    Would you use a male contraceptive jab?

    A male contraceptive jab could be as effective at preventing pregnancies as the female pill or condoms, work shows.

    The monthly testosterone injection works by temporarily blocking sperm production and could revolutionise birth control, experts believe.

    In trials in China only one man in 100 fathered a child while on the injections, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism reports.

    Six months after stopping the jabs the men's sperm counts returned to normal.

      Hmmm, testosterone injections. How would that work for sportspeople who get tested for ‘doping’?

        Nope for two reasons:-

        1. I'm severely needle phobic following an illness in childhood.

        2. Vasectomy after my 3rd son was 18 months old so it wouldn't achieve much.

            How can you worry about needles but let someone stick a burning poker into your nads?

                I'm married. What's sex?
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                  How many women would trust a man to take 'invisible' precautions?
                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                    I only need one woman to trust me. Mind you, if I could persuade more to join in you’d have a good point there.
