said to make babies without responsability but now that responsibility can be shares by both condemns sound good but they do not stop people from having sec. I think the missing point is when one does not know that god only allows man to discover science when it is time any pill or device you use everyday was the invention of man through gods willpower nothing else. I do not think allot of women will like it because when there are ovulating it is a desire to create life men will use this product and unwanted pregnancy will.vastly reduce and the power to create life can go back to the union of man and women choosing to have a child rather then one parent just wantng wanting it. If you can’t handle progress i think you should leave America. Abortions alone will probably drop 50 then when the generic comes 70. This product will out sell v****a.
According to Dr. Dan Purser, MD (look him up on the internet), contraceptives for women increase the risk of cancer by 200%.
(He stated this in a lecture I attended). There are many reasons why cancer is on the uprise, but toxins (including toxic over the counter and prescription meds) are THE reason. I know the situation is desperate concerning unwanted children, but this is not the answer, in my opinion. More drugs…geez. This is a step in the wrong direction.
It is a piece of paper with the words: “f**k off, you ugly c**t!” written on it.
it’s about time
A REAL MAN will not put these chemi(kills) in their bodies! Anytime a pill can cut off the sperm from making a baby, just think what it is doing to the other parts of your body!
And y’all wonder why you have all these dis-eases! This medication is KILLING y’all. I got a friend, who had his joint cut; now he has Parkinson’s dis-ease!!!
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO WRAP UP YOUR ‘JEWELS’ WHEN HAVING s*x, THEN START DIGGIN’ YOUR GRAVE!!!
THE ONLY SAFE s*x IS NO s*x!!! THE AIDS VIRUS CAN SEEP THROUGH CONDOMS!!!
Everything that is ‘white’ kills US!!!

To all of those who say “bring this pill on”, I would say, look at history. First the Dakota tribe and the small pox ladened blankets. Next the syphillis experiments in the 1930s. And just lately, all the women who were sterilized in North Carolina. How many generations can be wiped out with just a few well placed dosages in pre-chosen [GUESS WHO DUMMIES] neighborhoods/races/countries. Time to wake up and smell the coffee folks.
The W. H O. [WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION] should file suit to prevent this type of pill to be even made. Once the damage is done, it’s irreversible. Or in medical parlance, YOU DON’T GIVE A DEAD MAN PLASMA AND EXPECT HIM TO WALK. Or maybe it will be the begiinning of a new form of man, one that will satisfy a “newly enlarging society” that does not believe in pro-creation.
These new form of contra(against)ceptive , are design to curtail the darker people of the planet earth. But know matter how often they (wicked scientist) , come with this cynical thoughts to depopulate , were they can’t reproduce , you can never annilate from whence they came forth. The Original Man
WE already have birth control that people don’t even use! lol
People lack common sense now a days to use them so why create another pointless drug. Not to mention what are the side effects of this drug? They are always trying to push out some new drug when they should be busy finding the cure to cancer. For me I don’t take birth control because that s**t is dangerous. IF you look up the side effects to the birth control pill you will see what I am talking about!! I also don’t have any kids either….it’s called being smart and not laying down with everyone. Be responsible with your own life for a change and make better decisions. That’s all people need to do but of course some just don’t give a d**n.
great, now they can stop all those golddigging hoothchies from having Kids on purpose so they can keep on robbing men through child-support payments…the party is over all you Bit-hes
