Scientists at Cornell University may be closing in on the long-sought “holy grail” of male contraception: a safe, reversible, nonhormonal method that completely halts sperm production. In a breakthrough mouse study, researchers used a compound called JQ1 to temporarily shut down meiosis—the critical process that produces sperm—without causing lasting harm. After treatment stopped, sperm production bounced back, fertility returned, and the animals produced healthy offspring.

    Anyway it is irrelevant for regular people, because it isn’t available and probably won’t be within 5 to 10 years if lucky. Maybe it would be relevant if it had a chance of being available in 1 to 2 years , even then who knows how expensive it would be or how long it would take to be accessible, as in a lot of doctors doing it.
