The day when men can take a pill or rely on an implant to keep them from fathering a child may only be a few years away, experts say.Even now, “China may actually have a male hormonal contraceptive soon, we just don’t know what that ‘soon’ is -- one to two years, perhaps, we just don’t know,” said Dr. Vanessa Cullins, vice president for medical affairs at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.She said most experts believe that a reliable, reversible hormone-based male contraceptive, similar to what’s been available to women for more than 40 years, could be achieved in five to 10 years.And, contrary to popular belief, most men say they would welcome some form of long-term but easily reversible contraception.
