I just use my personality. Seems simpler.
I thought it was your looks?
Recently, the smell.
Ooo that’s rare.
In my case it is even easier. I’m short, so I am invisible to women.
Dude I am an ogre who looks borderline homeless and when the Goodwill cashier saw my points balance her eyes lit up and said “you’re rich” and she was chatty Cathy for the whole transaction.
Don’t be short, be rich!
Not if you’re also loooong.

We need this just because Republicans would never tell a straight white man what to do with his body…
And any birth control is better than none, for the periods we can’t have all methods.
…in mice, after massive, cancer-causing doses, probably.
I’m tired of hearing about this shit. Put it to market or stop talking about it.
Yeah just push it out to public. Just like they did with women’s contraceptives.
Summary:
Scientists at Cornell University may be closing in on the long-sought “holy grail” of male contraception: a safe, reversible, nonhormonal method that completely halts sperm production. In a breakthrough mouse study, researchers used a compound called JQ1 to temporarily shut down meiosis—the critical process that produces sperm—without causing lasting harm. After treatment stopped, sperm production bounced back, fertility returned, and the animals produced healthy offspring.
They have no real idea what harm it may cause. Sterilizing people with an unknown method and promising it’s ‘reversible’ is capitalist propaganda.
Didn’t they figure that out with Vasalgel?
If it did, you’d think it would be promoted, like at all. I never hear about it.
I was a donor to that project, and right now I think there are still concerns about the long-term reversibility. The project isn’t dead but I doubt we will see it as a readily available option for the public within the next decade, if ever.
They’ve had something similar available for years. It’s a small plastic square about the size of a lego brick. You put it in your shoe and it makes you limp
Why does the egg look like that??
this is way less reversible than they claim
Excellent. Now all those “but I can’t get a vasectomy” guys have another option. Beyond time to put the onus for not reproducing on the male side of the equation.
Can’t get a vasectomy if you plan having kids.
But actual issue is no, we do not have another option, because this study has been done on mice, so even if it would actually happen it would take easily 10 years before it would go to market.
What’s worse is that it won’t happen. Google RISUG, Smart RISUG, Vasalgel and Plan A.
These are simple polymers that are injected into the vas deferens of a man and stay there for years up to decades, making the man sterile. It’s easily reversible, has no side effects and just disables fertility. And it’s been blocked by pharma companies since the 70s, because it would cost them massive amounts of money if women wouldn’t need to pay for expensive and short-lasting contraception methods.
The situation that only women have access to decent methods of contraception sucks, and the most infuriating part is that it doesn’t have to be, but because it would cost some rich assholes money, they purposely keep the situation as is.
Believe me, most men would much prefer to have access to good methods of contraception, but we are essentially stuck at the same level since the 1920s.
Can’t get a vasectomy if you plan having kids.
In recent years it seems that vasecomy reversal it getting better and better; it could be not that far in the future when the vasectory would not be considered permanent.
If the figure out how to have dry orgasms again, that would be dope
Easier to target one egg cell than millions of sperm germ cells.
