How do you feel about this non-invasive ultrasound device being touted as 'The future of male contraception'?

Question

There Was a Contest... The James Dyson Award is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers. It's open to design engineering students, and is run by the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson’s charitable trust, as part of its mission to get young people excited about design engineering.  Rebecca Weiss, an industrial design graduate from the University of Munich, Germany, took the top prize and was given the award for her problem-solving idea. Weiss invented the COSO, a never-seen-before male birth control device called a "testicle bath." Weiss developed the idea for her master's thesis. She hopes the award will help her obtain funding to put the COSO through clinical trials. Why? Condoms and a vasectomy are currently the only two contraceptives for men, while there are 12 tailored to women Although there's ongoing research into a pill for men, there is not one available yet. An alternative to condoms, and no one likes using condoms. Plus, they slip and can break How it Works The device works by men placing their testicles into a small bowl-like gadget, which is filled with water It emits ultrasound waves to temporarily limit sperm production and mobility  for up to two months Weiss says COSO is painless and temporary Ultrasound Technology Used to reduce pain and speed up healing for deep tissue injuries Was first proposed as a contraceptive in the 1970s, and is thought to work by generating a deep heat in testicular tissue. This alters sperm mobility, which prevents them from being able to fertilize a female egg, and temporarily suppresses the creation of new sperm Comes in three sizes. "I'll Buy One Today!" Nope, not yet. It's not available for resale yet. It's still in the testing phase. Would you go a GoFundMe to support this?

I would need a lot of convincing to even consider this... lol

some therapies that involve heat and frequencies are supposed to target rogue or damaged cells while sparing the healthy ones... and in this is case it's used to target the healthy sperm...

Surely · Accepted Answer

My question for the women would be. Unless you are in a committed relationship, how many women would risk getting pregnant to a man that said he was using that kind of birth control!
Meaning, how would you tell if he was lying about it?

Citizenkirk · Answer

Disruption of the cycles of the reproductive system throws everything out of wack in the human biological clock.
Not just conception, but aging and lifespan, as well as increasing vulnerability to certain types of cancer and hormone deficiency issues.
Hormone replacement in men and woman is becoming commonplace in our society, but it is not part of the human metabolic timetable too need such suplimental additions too the aging body, and what started as medical necessity for people recovering from prostate, testicular, renal, overy, uterine, hysterectomy, and other types of radical proceedures that in some cases, lifesaving options for life-threatening conditions, are now becoming commercially viable treetments for ♂️♀️ enhancement therapy, or just getting things snipped, tied, removed👉😳🤯🥺😱😬👈, for convenience sake, with the perception that "I MIGHT AS WELL GET IT OUT OF THE WAY" like such radical, invasive procedures are necessary for unavoidable deterioration of infirmities approaching geriatric age of decent. It is not necessarily inevitable to get cancer or become sick in advanced aging process, but fertility does have a direct link to longevity and lifespan of men and woman alike, so disruption of naturally occurring reproductive cycles (yes, men have cycles too, just not menstrual in nature) can throw the whole system out of kilter in ways that may not be noticable for decades too cum🤤, ha, ha, but seriously 😳, you shouldn't mess with...

Hell no! I'll use a condom. If something happens I guess it was in the cards to happen that way. I'm not altering my body or attaching things to myself. Nor will I take a pill to hurtle my fertility. I have self control. If I dont like you enough I'm not jumping in the sack with you. If you decide to do that with randoms weather a guy or girl you need to step up and be responsible for those outcomes. With more freedom we wield greater power and with greater power comes greater responsibility. BE CHOOSY about who you bed.

Lliam · Answer

That's wild. It's the first I've heard of it.
Fortunately, I don't have to worry about it since I'm married to a 65 year old. LOL
I had girlfriends from the time I was 16, and they were all on the pill, so I didn't EVER have to worry about it.

I wonder if there is any sensation when employing the COSO device. Any tingling or vibration? LOL It would be cool if there was, especially if you used warm water. It could be fun to get a BJ at the same time. 😃😊

Boromir · Answer

The sperm produced by your testicles is moved inside your body, you can ultrasound your balls as much as you want, your fertile load for the next couple of ejaculations is inside your body, not your balls.

Mac-One · Answer

Can't see how that would be effective. Other than total abstinence, how about urethra relocation to the perineum like a girl? That would be 100% effective without medication or other restrictive procedures. You would have to intentionally collect the sperm and insert it into the vagina.

zeitgeist057 · Answer

All these Red Vines don’t seem to be doing the trick.

MikeTheBartender · Answer

I'm researching the stock now! I got a vasectomy but more forms of birth control the merrier.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Well it sounds like it could be useful, but what about side effects down the line? If it reduces sperm production could it do it permanently or sterilize a guy?

noohair · Answer

Temporary? I do not think guys want to cook their balls with ultrasound. The Japanese have been using warm water for centuries to do the same thing.

Anpu23 · Answer

Interesting. Id also be interested in long term hormonal effects. But it is certainly promising. My wife had her tubes tied, but it's certainly interesting.

genericname85 · Answer

honestly, that doesn't sound very reliable... if it was and if it didn't long term do harm, i'd be all for it.

DaveToo · Answer

I would not, at any point in my life including now, consider sticking my testicles into some machine that would have made me sterile.

Andres77 · Answer

Resale? You mean they only have the ones from the test available?

This_Is_My_Opinion8 · Answer

I would prefer if they manage to make a contraceptive pill for us. But this is still interesting. A bit worried with possible side effects.

dolemite89 · Answer

it would be interesting if it does work well, i’d love to be able to not wear condoms or have to get a vasectomy if they come up with something full proof

Juxtapose · Answer

Give it long-term clinical trials and then we'll see what I think of the side effects.

ChiPaPa · Answer

I'd be worried about any side effects with anything other than condoms.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Sounds interesting! I won't financially support the research, but I will give them my moral support.

spartan55 · Answer

I'm good in that department since 2006

Phoenix98 · Answer

Yeah I'll pass thanks.
