That's because hormonal birth control for women takes advantage of existing biological processes to prevent pregnancy.
Men don't have any known biological processes that can be utilized like that, although it's been consistently studied for decades.
And there is some progress too afaik
There's been "progress" every few years for decades. Male birth control is basically the medical equivalent of battery technology.
I'll believe it when a pill makes it to market.
Just like cold fusion
I mean... you know that you can buy batteries today, and they're much better than the ones you could buy a decade ago?
The point is that on a regular basis there are articles about some amazing new battery breakthrough, but it never leaves the lab.
Genuinely kinda wonder why that keeps happening
Tech illiterate media writing hype articles. Repeats yearly also with flying cars or vacuum tube trains.
Most progress isn't made in sudden huge jumps, but small incremental improvements.
When pubsci articles promise a breakthrough, remember:
But instead of waiting for huge breakthroughs, just look at the progress made in commercially available batteries. There have been many improvements in cost & charge density.
