According to the BBC, scientists at the University of Edingburgh are searching for men to participate in a trial for contraceptive injections. Basically, these men would be injected with some sort of drug, and then they will be monitored to see what happens. Apparently, this particular cocktail is better at preventing pregnancy than condoms...
Imagine it: you're a single female, out on the town in Edinburgh when you happen to come across a man with whom you hit it off nicely. You have a drink, good conversation and before you know it, one thing leads to another: you end up in his bed.
Of course, you make sure the sex is safe and ask for a protection. 'Oh,' he says, 'that's not necessary, I'm protected! I'm in the contraceptive trials, so we don't need a condom!'
Nine months later, you're giving birth to your first child and your face is plastered all over he papers. The headlines: 'Male contraceptive injection trials fail - scientists state they "need to go back to the drawing board"'.
And that's all before you find out you've contracted Chlamydia.
