It’s a shame that male birth control has been so much more difficult to develop

Nah, condoms exist since ages and has many other benefits.

    The problem with condoms though is that they suck. Like, ugh, I'll put on the toque of shame but stopping a frisky moment to apply birth control is just plain annoying.

    Give me the swim team hiatus pill I can take before getting the penis brain, please and thanks.

    Condoms can break and have potential to make intercourse less pleasant, especially for men.

    Male birth control can serve both as a backup to a condom and as a way to experience the pleasure of sex without condom while not risking impregnation.

    It essentially has the same benefits as female birth control, except men can now be in charge too, and can also use this kind of protection when it is not recommended to a woman for medical reasons. Besides, you can always combine both to make it extra reliable.

    Sure, condoms are essentially the only way to stop transmission of STIs during penetrative sex. But when we talk about healthy permanent partners, this is not commonly an issue.
