A Short Summary of Natural Male Birth Control

I am a sex researcher with a degree in Gender Studies and Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a minor in Biology from Columbia College. Over numerous years, I have researched these forms of contraception by interviewing professors, combing through libraries and archives, and interviewing those who practice these methods. Here is a list of what I have found to be valid forms of birth control. It is curious that these methods are rarely discussed due to societal emphasis on pharmaceutical forms, such as the Pill. See list of Pill side effects below.

Here is my list of natural birth control methods, starting with the male. Scroll down for news on the Male Pill and other male birth control methods on the horizon.

Male forms of Natural Birth Control

Both are dry methods which involve some of the following techniques:
  • Muscle flexing
  • Squeeze technique
  • Breathing technique
  • Oneida method
  • Taoist method
  • Tantric method
  • Karezza method 
Coitus Saxonicus is when a man squeezes the base of his penis immediately before ejaculation so that the semen is diverted to the bladder. Since this is an obscure form, no studies have been conducted on the safety or effectiveness of this form of birth control. More research needs to be done.

It is a MYTH that male orgasm and ejaculation are the same thing. They actually are two separate mechanisms. A man can have an orgasm and no ejaculation, as well as have an ejaculation and no orgasm. This is backed up by numerous scientific literature (listed at the bottom of this article). From Kinsey, to Masters and Johnson, to Zilbergeld, many prominent researchers have verified this data.

There have been 3 scientific articles published on the subject of male multiple orgasm. None of these studies address the effectiveness of this as a method of birth control. More research needs to be done to address the health aspects and effectiveness of this form of birth control. A book which describs the technique is The Multi-Orgasmic Man by Mantak Chia. It's $3.79 for Kindle, $5 used book on Amazon. It explains simple the techniques. It does discuss Taoist sexosophy (sexual philosophy). Eastern sexosophy isn't fir everyone, but this book does include helpful diagrams & exercises.

The men I have interviewed who practice this method say their orgasms feel like intense waves as opposed to one shorter orgasm; they feel energized, not tired after sex. Male multiple orgasm has higher levels of orgasmic sensation which charts in a wave pattern when compared with ejaculatory orgasm.  They tell me they prefer this orgasm to the usual ejaculatory one. The scientific books covering this topic are listed as sources at the end of this article. Chia's book is in non-scientific terms, which makes it an quick read without being bogged down by medical and physiological details. Here is an excellent article by a doctor who practices this method. How to be a Multi-Orgasmic Man

More info to be posted over the winter (2016). Stay tuned.
