  • Other new male contraceptives act once the sperm have entered the female reproductive tract. Some interfere with the sperms’ ability to swim properly, while others prevent sperm from recognizing or binding to an egg.[citation needed]

(Regarding heat-based contraception) -- While some very small studies have found certain heating regimens to be effective and reversible,[citation needed] there is currently no interest in funding larger studies.

Drugs targeting this phase of sperm development would become effective faster. Two pharmaceuticals are testing small, easily synthesized drug compound candidates.[citation needed]

[edit] Injection

From what I've read lately there is a hormonal contraceptive almost ready to go onto the market, should this be mentioned in the article? cyclosarin (talk) 16:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
