Could this be it?
We're one step closer to finally having male birth control on the market, thanks to a promising new study that found one short-term prototype to be super successful in immobilizing sperm — in mice, at least.details how a new drug, which would be taken just before sex acts and act as a medicinal prophylactic of sorts, was literally 100 percent effective in lab studies on mice.
The experimental medication in question is a short-term version of what's known as a soluble adenylyl cyclase inhibitor, which essentially makes sperm stop swimming. While there have been studies about sAC inhibitors being used "" this paper focuses on an oral medication to be taken by men that would only slow their swimmers for a short amount of time.
As the study notes, that short-term infertility window is crucial to the pill's effectiveness. Within a time span of about 2.5 hours, the sAC inhibitor was 100 percent effective in the lab mice that were given the drug, and was still 91 percent effective at the 3.5 hour mark.both point out that thus far, male contraception research has stalled because, well, men are kind of wimpy.
