Male contraceptive

Male contraceptives are products or methods a man can use to stop him from getting a woman pregnant. It is similar to when a woman uses birth control - the man also is able to take responsibility for preventing a pregnancy. There are various kinds of male contraceptives on the market. Some are hormonal, which means they use hormones (chemicals in the body) to block or stop the sperm from leaving the penis and reaching the egg. Some other options are physical barriers, like condoms, which prevent the sperm from ever getting out of the penis.
