The major complication for it has been that no pharma wants to invest in it, likely because if doesn’t have good profit potential.
It is a one-time ‘shot’ of a physical gel that blocks the vas deferens (sperm channel) and is fully reversible simply by being flushed out again.
However, since it is not an ongoing monthly profit ahem, prescription, there is not a lot of money to be made.
No hormones, no pills, fully reversible, simply blocks the sperm exactly like a vasectomy, just very easily reversed. It can all be done in clinic with a syringe (perhaps tho the syringe will be a blocker for some men)
Capitalism and religion, with maybe a little bit of ‘public health’ thrown in
There’s strong bias against contraception in general from some religious groups, and it is strongest against the “easier” forms. For example, among Catholics technically ALL contraception is forbidden, but condoms are more acceptable than an IUD, both of which are considered by some sects to be ‘abortifacient’ — on the theory that it merely prevents a fertilized egg from implanting on the uterine wall.
So condoms are ‘better’ because it is a barrier method.
The only Catholic-approved BC is abstinence of course.
Public Health also has a strong bias towards condoms, because of their protection against STIs. Of course, actual proper condom use is… inconsistent at best for most people.
Anyhow, the easiest and least intrusive methods of BC are usually viewed with the most suspicion and disapproval from all sides, and Vasagel/RISUG is like… the most extreme example of that.
It is:
relatively inexpensive
extremely effective
one-time clinic visit
fully reversible, with no recovery period
impossible to forget or accidentally nullify
Unfortunately none of these factors endear it to the capitalists, the puritans, or the public-health hand-wringers*
*To be clear, i support public health goals, but the AIDS crisis has put a strong and lasting emphasis/insistence that condoms are the only way
Not in your dong, the only thing in there is the urethra, and unless you never want to pee again you don’t want to block that. The injection would probably be somwhere close to where you would cut the sperm duct in a vasectomy.
It’s not like they haven’t tried. Most men would love to be able to ensure they don’t get snared. 😉
The best option all around that I’ve seen is Vasagel, which is the western development based on RISUG which was a successful Indian trial

So once again, it’s capitalism. Surprise surprise.
Yea it’s pretty clear.

Is the syringe in the dong? Because that’s a beeg no for me. I’m not squeamish around needles but am squeamish about the dong and dings.

I mean it seems about equally as invasive as an IUD. I bet people could get used to the concept.
I wasn’t talking about people.
I’m talking about me.
I don’t want needles (or any sharp objects) close to my genitals.
Well, I’ve not had it since it isn’t available yet.
But I get what you mean about the needles in the dong.
But most likely, the needle is through the side of the scrote, which might not be much better.
Probably best to just not watch.
It is less invasive than a vasectomy, since it’s a needle and not a scalpel, but ofc it’s not as simple as a pill
On the other hand, it’s one-and-done and nevermore worried about unwanted paternity claims.
So get a vasectomy or don’t stick in raw, dumbass
Nothing is 100% and vasectomies are rarely reversible
Pill isn’t 100% either, and a hysterectomy is completely irreversable
Just saying I would have loved to have had a male pill back in the day. Vasectomy completed after 2 kids.
Vasectomies are 85% success in reversing. I got one, highly recommend
Imagine if the pill had a 15% chance of infertility. Nobody would take it.
Yeah, well there’s always kids that need parents to adopt them. The culture of having a nuclear family needs to end.
Just what we need more teen pregnancies. Btw there are over 100,000 children in the U.S.—waiting to be adopted by a permanent family
and also they’re not 100%
They’re 100% of the doctors start doing them like they do at the vets office.
Then you have to spend the rest of your life on HRT. And not having balls probably causes a lot of cis men dysphoria.
