Fortunately, researchers think they are closer than ever to delivering on the holy grail of hormonal male birth control, with promising — if early — evidence of a contraceptive gel called NES/T and more products in the pipeline.

“I am not always the cup-half-full person,” Blithe said. But emerging Phase 2 NES/T clinical trial data has transformed her into something of an optimist. “I am way half-full — I am three-quarters full. This is really working so much better than we expected.”
