British Scientists Discover Way To Stop Sperm Swimming Ability. by Explorers(m): 5:35am On Oct 23, 2016
British scientists have made a breakthrough in the search for a male contraceptive pill which could transform the sex lives of millions of couples.

For decades, researchers have tried to produce a reliable alternative to condoms or a vasectomy, but there has been little progress.

Now UK scientists have found the secret of making men temporarily infertile by ‘switching off’ sperm’s ability to swim.

They have made tiny ‘designer compounds’ which smuggle themselves into sperm, and stop their tails from wiggling.

If a sperm can’t swim, it has no chance of naturally fertilising a woman’s egg.

The key advance raises the prospect of a fast-acting pill that a man could take just hours or minutes before sex.

Researchers believe its effects would wear off within days, meaning he would again be fertile. By contrast, women are typically advised to stop taking the Pill weeks or even months before trying to conceive.

Family planning experts said a reversible male contraceptive could benefit millions of couples where the woman cannot take the Pill for medical reasons.

And it would save men from being trapped into having children they did not want, they added.

With global sales of contraceptives topping £13 billion a year, the market for a reversible male contraceptive could be huge.

Lead researcher Professor John Howl, of Wolverhampton University, described how effective their sperm-stopping agent had been in lab tests.

He said: ‘The results are startling and almost instant. When you take healthy sperm and add our compound, within a few minutes the sperm basically cannot move.

’Male infertility is often the result of poorly moving sperm, called ‘low motility’. Using this, the Wolverhampton team, together with Portuguese researchers, made a compound called a cell-penetrating peptide, which gets inside sperm and brings them to a standstill.

Prof Howl said: ‘This is a totally unique approach nobody else has ever done this before.

’Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can influence how human cells work. They occur naturally but biochemists can make synthetic versions.

Prof Howl and colleague Dr Sarah Jones first demonstrated that certain ‘cell-penetrating peptides’ could smuggle themselves inside sperm cells, like a Trojan horse.

Please do you know how I can be in touch with the company or if it has hit market so I can be major distributor here in Nigeria?

Thanks for bringing it here bro. You never disappoint in your daily research.

I love people with quest for information beyond classroom.

You think this is done by Nigerians with so much irregularities? This is a multi-million dollar opportunity. Anyway, we all can't always reason alike.

the bolded should not be encouraged, considering that most guys have multiple sexual partners, male infertility is on the increase because there are silent STIs that can stay long in the body with no symptoms, withdrawal or not,I think the importance of condoms cannot be overemphasized
