male contraception

His birth control

Male contraception refers to methods used by men to prevent pregnancy.

The most common are condoms, which block sperm from reaching the egg, and vasectomy, a surgical procedure that permanently prevents sperm from entering semen.

Unlike female contraception, which offers many hormonal and non-hormonal options, male options remain limited—though hormonal male contraceptives are in development: Researchers are testing a male contraceptive pill.
