Dudes won't take it cause it isn't manly but here you go:

Scientists have developed tiny magnetic particles that could one day be used by men for birth control.
The nanoscopic particles would be injected into the bloodstream. They would then be guided to the testes with a magnetic field, which also generates heat for contraception.

Heat is a natural contraceptive. Male mammals often have a suspended scrotal sac to keep their testes cool. By wearing tight pants or underwear, some male humans will also raise the temperature of their scrotums, which can lower sperm counts.

The teams latest research, published in the journal Nano Letters, involved injecting male mice with magnetic particles made of iron oxide (or magnetite). The materials are not only safely broken-down by normal metabolism, but their mode of delivery intravenous injection is relatively non-invasive too.

When the researchers applied an alternating magnetic field, the nanoparticles would warm-up the testes.

After injecting nanoparticles into male mice with several doses over two days, the researchers found that the magnetic field heated the testes to 40C (104F) hot enough to cause shrinkage that limited their ability to produce sperm cells. That effect, called magnetic hyperthermia, would last up to 60 days.
Following the magnetic heat treatment, the mice couldnt father any pups for 7 days, but after two months they could be back to making babies at an average rate of 12 per female, suggesting the animals can return to being fully fertile.
One near-future application for the technology is selective breeding of livestock and household pets, although nanoparticles could potentially be used in humans.

Existing male contraceptives includes vasectomy (cutting or tying the sperm ducts), which is typically permanent, and single-use devices such as condoms.
Nanoparticles would be a better alternative, offering a reversible contraceptive that is recycled by the body.

What happens when I go through a metal detector? And what if I need an MRI? I feel like this may lead to other issues...

When they ask you if you are concealing a weapon you can say it's your dick

im foreveralone so I doubt Id ever be in a position to need it

but this kind of thing needs long term studies done. How safe is it really to have magnets in your balls and bloodstream?

Yeah, I think I'll pass on that one. On the other hand, I don't see why the side effects of various hormonal male contraceptives are such a big deal, they don't sound any worse than those on the female ones? (Or are they more common?)

There's only two 100% effective methods of contraception, and they both start with A.

(The other one is abstinence.)

That was perhaps the silliest thing I've ever seen
