just becuse there are cases wher iud go bad does not make them currently the best option. I 100% support devlopment of male birthcontrol. but as of right now do to the fact that men maks 500 million sperm cells a day. a women never makes new eggs.

so to stop a guy from being furtel you have to not only kill all active sperm but you have to stop the body from making new sperm. making sperm is a very complicated chemical prosses that has been hard to stop with out massive side effects.

the drugs in the post you mentiond if used as they ar weaken your amune systum not somthing you want to do. they are trying to narrow it down to only attack the sperm but how easy this will be we do not know yet. further some of the same side effects my come about that simler atempst have cused such as inhibiting sex drive and lowering testtostrone levels.

and still this would be a drug that would have to be taken daliy and the whole point of our conversation was long term but easly reversable birth controll.

and IUD is that you dont need anything daily or monthly or even yearly

while the closest thing for guys is eather chemical castration(definatly not a good answer to this) or visectomy witch is a pretty invacive proscess with much higher side effects then an iud and much harder to undo just to redo again a short while later.

it is easyer to stop 1 egg a month then it is to stop 500 million sperm cells every day
