WebMD lists four male contraceptives:[1]
- Condoms
- Vasectomy
- Outercourse (aka Abstinence)
- Withdrawal
In addition to these exposing the testicle to heat, such as in the hot bath, has been shown to reduce male fertility. The temperature must be high enough to kill sperm and/or prevent their production but not so high as to harm the host. Anyone considering using heat-based contraceptives is strongly recommended to research the topic thoroughly. Currently international health agencies do not recommend heat based male contraceptives.
