thread_title: Radio-controlled 'tap' contraceptive

message: From what I've read lately there is a hormonal contraceptive almost ready to go onto the market, should this be mentioned in the article? cyclosarin (talk) 16:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

message: An interesting issue surrounding new methods of male contraception would be to determine whether they could ever contribute to reducing the number of abortions in countries where the abortion rate is especially alarming. It makes sense that if men don't ejaculate for chemical or environmental reasons, women would have much less chances of getting pregnant, and consequently of obtaining an abortion.

thread_title: Reduced abortion rates

message: Some of the material in Male oral contraceptive duplicates material here, and there isn't enough material there to form much of an article.  Since they both primarily cover experimental forms of male contraception, suggest that it be merged into this article.  Zodon (talk) 05:15, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Given that the more informative Gossypol article indicates the WHO has suggested ending research, should this be in the Abandoned Research section?

message: I'm seeing a claim that RISUG is different from Vasalgel in some way, but this is not what sources say.  Vasalgel is a brand name of RISUG, being tested and marketed in the USA.  As such, it should be mentioned as a form of RISUG, both here and in the RISUG article.  It's a polymer gel injected into the vas deferens, causing reversible sterility (bayer aspirin vs. generic aspirin comes to mind).  If the polymer gel is of a different formulation, that would be worth noting, but it hardly makes it a separate method.  If anyone can come up with enough material to write a separate article on Vasalgel that might also be good. Mwenechanga (talk) 00:12, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I would like to add a table showing the opinion of men around whether or not they would or would not take a male contraceptive,  I think it is important yet it is not included in the article.

thread_title:  Opinion poll 

message: Hello! I noticed that even though there is a discussion on the impact of the advancements with male contraceptives, there is not yet a mention of the cultural aspects and limits to male birth control access and the reliance (maybe percentages) of overall birth control on female contraceptives. This inclusion could help before the section of 'Impacts' to give better context for the current research and methods actively used. Milliedawg (talk) 02:26, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cultural Aspects 

message: There should be the inclusion of how accessible male birth control to people. Would be helpful for people seeking information on the subject to also be able to easily access information on where the methods are available, such as through organizations for free (maybe applicable to physical forms such as condoms) or whether it requires an appointment (more applicable for surgical methods) at a medical facility.

message: I have just removed a large paragraph discussing plants used historically for contraception, since almost none of the citations at all supported the claims being made, and most were just random citations to completely unrelated topics.  Some of the citations that were slightly related, upon closer inspection, actually listed the plants in question as aborifacients, which is significantly different.  I am copying the removed text below, in case someone else would like to do the necessary research into finding accurate citations for any of these claims.
"Contraceptives for use by men have been described in the writings of Antiqiuty. Dioscorides, ca. 40 A.D., described the contraceptive property of hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa) and rue (Ruta graveolens) in De Materia Medica, a text widely used into medieval times. One test in rats (20 milligrams of the 80% ethanol extract) found that these reduced sperm count by more than half. In medieval Persia (and in other traditions as cited) these herbs were used for male contraception, as well as Gossypium herbaceum (Malvaceae), Cyperus longus (Cyperaceae), Vitex pseudonegundo (Verbenaceae), Chenopodium ambrosioides (Chenopodiaceae), Aristolochia indica (Aristolochiaceae), Punica granatum (Punicaceae), and Sarcostemma acidum (Asclepiadaceae). However, the compound isolated from Gossypium, as well as other cotton seeds and okra (gossypol) has been abandoned for contraceptive use because it was found to cause permanent infertility in ten to twenty percent of users.
In Indian traditional medicine, uses of the neem tree were described in Ayurvedic medicine, by Sushruta and in the Rasarathasamucchaya, Sarangadhara, Bhavaprakasha and Bhisagya Ratnavali. Held traditionally to have antifertility effects, its leaves were demonstrated to reduce pregnancy rate and litter size in a test of male rats."
