The Revolutionary New Birth Control Method for Men

NSFW for the shot of a Man's unmentionables.

Today I learned (TIL) a forum inhabited mainly by men would not comment on methods describing vasectomy, however revolutionizing the new technique may be.

First you marked it NSFW. Most people don't access this site by phone. Second, everyone knows there is no better protection than condoms.

Talking about NSFW content, wonder what VP will do if he gets on this forum.

I read all four pages of this article and the comments as well. must read for everyone - not just for the revolutionary new birth control method but to peek into the process of research and development.

corporates, aided by the govt., think about their profits first and about the public last. they are least interested in a procedure that is one-time with no repeat customers. as the article says they would rather keep selling blue pills to men and hormones to women instead of helping develop meaningful birth control methods.
guha's spirit is commendable and his research philosophy that keeps him going despite all the setbacks...

But instead of giving up, he dug in, remembering what an old mentor had told him early in his career: that any new scientific idea had to experience four stages of reaction, which correspond to the name of the Hindu god Rama.

“In the first instance, there will be rejection—R,” Guha says, sitting in a folding chair in his fluorescent-lit lab. “If you pursue it, there will be anger. You have to persist. Then, a phase of mellowing will come: ‘Ah, yes,’ people will say. ‘Maybe there’s something to it!’ Then, if you still have patience and courage, will come a stage of acceptance.”

it was interesting to read about the jump in thinking from rural water purification to male birth control.

http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/04/ff_vasectomy/ wrote:As has happened with medical discoveries from penicillin to Viagra, Guha was searching for something entirely different when he stumbled across the idea that became RISUG. In the early 1970s, at the behest of the government, Guha was looking for a way to purify water in rural pumps. Treating the water chemically could be too expensive and infrastructure-dependent; he needed a method that was permanent, safe, and cheap. Then a hotshot young professor at the IIT campus in Delhi, Guha figured out a way to line the pumps with a substance that would kill bacteria without depleting itself.
But the project was never completed. In the mid-1970s, India awoke to its urgent population crisis, and the government’s priorities changed. Guha refocused his work on the field of contraception. He soon realized that the same basic concept could work inside the pumping mechanism of the male anatomy—the vas deferens.

only concern I have is the safety of the polymer that he uses. How the safety trials were conducted?

He seems like an incredible man to have carried his research this far on his own.

What does this say about Indian govt's bureaucracy
