Can't wait for the flood of people telling us why this isn't feasible for men to take and insisting that when a SAFE and 100% EFFECTIVE form is ready they'll surely take it.
I would love it, tbh
As a man I can assure you that this pill wouldn't be feasable for me to take and I'm better off without it.

99% effective is nowhere near 100%, perhaps counterintuitively. Sex twice a week for a year and you're probably in deep shit.
Sure but its about the same rate as female birth control. also fertilization cant happen every single day of the month, so in your scenario you only gotta worry about 2 to 3 days a month, when you could use condoms if you were really worried about it.
This is a fantastic alternative to the hell hormonal birth control can be for women.
Am a dude on thyroid medications - hormonal impacting drugs and hormone variations are fucking brutal.
I talked with my wife to get off BC and we started using condoms again after my ordeal of getting stable with thyroid meds. I was like why would you take that shit when condoms exist.
For folks saying 99% whatever - like my condom busts up 1 in 50 or so. So might be better odds on a med.
I used to have the same issue with condoms, but closer to 1 in 3. It might be worth shopping around for condoms with a better fit
Is that any different than the pill or other contraception methods?
The only birth control that is 100% effective is not having sex.
The only birth control that is 100% effective is having HOT GAY SEX™
Alternatively become a Buddhist monk and hit yourself in the balls until you're infertile, I guess
Go back to the dark ages already
Abstinence is not birth control.
That’s like saying the only way to build a house that doesn’t fall down is to not build the house.
It really is, avoiding risk vs mitigating risk. Birth control is summarized as avoiding unwanted pregnancies, not about baby safe sex.
And I'm not saying "don't have sex if you don't want babies" because that's stupid ass argument considering we have so many other options for birth control for you to choose from
The only safe way to fly is to not fly.
It’s not birth control.

Vasectomies are close enough
Now how in the hell is female sterilization not 100%?
Even after tubal litigation it's possible to still get pregnant if the fallopian tubes grow back together or if another tube/path forms. It's somewhat rare (0.5% of women who have had the procedure could get pregnant again)
But the same thing can happen with vasectomies so why isn't it showing anything there?
Vasectomies are a lot easier to double check. A woman released 1 egg a month. A man released a LOT of swimmers every shot. Go in a cup and check for swimmers.
Guessing it's more female "sterilization"
