• When we look at the human body’s ability to reproduce, we see a
marvelous mechanism too complex for simple explanation. But
humans have always had the tendency to over-use it or are simply
not interested in reproducing at a certain time, thus leading to the
creation of contraceptives. Such technology was non-existent in the
past and required millions of tests and research as well as dedicated
scientists in charge of developing ways to overpass the reproductive
system and evade reproduction. We will touch on the most
important and ground breaking methods as well as complete
failures and the science behind them.

• When talking about contraceptives there are two obvious
differences, which include male-contraceptives and femalecontraceptives. Arguably the more simple ones belong to the male
side, with almost no variation on the intended method. Male
contraceptives either block the semen from entering the vagina or
eradicate the penis’ ability to produce semen. Of all the male
contraceptives the most effective would be “sterilization” which
altogether eliminates the possibility of reproduction BUT does not
prevent the contraction of STD’s. In the case of young males not
looking to be permanently eliminated from reproduction and only
looking for sexual intercourse a condom is more suitable, plus it
holds the ability to prevent contact with all vaginal fluids thus
preventing STD’s.
