The Best Birth Control in the World Is for Men

The procedure is called RISUG in India, and it takes about 15 minutes with a doctor. Its effectiveness begins about three days later, and it lasts 10 or more years. And, this male contraceptive—yes, MALE—may very well be the best birth control in the world. The online tech magazine, Techcitement, recently broke the news of this ground-breaking procedure, which involves injecting a small amount of a special gel into the scrotum.

It's a "set-it-and-forget-it" option that works, Techcitement says. "The only trouble is most people don't even know this exists." There's also just one little kink in the procedure, Techcitement adds: "If men only need one super-cheap shot every 10 years or more, that's not something that gets big pharmaceutical companies all fired up, because they'll make zero money on it (even if it might have the side benefit of, you know, destroying HIV)."
