A gel injected into the scrotum could be the next male contraceptive::Biotech company Contraline has safely implanted a sperm-blocking hydrogel in 23 men. It’s designed to be a fully reversible vasectomy.
They should call it balltox
Scrotox
I appreciate you
Uhhh how about we keep looking, fellas?
If inserting a stabby piece of plastic and copper into a uterus is fine, maybe pumping some gel into your balls is fine, too.
We treat women like it’s their problem to solve while treating our family jewels like actual untouchable treasure. Save some squirt and get a vasectomy.
Was a joke dude
I mostly assumed, but I hear that attitude from men all the time. After I got my vasectomy most of my partner’s husbands were like, “Oh no way I’d never do that. To my balls? Nah. My wife’s got an IUD.”
For sure, sorry if I was rude. I just don’t like needles
Maybe keep working at it.
men are huge babies at the best of times, you will never convince more than a fraction of them to take a needle to the balls
On the other hand, they will do anything to get pussy
Vasectomy is pretty widespread though and on the rise. If it’s really like a reversible vasectomy, as it is described in the article, I am pretty sure that a lot of men would do it.
Honestly the scrotal lidocaine injections for a vasectomy weren’t bad. A very unnatural sensation but no worse than a needle in the arm.
Getting hit in the balls is a lot more painful than a vasectomy in most case.
I’d take the vasectomy “pain” over getting hit in the balls any day of the week
lol, balls
So, Vasalgel from a different company. I honestly don’t understand why this isn’t a product yet. Getting a vasectomy is so difficult as there’s still a lot of prejudice and because it’s seen a permanent. Urologists, maybe even the conservative ones would be willing to use it as it wouldn’t interfere with the traditional views of “men have to make babies! it’s a man’s duty!” that much.
Inject that shit straight into my balls
Pass.
Needles and scrotums…. Yeahhhh no!
