Summary

Male contraception research has yielded a number of promising leads over the past 50 years. Yet, little is known by the public due to lack of institutional support and funding. This is unfortunate since, apart from condom and vasectomy, there are many male methods which may be safer, more effective and easier to use. This paper explores male contraception which has been used in the past and the present and discusses some of its potential developments.
