For years ladies have been hogging all the birth control options—the pill, ring, patch, sponge, shot, IUD, cervical cap, diaphragm, just to name a few. But a new procedure called RISUG, in advanced clinical trials in India, may put the ball back in the gentlemen's court.
RISUG (Reversible Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance) works by injecting a polymer gel into the vas deferens, killing the sperm as they go by. It has been proven to be 100% effective for up to 10 years and is easily reversible by flushing the polymer out with another injection. It's still a few years away from making it to markets outside India, but that should give musicians time to come up with the sequel to Loretta Lynn's The Pill.
