Oh my god!
Birth control has now reached a whole new level. There is this new drug called YCT-529, a male birth control pill. Tis not a hormonal one. It is currently in trials, but scientists have high hopes that before this decade is over, men will also have the option of taking the pill like women.
Now imagine, the first tests on mice showed an effectiveness of 99%, exactly the same as the female pills. This thing works by blocking vitamin A in the testicles, which is why sperm are not produced, but testosterone remains stable. In other words, the desire for the game does not decrease, it is just a contraceptive without drama.
For humans, the first phase of research has already been completed and it has been shown to be safe. Right now, the second phase is underway in New Zealand and a few people have volunteered. For monkeys and mice, when they stopped using this drug, fertility returned to normal without any side effects. That's when scientists rejoiced, because it is completely reversible.
Currently, men have very few options: condoms, vasectomy, or withdrawal before ejaculation. Condoms and withdrawal are reversible, while others are permanent. Their women have pills, implants, IUDs, and other pills.
So, if you do the math, if this YCT-529 is approved, it will be a huge revolution. Men will also get into the family planning game without stress, and family planning responsibilities will be shared equally. This is like writing a new chapter in the history of fertility.
Do you think that when this drug comes to the market, men will quickly accept it or will they still have doubts?
