We believe that men can, and should, have access to contraceptive options beyond condoms and vasectomies.

Researchers around the world are working toward male contraceptives that are potentially safer, more effective and more convenient than any contraceptives on the market today. New leads are being discovered all the time – Adjudin and the 'dry orgasm' pill are two recent finds.

Times have changed: despite persistent myths, sociological surveys show that men are ready for new contraceptive options. Reliable, reversible male contraception would allow both men and women to participate fully in family planning.

Some policymakers and pharmaceutical companies are skeptical about the public's interest in new male contraceptive products, and much of the research is underfunded. You can help change this by participating in our survey. The aggregated results of the survey are used to show policymakers that there is demand for new male contraceptives.

Looking for a male contraceptive? Right now the only way to get access to them is to participate in a clinical trial.

MaleContraceptives.org is a project of the Male Contraception Coalition, whose mission is to help speed the development of new contraceptives for men.
