Male Birth Control Options

4Male Birth Control Shot

There are many male birth control injections under research. Among these, RISUG is a promising option for preventing pregnancy. It is a minimally invasive and non-hormonal shot that can be effective for a decade. Clinical studies have suggested that this method can be up to 99 percent effective. RISUG works by injecting a polymer gel into the vas deferens to damage the tails and heads of the sperm and make them infertile. The good news is that it is possible to reverse these effects. In addition, there seems to be no other side effects.  [5]

Outercourse

Outercourse refers to sexual activities that can bring pleasure without the risk of pregnancy. These may include using a vibrator, mutual masturbation, or oral sex. The key is that there is no contact between the semen and the vagina, thus allowing no chance of getting pregnant. However, there may be a risk of some sexually transmitted infections, especially when you come in direct contact with bodily fluids, such as vaginal fluid and semen. [6]
