The Wet Heat method mentioned in the article is NOT reversible if used for a longer period of time. It was initially thought to be, but it has since been found to cause permanent damage.

Also, if you need to resort to conspiracy theories to make your point, your point is probably not correct.

"men were interested in male contraception. Why weren’t drug companies interested? And why are they not, still?"

Perhaps because the main point of the article that there is no scientific barrier is not actually correct?

Male birth control is not happening, it is not just economy but also politics. There are a few methods known since sixties, with less side effects than female hormonal contraception, but those are all banned.

It looks very much like it is happening. I have to travel to another country to get a procedure done? Oh well. Medical tourism has been a thing for a while.

Male non-invasive birth control isn't happening right now. It wouldn't be viable to travel to other countries to get birth control pills monthly.
