    Maybe it works as post-birth control,too.

    Could This Male Contraceptive Pill Make A Vas Deferens In The Fight Against HIV?

    all the fun with none of the mess? hrmmmm...

    First of all, I won?t apologize for the pun in the title. Secondly, it seems my first male contraceptive article stirred up a lot of controversy about the hypothetical anti-HIV properties of RISUG (shared from a journal named, appropriately, Medical Hypotheses). After speaking with the makers of the U.S. version, they mentioned that although this hypothesis might be a stretch, they?re currently encouraging production of a different male contraceptive that could potentially reduce or eliminate transmission of all semen-borne STDs (including HIV) precisely because of the way it works. Just in case you missed that, they did indeed say all semen-borne STDs.

    Say hello to the ?clean sheets? pill ? another non-hormonal option for male birth control that?s on the horizon in the UK, albeit at a much earlier stage of development than RISUG/Vasalgel. To cut right to the chase, it?s affectionately dubbed the ?clean sheets? pill due to the fact that it inhibits release of any semen whatsoever by relaxing the longitudinal muscles of the Wolffian duct system while still permitting the circular muscles to contract, resulting in a sphincter action of the circular muscles on the lax longitudinal ones so they clamp down on the tubes carrying sperm and semen. Because all fluids are stopped before emission, that means they remain where they are (no retrograde ejaculation into the bladder, etc) and are recycled by the body as naturally as in total abstinence.

    Basically, you get all of the feel-good with none of the mess.

    No mess means no babies. But the bigger ?mess? that?s stopped is transmission of HIV. To quote Elaine Lissner, the Director of Medical Research Programs at the Parsemus Foundation, ?To contraceptive funders, this seems like just another male pill lead in a crowded field, but for HIV transmission prevention, there?s nothing like it.?

    The other good news? There are potentially several different ways this product can be delivered. It?s currently being posited by its two inventors, Drs. Nnaemeka Amobi and Christopher Smith, that a pill taken two to three hours before intercourse would have the effects dissipate within 16-24 hours, not unlike the timing of the ever-popular Viagra. Or the doctors suggest that men could have round-the-clock protection with a small time-release rod implanted just under the skin like Implanon (but without the hormonal drama).

    What?s the bad news? Funding. Right now, with only $300,000 to go, the project is literally a Kickstarter away from the next step in the process. But it?s been sitting that way for over six years now. For a lot of drugs, this is fairly normal because of how uncertain things can be at this stage in the process. But according to Dr. Amobi, he and his colleagues have already ?modified the prototypes and expect greater than 95 percent efficacy? at the start of the next round of testing and ?total inhibition of semen (100 percent) by the end? of that, given that both of the parent compounds are proven to provide the ?dry? effect 100 percent of the time. Then, the FDA approval process could begin with clinical studies on animals and then humans.

    Right now, this little pill is stopped dead in its tracks. The money each year for contraceptive research is limited and most of it goes to female contraceptives. When the economy took a dive recently, the Gates Foundation had their contraceptive development funding literally cut in half and unfortunately, it was male methods that got the boot. Parsemus Foundation has its hands full developing Vasalgel, and USAID would take on this venture if its budget wasn?t being slashed. Beyond that, a surprising percentage of people seem to think that condoms, IUDs, and hormonal birth control will be good enough for all of us forever (shudder). I?m personally horrified that with the current number of prospects, not a single method of male contraception has been supported to market past our current two options: condoms or having a vasectomy.

    Think about that for a moment.

    If you?ll forgive me for this sentence, I think the silver lining here could be HIV. Because as Lissner puts it, ?the yearly funding for HIV prevention absolutely dwarfs the funding for contraceptives.? If HIV prevention groups can get adamant about this pill?s strong possibility of limiting or preventing HIV transmission from men, this research could finally gain some much-needed traction.

    But you know who else can help? You. Right now. If you donate a buck or two right here, this pill WILL move forward to the next crucial step for the first time in over 6 years. It?s that simple. If you don?t, please share this page, sign this petition, and get the word out to people you love. And remember this last quote from Lissner:

    ?It?s not impossible to get a great drug to market, it just takes putting your mind and your money into it.?

    Vasalgel, a reversible, non-hormonal polymer that blocks the vas deferens, is about to enter human trials. How will rhetoric change when male bodies become responsible for birth control?

    Vasalgel, a reversible form of male birth control, just took one step closer to your vas deferens.

    According to a press release from the Parsemus Foundation, a not-for profit organization focused on developing low-cost medical approaches, Vasalgel is proving effective in a baboon study. Three lucky male baboons were injected with Vasalgel and given unrestricted sexual access to 10 to 15 female baboons each. Despite the fact that they have been monkeying around for six months now, no female baboons have been impregnated. With the success of this animal study and new funding from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Parsemus Foundation is planning to start human trials for Vasalgel next year. According to their FAQ page, they hope to see it on the market by 2017 for, in their words, less than the cost of a flat-screen television.

    So how does Vasalgel work? It is essentially a reimagining of a medical technology called RISUG (reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance) that was developed by a doctor named Sujoy Guha over 15 years ago in India, where it has been in clinical trials ever since. Unlike most forms of female birth control, Vasalgel is non-hormonal and only requires a single treatment in order to be effective for an extended period of time. Rather than cutting the vas deferens?as would be done in a vasectomy?a Vasalgel procedure involves the injection of a polymer contraceptive directly into the vas deferens. This polymer will then block any sperm that attempt to pass through the tube. At any point, however, the polymer can be flushed out with a second injection if a man wishes to bring his sperm back up to speed.

    The invasive vasectomy may be a thing of the past thanks to a new invention by German inventor Clemens Bimek. The new ?sperm switch? will allow men to turn off and on their fertility by simply flicking a switch inside of the scrotum.
    The sperm switch invention comes as many men try to take personal control of contraceptives instead of relying solely on women. From vasectomy surgery to male contraceptives, men are now being offered more forms of male birth control than ever before. The sperm switch is the latest of these inventions and is designed to allow men to decide if and when sperm reaches the penis during intercourse.

    The Daily Mail reports that men may soon have the option to turn their fertility off and on via a sperm switch invention. Many men are taking birth control into their own hands by opting for male contraceptives and vasectomies. However, a vasectomy is designed to be permanent and is sometimes irreversible. Therefore, men have to weigh the risks associated with the surgery and potential irreversibly with their desire for long-term infertility. However, with the sperm switch, called the Bimek SLV, men would no longer have to choose between long-term contraceptive options and potential infertility in the future, as the device would allow men to turn off and on fertility with the flick of a switch.
    So how exactly does the sperm switch work? According to the German inventor Clemens Bimek, the sperm switch works by diverting the flow of sperm back to the man?s testicles when switched on. The device is slated to be just as effective as a vasectomy without being permanent. If the user decided they would like to become fertile again, the man can simply switch the device off via a switch in the scrotum, and the sperm would again be allowed to be ejaculated.

    Its looking like pretty soon men can get a shot in the penis for 13 childless years but after seeing the way that men react to catheter insertions I would imagine that this is not going to be very popular
