“…Men, too, have increasingly voiced interest in taking responsibility for the control of the couple's fertility and cited simplicity, reversibility, and effectiveness as the desired features of a male contraceptive (Heinemann et al 2005).…”

“…7 New survey data from four continents reveal that men and women are willing to consider male contraception. Among the 55 per cent of men favourable to male contraception, 60 per cent expressed preference for oral methods, 40 per cent for implants, and about 30 to 40 per cent would accept gels (Heinemann et al 2005). Further, women are supportive of male contraception and trust that their partners would use a contraceptive pill (see Handelsman 2003).…”

Population forecasts predict that by 2050, about 150 million women (and couples) of child-bearing age will need contraception, and many of them are likely to find their needs unmet, due to problems of access, availability, and acceptability of the contraceptive options for one or both partners. Current contraceptive options are largely intended for use by women (pills, intrauterine devices [IUDs], injectables, and implants), with condoms and vasectomy being the only two options for men. In many countries, contraceptive use tends to be in the woman's domain, in part due to the nature of the contraceptive. This article discusses how women's health advocates have been able to raise important concerns regarding contraceptive technology and its development. It also reviews the range of new contraceptives that addresses issues of user autonomy and controllability, offers protection against pregnancy and STIs and HIV, and addresses male needs and concerns.

“…However, the appeal of a male contraceptive to both men and women is great. In surveys spanning four continents, a majority of men indicate a willingness to use a male contraceptive if one were available (9,10). Additional multinational and multiethnic studies of potential hormonally based male contraceptives demonstrate that most men (11), and their female partners (12), would be willing to use such a method of contraception.…”

The world population continues to increase dramatically despite the existence of contraceptive technology. The use of male hormonal contraception may help in preventing unintended pregnancies and managing future population growth. Male hormonal contraception relies on the administration of exogenous hormones to suppress spermatogenesis. Clinical trials have tested several regimens using testosterone, alone or in combination with a progestin. These regimens were shown to be >90% effective in preventing conception and were not associated with serious adverse events.
