New Study Shows Positive Results From Male Birth Control Pill

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.

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.”

Women Try Female Condoms For the First Time

For most women, the female condom is a mysterious and often scary form of contraception. It’s huge, has two rings at either ends, and can only be described as slimy. For this reason, Buzzfeed made a new video asking women to try the intimidating female condom for the first time. Here’s what they said (check out the hilarious video below).

When the women first opened the package, one remarked that it looked “like an elephant condom.” They also immediately noticed how well lubricated the female condom is: “very slimy.” Then, they tried inserting it, pinching the smaller end with the index fingers and sliding it inside. And as you can imagine, not all of the responses were positive: “it feels like a trash can bag inside of my pussy,” said one woman. Another woman had trouble with hers “popping back out.” Insertion hassles aside, what was sex like with a female condom? The reviews weren’t exactly glowing—“sort of felt like a Ziploc bag,” said one woman. A few said that the guys they were with liked it, but as one woman explained, most women probably wouldn’t be thrilled about using the female condom unless “you’re doing a double dick.”

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.
