No one gets pregnant. Also, the sex is pretty f*cking good. Here, Cosmo crashes the most promising medical trial yet
crashes the most promising medical trial yetCaitlin Kinast couldn’t help feeling a bit salty during the 12 months her husband, Seth, was on birth control. “His energy was up through the roof,” she says. “He was super happy, like a teenager again.” She pauses. “I wish my birth control was like that.”
So, yeah, it’s fair to say that the need for male birth control, the very idea of which has often been treated as a futuristic joke, is, at this point, critical. And many in the scientific community—including the University of Washington site researchers who grantedSeth’s first hurdle: believing the stuff was legit. He’d read about previous attempts to develop a male contraceptive, including ones that required hormone injections given by a doctor, which somehow seemed more “real.
While millions of women deal with it every day, reproductive hormone manipulation is a new frontier for most men. But Dev Bellman, a 29-year-old from Seattle who considers himself “kind of a feminist,” has always been curious about the possibility. He joined the NES/T trial in 2019. It all seemed low-risk enough, especially since any effects were meant to be reversible, and his partner of four years was totally on board. “She was like, ‘Hell yeah.
For what it’s worth—although not any less aggravating for women to hear about—NES/T may be more forgiving of user error than the Pill. A man’s sperm count doesn’t just bounce back to normal after a day or two of missed gel applications, so the chances of an unintended pregnancy seem low. Mike Bartley, 33, estimates that he missed a dose or so every month during his year in the NES/T trial. “I forgot for whatever reason,” he shrugs. “My sperm counts were always still zero.
