An experimental new type of male contraceptive that blocks sperm flow with a gel has been successful in monkey trials.
Vasalgel acts as a physical barrier once injected into the tubes that sperm would swim down to the penis.
The company behind it says a two-year trial, published in Basic and Clinical Andrology , shows the gel works and is safe - at least in primates.
It hopes to have enough evidence to begin tests in men within a few years.
If those get funding and go well - two big "ifs" - it will seek regulatory approval to make the gel more widely available to men.
It would be the first new type of male contraceptive to hit the market in many decades.
Vasagel is thought to have the same effect as a vasectomy — but another injection should dissolve the gel plug.

You almost make it sound like all women are the same. You do realize, they are as different as men are? Like you and me. You're some kind of blathering douche, who doesn't much like women. I'm just an asocial asshole who happens to like women most of the time. See how very different we are? If you could see how different women are, you might actually find one you could like. Good luck finding one who could like you though.
