> Currently, the only control option that permits unprotected sex is a vasectomy This isn't really true. Despite getting disparaged often - pulling out is an effective form of birth control (If done correctly, only slightly less effective than condoms: 96%). Combined with tracking periods and being extra careful around ovulation dates, it works quite well. Even if we assume improper methods in real world conditions, it's still about 75% effective. It's not a method I recommend for casual encounters, but with a long term partner you trust - it can be extremely effective without the downsides of other birth control.
