Women Could Take ‘On-Demand’ Contraceptive Right Before Sex, Researchers Find

Researchers have discovered an exciting new form of “on-demand” birth control for women. Experts from Stanford University had “promising results” when using a combination of the morning-after pill and an arthritis drug to “disrupt ovulation at peak fertility.” According to the study, the birth control option taken orally just before sex “may be the best candidate” for last-minute contraceptive.

The results concluded that the drug combination can interrupt ovulation “when conception risk is highest,” but noted that more research is necessary. Current birth control methods often include unreliable options for women resulting in hormone imbalances and other undesirable side effects. The new method is especially timely as recent laws across the country are restricting access to abortion.

New Study Shows Positive Results From Male Birth Control Pill

Image Source: .flickr.com/photos/jaunedeau/Clinical trials completed at Los Angeles Biomed Research Institute and the University of Washington suggest that a male birth control pill could be safe and effective. Male birth control has been difficult because men produce up to 1500 sperm per second. But with this new study, it seems male options for pregnancy prevention are finally expanding.

While the pill is not yet FDA approved, clinical trials have shown the pill to be effective. The pills reduce hormones for sperm production, but have no negative effects on sex drive. More research needs to be done—and it could be another ten years before male birth control pills are on the market—but things seem to be on the up and up (no pun intended) for male contraceptive.

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!

Male Birth Control Pill Shows Promise In Early Trials

best_phone_sex_niteflirt_menMale birth control pills could soon become a reality. Early clinical trials show that a new pill called DMAU, which combines the hormones androgen and pregestin, could bring sperm count low enough to prevent a man from getting his partner pregnant. “Many men say they would prefer a daily pill as a reversible contraceptive, rather than long-acting injections or topical gels, which are also in development,” explained the study’s lead researcher.

In the past, male birth control pills caused serious medical problems for men, including liver inflammation and toxicity. But so far, that doesn’t seem to be the case with this drug. “Condoms are the only practical reversible form of male contraception — and it is more than 300 years old,” the researcher pointed out. This is great news for men who are tired of condoms, and who’ve reported preferring taking an oral contraception rather than an injection or implant.

Successful Male Contraceptive Gel Trial Bodes Well For New Form of Birth Control 

bieberA success trial in male contraceptive gel has yielded promising results for a new form of birth control. The product, Vasalgel, is a completely reversible, less invasive form of vasectomy, and the latest study in primates has proven 100% effective at preventing pregnancy. It works by injecting a blob of gel into the sperm-carrying tube (vas deferens), which then acts as a long-lasting barrier, much like the IUD for women.

The procedure, which can be easily reversed by flushing out the gel with a simple solution, would create one of the only viable options for reliable and reversible male contraception that we’ve seen in decades. Since the procedure does not interfere with sperm production and hormone levels, there are no side-effects—sperm production continues, “but rather than being ejaculated, it dissolves and is naturally absorbed by the body,” explains the Guardian. Scientists are confident that, “Chances are, it’s going to be effective in humans.” A human trial is expected to start soon.

Studies Reveal The Link Between Sex Drive and Birth Control 

Two studies published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine finally put to bed the myth that birth control can kill a woman’s sex drive. While it’s true that some women do experience a lower sex drive on the Pill, researchers concluded that several factors are more important when it comes to a woman’s libido. Researchers focused on women in long-term, monogamous, heterosexual relationships, and measured their desire for solo sex versus their desire for sex with a partner to see how their relationship choices affected their sex drive in conjunction with being on birth control.

The study found that women on non-hormonal birth control had a higher solitary sex drive and that women on hormonal birth control had a higher desire for sex with a partner. It also found that, “while birth control did have an effect on sex drive for some women, relationship length and age were much stronger predictors of sexual desire than the type of contraception a woman was on,” reports Bustle. Researchers admit that drawing conclusions about women’s desire can be tricky, but that the study ultimately “sheds light on how different types of contraception can affect our sexual appetite and desire.”

Men Pull Out Of Male Birth Control Trial After Experiencing Side Effects 

condomsFor a while there, it seemed male birth control was right on the horizon. But a new hormonal birth control trial for men was cut short recently after participants reported side effects. Even though the male contraceptive was found to effectively prevent pregnancy, side effects like depression, weight gain, acne, headaches, and changes in mood—things women have encountered since the pill’s inception in the 1960s—led several men to pull out of testing.

The four-year worldwide study of 320 men found that an injection of progestin and a synthetic form of testosterone stopped pregnancy in 96% of female partners in monogamous heterosexual relationships. But the trial was stopped for “safety reasons” after 20 participants dropped out due to side effects—even though nearly 39% of the symptoms reported were unrelated to the shot. As women all over social media have pointed out, these side effects are the very same ones that women have experienced for 60 years. One person on Twitter said, “So male contraception can’t be put in place because 6% experience side effects, yet 50% of women experience side effects from contraception.” Thanks, guys—looks like it’s back to rubbers again!

Introducing the New and Improved Modern Diaphragm

The Caya is the new, modern diaphragm that’s reinvigorating an old form of contraception for women. Its look—lilac, with a sleek design like most high-end sex toys—is part of the appeal for younger women looking for a good birth control option. Gone are the days when a diaphragm looked like something your grandmother would use in the 1940s with its putty color and bulky shape. In fact, since IUD’s and the pill became popular, the diaphragm has widely gone out of style since most think of it as something passé and old-fashioned. That’s why Caya was designed: to provide a birth control option that women might actually want to use.

“A 2012 study from the Guttmacher Institute found that 24 percent of women in the developing world who wanted an option for birth control weren’t using any form, because nothing met their needs,” explains The Atlantic. Since most birth control methods are hormonal, many women have opted not to rely on the most readily available kinds, like the pill and the ring. Enter: Caya. It was designed to break the stigma that diaphragms are only something for grandmas. The makers say, “….the old ones look a bit like shriveled pantyhose. They’re fleshy looking and saggy, while the Caya, in its plasticky purpleness, looks like a Barbie accessory.” Caya is smaller, squishier, made of easy to fold silicone, and easy to grip bubbles for seamless removal. And most importantly, Caya is reintroducing a younger generation to a tried-and-try method of birth control.

Male Birth Control, Without Condoms, Here by 2017

Vasalgel, the first ever reversible, non-hormonal birth control for men is coming (pun intended!) your way by 2017. So far, it’s been successful in animal studies (no baboons knocked up yet!), and human trials of the drug are expected to begin by next year. Vasalgel will cost less than the price of a flat screen TV, and is perfect for guys who want to have lots and lots of sex without any of the risk. Here’s how it works:

best_phone_sex_niteflirt_men

Unlike most types of female birth control, Vasalgel is non-hormonal and only requires one dose to be effective for a long period of time. It’s similar to a vasectomy, except it’s non-invasive and totally reversible: with a vasectomy, the dude’s “vas deferens” (or sperm-maker) is cut; with Vasalgel, a polymer contraceptive is injected directly into the vas deferens instead of simply severing it, which blocks any cum trying to make its way into the baby-making zone. The polymer can also be flushed out with a second injection at any time if the guy decides he wants his sperm to swim again, and the polymer in no way disrupts a dude’s ability to produce jizz—it simply blocks it, like a dam plugging up a sea of cum. Incredible!
