Male birth control is almost here. But it involves a very big needle.

The Holy Grail of birth control is almost upon us, you guys… The male contraceptive has arrived.

It’s called Vasalgel. And it’s a massive needle that goes right into the peen.

So you can definitley rely on dudes to take it then.

Here’s the rundown:

Vasalgel is an injection that acts like a temporary vasectomy. A polymer contraeptive is injected into the vas deferens (the little tube that sperm travels through) and acts like a barrier. Basically, it stops any little wrigglers from getting through. It’s the first line of defence for jizz, if you will. And it can be kept in for years.

Unlike with a vasectomy (where the vas deferens is completely snipped), if a gentleman then decides he would like to make a baby with a special lady friend, he can get a second injection that will flush out the polymer contraceptive and allow the sperm to flow freely once again.

Vasalgel has been tested on three very lucky baboons, who were each placed into a romantic living situations with 15 lady baboons – EACH – for 6 months. Much fun was had. No pregnancies occured.

According to a press release, the makers of Vagasal hope to start human trials next year, and are looking to have the male contraceptive commercially available by 2017.

Bring on the penis injections!
