male contraceptive pill

As many of you have undoubtedly read in today's news, British scientists have developed a new male contraceptive pill.

This new pill can be taken as a one-off contraceptive a few hours before sex and would "prevent a man from being able to impregnate a woman, but within a few hours his fertility would return to normal."

According to the Daily Mail:

This would make it much more acceptable to men than other 'male pills' under development, which alter hormone levels and have to be taken over the long term.

Hmmn. Okay. You know how sometimes when you want to tell someone something uncomfortable, you kind of hide it in a bunch of other facts? "It's your birthday! I got you this DVD and we're breaking up and LOOK, A CAKE!"

However the new pill being researched by scientists at King's College London, contains chemicals that prevent ejaculation and could be in tablet-form.

Riiight ... men find altering their hormones "unacceptable" (might make you moody like a woman!), but a pill that "prevents ejaculation" is perfectly okay? What? But LOOK IT'S IN TABLET FORM!
