Male Birth Control Gel Could Replace Condoms

Annas Your Escape01It seems rubbers could be replaced by gel in the near future. The National Institutes of Health is funding an experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of a gel that could be used as a male contraceptive, replacing condoms and vasectomies. The gel, called NES/T, includes progestin and testosterone, and is applied to the back and shoulders and absorbed through the skin.

The progestin blocks natural testosterone production in the testes, reducing sperm production to low or nonexistent levels, officials said. The replacement testosterone maintains normal sex drive and other functions that are dependent on adequate blood levels of the hormone, according to medical experts. “A safe, highly effective and reversible method of male contraception would fill an important public health need.” The future is now!
