11. wouldn't that be great.

you got me curious. 30 years ago I would have said it's close. I found a recent article:


Why Is There No Male Birth Control Pill?

Bet you didn't have this marked on your calendar: today is World Vasectomy Day, a holiday celebrated not with parades or fireworks, but with the delicate snip of two tiny tubes. But is such a largely permanent step really our only male birth control option? Where's the male version of the pill?

Surprisingly enough, research on oral contraceptives for both men and women kicked off more than a half century ago. The female variant was solved first, and has become a pillar of modern reproductive health; according to the CDC, nearly 82 percent of U.S. women surveyed between 2006 and 2010 used the pill, more than any other method by a long shot.

Meanwhile, a non-surgical, non-barrier form of male birth control eludes us, thanks to societal norms, squeamish pharmaceutical companies, and some confounding scientific challenges.
