Despite significant interest in contraception by men, effective methods of male contraception are limited to vasectomy and condoms. Recently, there have been several promising advances in male contraceptive research. This review will update readers on recent research in both hormonal and non-hormonal approaches to male contraception. Hormonal approaches to male contraception have been stymied by adverse effects, formulations requiring injections or implants, a 5-10% non-response rate, as well as poor understanding of user acceptability. In the last several years, research has focused on novel, orally bio-available androgens such as dimethandrolone undecanoate and 11β-methyl-19-nor-testosterone. Additionally combinations of a topical testosterone gel combined with a gel containing Nestorone, a potent progestin, have shown promise in clinical trials recently. Simultaneously, significant pre-clinical progress has been made in several approaches to non-hormonal male contraceptives, including compounds that inhibit sperm motility such as EPPIN, compounds which inhibit retinoic acid binding or biosynthesis, and reversible approaches to obstruction of the vas deferens. It is imperative for both these areas of research to continue making strides so that there is a gamut of contraceptive options for couples to choose from. Some of these approaches will hopefully reach clinical utility soon, greatly improving contraceptive choice for couples.
