The male reproductive system is as complex as it is amazing, making developing a male contraceptive a significant challenge.

Knowing how a man’s body operates is a critical first step to understanding how the next generation of male contraceptive methods will function. This can be a daunting task as the science of male reproductive biology is complex, and the related terminology can be difficult to grasp.

In an effort to make this information more accessible, we have developed primers to introduce and explain some of the key terms and processes related to male reproduction and male contraception. We have segmented these into categories in order to make it easier to find what you're looking for.
