Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Little progress has been made over the last century in developing contraceptives for men and men continue to have

only a very small range of contraceptive options from which to choose. The most popular methods used by men

remain condoms and vasectomy. Condom use remains, however, largely casual even despite recent interest in

preventing the sexual transmission of HIV. Vasectomy is a permanent method of male contraception. There are

many reasons why progress has been slow in developing male contraceptives, but they relate primarily to the

physiology of the male reproductive system. The ideal male contraceptive should be practical, inexpensive, easily

available, rapidly effective, promptly reversible, free of side effects, and should not interfere with sexual intercourse.

The author describes approaches to male contraception in sections on the suppression of gonadotropins and

immunocontraception, and closes with future considerations. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 4072-06)
