I'm often encouraged by the awareness of the problem of not
having a
male pill found in the messages on sites like this. Correctly
identifying a problem is surely the first step to solving it. However
I think Men also need to understand that the male birth control pill
(I call the (sperm protection pill) – because men don't bear
children. And the male pill will not stop a woman from becoming
pregnant elsewhere.) will not be approved by the FDA without a
struggle. A major struggle that will require widespread citizens
advocacy on the part of those who really want to see it become a
reality. Otherwise they will only continue their stall and delay
campaign as they have for the last 20 years. The science is not the
problem here. That riddle has already been solved. There are some
sinister forces at work here. Economic, political-special-interest
and social.

However I think we can find a solution to our plight if we take a
clue from history and the drug (ENVOID). Which was used OFF-LABEL by
over one half million women from the summer of 1957 until May 11,
1960 when the FDA caved in and approved it as the first female birth
control pill. However women were not given this drug easily. They had
to demand it because of the enormous opposition from the Church, the
State, Medical Community and even the Family. Yes, there were risks.
Yes, there were side effects. But the women at that time seemed to
clearly understand the ends justified the means. And as a result of
the actions of these courageous early feminist (like them or not, and
I don't. But I respect what they did) they dramatically improved
their quality of life and changed history forever.

If men want the same results it is only logical that they must take
the same actions. The means (for now) is Nifedipine or testicular
heating and yes, there are risks and side effects. However, to a much
lesser degree than the adverse reactions women suffered from the
first pill. Having used both Nifedipine and testicular heating as
(undetectable) male contraceptives I suffered no side effects at all
personally. However I should disclose that I also researched, read
and studied all the material I could find on these subjects for over
a year. I also networked with other men that had (personal
experience) with these contraceptives by e-mail from all over the
world for advice. And (personally) interviewed the top two leading
authorities on Nifedipine as a male contraceptive and the testicular
heating method, Dr. Susan Benoff and Dr. Chris Jenks for a book I
wrote in 2003-2004. As a result of my two year long quest for a male
pill my personal results have been excellent. So much so that I
founded the non-profit organization www.menforapill.org to share my
experiences with the world and help accelerate the process of getting
an official FDA approved male pill to market as soon as possible. All
the documentation found on the site is verifiable and free because I
believe it's too valuable to sell.

In the final analogy the FDA will have no compelling reason to
approve a male birth control pill / sperm protection pill unless men
publicly embarrass them into doing so. Just as women had to do back
in the late 1950's. Which (I believe) is the next step after
correctly identifying the problem.
