Male contraceptives are here, they're just on the cusp of being approved for widespread use... but as equality minded as I am, I'm not sure I would pick up on it. They're basically designed to shut you down just like anabolic steroids do, but without the anabolic effect. All the negatives, none of the fun. I'd rather just take anabolic steroids at that point. To be clear, I've never supported any partner of mine to be on the pill either, and I wouldn't take it if I was a woman.

There's also Vasalgel, a contraceptive under development since 2010 that is, well, a gel that is inserted in the vase where sperm passes through, and it's supposed to be long-lasting while still reversible. I don't know if it's legit or if it will ever actually work, and I haven't followed their progress, but they have a Twitter and a mailing list. If anyone has summarized info on the state of things, I'd love to know. https://www.parsemus.org/humanhealth/vasalgel/ https://www.parsemus.org/humanhealth/vasalgel/
