Look out, sperm, there’s a new device in town that could keep you at bay!

It’s a radio-controlled implant being tested in Australia that goes inside the man’s vas deferens, blocking sperm from making the trek from the testicles to the penis. The implant is small enough that it can be inserted with a hypodermic needle (my emotional penis says ooooch!).

Needles aside—this product would enable men, for the first time, to have internal, non-permanent birth control. The device could theatrically clock up and remain shut, say scientists, making a man infertile, so they’re proposing this device be used first on men who are about to have a full vasectomy anyway, just in case.

One thing’s for sure, it’s a good thing the doctor will carry the remote—unlike my remote-controlled vibrator, this remote isn’t one to fuck around with.
