Don\u2019t want to receive an early <\/span>Father\u2019s Day card<\/span><\/a>? Didn\u2019t pay attention in science class? Specifically Form 3 Science, Chapter 4? (Spoiler alert: It\u2019s the chapter on reproductive systems.) We don\u2019t judge, but it\u2019s never too late to educate yourself on the methods of<\/span> birth control for men<\/span>. Because as fun as adulting can be, it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry if you\u2019re just not ready. Below, we walk you through the present and future <\/span>male contraceptives<\/span> available at your disposal. And yes, that includes the elusive \u2018Pill\u2019 for men that\u2019s still a work-in-progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Birth Control<\/span> Options <\/span>For Men<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are scant options when it comes to <\/span>birth control for men. S<\/span>o we’ll inject some (more) substance into this article by weighing the pros and cons of each for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now you probably know what a <\/span>condom<\/span><\/a> is. But for explanation\u2019s sake, we\u2019re going to have to rope in a bit of secondary school <\/span>science<\/span><\/a>. A condom is essentially a sheath that covers the penis and prevents sperm from reaching and fertilising an ovum, thus preventing pregnancy. It\u2019s commonly available in Malaysia in latex and non-latex (plastic) forms.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one<\/span> of <\/span>the <\/span><\/i>safest methods of <\/span>birth control for men<\/span>, but it is by no means foolproof. According to <\/span>Planned Parenthood<\/span><\/a>, condoms are 98% effective in preventing conception<\/span> if <\/span><\/i>you use them perfectly every single time. In real life, that number drops to about 85%, which means 15 out of 100 people who use condoms may encounter accidental <\/span>pregnancies<\/span><\/a>. If you don\u2019t want to be part of the statistics, learn to <\/span>put on rubber correctly<\/span><\/a> so they\u2019ll work to your advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n
