A closer look at the male contraceptive options available today and those still in development. The chapter describes the two main types of condom and how they protect against both pregnancy and STIs. It explains vasectomy as a more permanent option, a simple surgical procedure that cuts or seals the vas deferens. Withdrawal is covered too, including why it is free and simple but far less reliable than other methods. The chapter ends with hormonal contraception for men, which is not yet on the market, and the research under way on options such as a daily gel.
