For men who are leery of the 'snip, snip', scientists have found an ultimate, no-pain way to baby-proof your “thing” without having to go under the scalpel.

Bid adieu to the latex, all the hormone-wrecking pills and devices and even the oh-so-scary thought of 'vasectomy' for the worse is over, dear men! Researchers have stormed up a new pill that works like temporary vasectomy, thwarting the sperm from leaving the body during intercourse and preventing unwanted pregnancy — all this and more without hurting your virility or dampening your libido. Amazing, isn't it!

The technique works by blocking two proteins involved in the ejaculation process. This so-called male pill targets the mechanism by which sperm leaves the body, and not man’s hormones or sperm count, which means the potential side-effects of this male birth-control pill is significantly lesser.

Not just that, the male pill hardly fiddles with your sex drive. And the best part, it's effect is reversible too. If you decide you want a few more ankle biters at home, all you have to do is stop taking the pill. Simple!

This birth-control trick is surely to be a boon for those women as well, who are apprehensive about popping a pill that almost always raises the risk of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots in women.
