• She Said

  Would you trust your man to use male birth control? Women have a very different relationship with birth control than men do. And a male birth control option may not be all that appealing to women, who have to bear the risk of pregnancy. We talk to three women who think there’s opportunity in male contraception, and are looking forward to the time when they can share in the role.

• He Said

  If you build it, will they come? If you make a male birth control, will men use it? What do they care about? What sort of things do they want to see in a contraceptive? Three men who all have their own motivations, ideas, and opinions.

• The Long and Winding Road

  Making a drug is hard, not to mention expensive. But a male birth control? It’s something nobody has ever done before. Getting a drug to market is a big lift for a pharmaceutical company who has resources and connections. Male birth control hasn’t had either of those yet. So how are we going to do it? And even more – where are you supposed to start?

• The Heavy Lifters

  There’s a race to be the first male birth control out there. And the people running the race are all taking a different route. The human pipeline is just as important as the drug development pipeline. Some people work at a university, some at a startup, and some are even at a hospital – treating men with experimental contraceptives right now.
