It ain't like pharma ain't been trying to make male birth control pills. Lord knows they'd love the extra money.

But it turns out to be damn difficult to get right.

They have made it. Had human trials with effects that killed the trials.

Most of the men in the trials wanted to keep taking it so their partners didn't have to bear that burden alone.

They're referring to this one back in 2016, where the caveat was that it had the same side effects as women's birth control. Since the patient being prescribed isn't the one who will experience negative health outcomes without the medications, the harm of those side effects was deemed by researchers (not the patients themselves) to be greater than the risk of impregnating someone else.

Other hornonal options have come out since then, though not on the consumer market afaik, like this hormonal gel and this pill.

More recently (like earlier this year) its been done without hormones by blocking a vitamin A metabolite that signals the production of sperm.

Did you read the actual study or FDA report as to why they pulled the trial? High school level Americans fall for sensationalized articles and journalists report on things they are clueless about all the time

[–] causepix@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Idk I was 16 when that came out so actually high school level. Feel free to read the study yourself and correct me? Not sure what you're skeptical about tbh but the belittling is really uncalled for. You asked for a source and I gave one.

The point of sources is so you can see where the person got their information and personally verify what was said, not to unequivocally prove things true or false based on there being a credible source at all.

Yeah I was kind of an asshole. I’m sorry. I’ll work on that when I have more time to show you.
