It wasn't to the testicles, it was to the vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm from the testicle to the seminal vesicles. Geez, was I the only one who wasn't giggling their way through Sex Ed?

That wasn't a chemical or hormonal approach, though--it was literally a ball of sticky goo they were plugging the tubes with. Sounded pretty promising, though, with zero side-effects. Far as I know it hasn't made its way out of clinical trials.

The women in my life have been on hormonal birth control for way too long. If I can step up--especially if the side-effects are as mild as are really described here--I'd totally do it. I'd like to see some more longitudinal study work first, though.

The technical term for using a hot tub for birth control is "parenthood".
