British couples are taking part in trials of a male contraceptive jab said to be as effective as the Pill.
Doctors believe it will liberate women from the burden of family planning by letting partners share responsibility.
The contraceptive, given in two injections every two months, tricks the brain into shutting off sperm production.
Doctors say it is effective in 99 per cent of cases and sperm counts should rapidly return to normal once the injections are stopped.
No serious side-effects are expected from the jab, although some men may experience hot flushes, mood swings or acne.
