      That’s not birth control that’s just like having a vasectomy. The big power of birth control is that it works after the fact so if you wake up in the morning and you realise you’ve made a mistake, you have options.

        That’s the morning after pill, completely different thing and depending on the country way harder to get than the regular pill.

        No, you are describing a morning after pill.

        Also, the new male birth control stops sperm production after 3-4 weeks. Once the drug is stopped, they slowly go back to normal in a few months. That is nothing like a vasectomy.
