Man if this is effective in both cost and a high efficacy rate, then I'm so down, assuming I don't experience awful side effects.
I had the unfortunate experience of a manipulative woman lying about using protection, and it led to me developing a fear of others doing the same. It severely effected my dating/sex life all through my 20s.
If either party (or both!) can take easily-attainable birth control, it'd be so much better than we have it now.
It's a shame that male birth control has been so much more difficult to develop, probably due to the male reproductive system not relying on a cycle that can be quite easily interrupted.

Not saying the pill won't eventually appear but the track record for men contraception hitting the market is not good. It always get cancelled in an endless loop of disapointment.
People serious about sharing the load or protecting women from the aide effect of birth control should look up vasectomy or thermal contraception. It works.
I've been on thermal contraception for 6months myself and my sperm production bas completely stoped with no side effects. Highly recommend.
Hehe "sharing the load"

I can't find much on the mechanism of action (serine/threonine kinase antagonism), other than it's been tried to fight cancer and failed, hopefully it doesn't have any terrible side effects.
It sounds safer than the retinoic acid antagonist one that was posted a while ago anyway, I can't imagine a drug that does the opposite of tretinoin will be popular.

How was the recovery process? I keep meaning to do it (we're done having kids), but we keep having trips or whatever, so excuses pile up.
How soon could I be back doing active things? I have young kids, so "active" to me means roughhousing with the kids and whatnot.
