It's all right, love, I'm on the pill

Article Abstract:

Research being undertaken in Manchester, England, has made promising progress with the development of drugs designed to reduce a man's sperm count to below the levels at which he could father a child. These drugs produce only mild side effects, and it is not believed that reversibility is a problem. Some observers fear that the development of a male contraceptive would lead to a fall in the use of condoms, thus bringing the risk of rising levels of HIV and Aids. Others are more concerned about the fact that men may not be reliable enough in taking a contraceptive drug.
