The landscape of male contraception

Abstract

Reproductive medicine has made significant advancement over the last 70 years, much of it in the way of female contraception. Reliable male contraception continues to be restricted to condoms and vasectomy. The purpose of this narrative review is to provide an overview of the contemporary usage of male contraceptive methods, including ethical and political standpoints, as well as, to summarize the current and future studies being done on male hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptive options.
