A non-hormonal, reversible and non-toxic male birth control could be a step closer, with scientists successfully targeting a protein that's crucial in making fertile sperm. Knocking this protein out for a period of time would give men control over their protection window, much like oral…

    It’s a shame that male birth control has been so much more difficult to develop

    Nah, condoms exist since ages and has many other benefits.

        Truly, this is the most effective form of birth control.

      Condoms + another birth control is more effective then just condoms

            Literally can literally be used metaphorically:

            The use of literally in a fashion that is hyperbolic or metaphoric is not new—evidence of this use dates back to 1769.

            So getting upset about the way a word has been used since before the founding of the US is literally the dumbest thing someone could be mad about. 😁

      Give me the swim team hiatus pill I can take before getting the penis brain, please and thanks.
