Male Contraception!!! a pill coming soon
Rather than having a vasectomy to prevent fathering more children, men could be able to take their own version of the contraception pill in future
The Holy Grail of male contraception is a pill that would be 100% effective in preventing pregnancy but leave a man free to enjoy a full sex life.
So far, attempts to accomplish this have been disappointing, having largely focused on getting men to produce non-functioning sperm.
But some drugs used for this purpose produce intolerable side effects and have been abandoned one by one.
Drugs can induce infertility, but they may also affect sexual appetite or cause permanent alterations to sperm production
But a completely new approach seems to promise success. Scientists in Australia have found a reversible way to stop sperm getting into the ejaculate, without affecting sexual function. A sort of biological snip.
Tests on animals showed the sperm could be “kept in storage” during sex and the findings were published in the journal Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences.
The team of scientists at Monash University in Australia used a novel approach. Normally, sperm are moved out of the storage area in the testes (vas deferens) just before ejaculation.
The scientists bred genetically modified mice that were unable to squeeze the sperm out of the vas deferens, so they stayed in the storage site. When the mice ejaculated there was no sperm present. In other words, they were infertile.
The great advantage of this is that the process is reversible and the sperm are unaffected. The remaining task for the researchers is to show that this can be done with drugs – probably two drugs.
So far, the research group has made the mice infertile by changing their DNA to stop them making two proteins needed to move the sperm.
The researchers’ goal is to find a pair of drugs that can do the same thing. They believe one has already been developed and has been used for decades in patients with benign prostate enlargement. However, they would have to work from scratch to find the second one – a job that could take a bit of time.
The proteins targeted also have a role in controlling blood vessels, so there could beside effects on blood pressure and heart rate. That’s yet to be followed up.
There could also be an impact on the volume of ejaculate. But, in the mice at least, the researchers found only a “very slight” drop.
Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield is impressed.
He says: “It’s a very good study, almost like a biological vasectomy in that it stops the sperm coming out.”
Why do men want sex in the morning while women get frisky at night?
Blokes tend to wake up feeling amorous, while their partners get in the mood late in the evening - so why can't we synchronise our sex clocks?
Why is it that a man feels at his sexiest when he wakes up in the morning but a woman wants to go back to sleep?
And why, late at night, when a woman is in the mood for love, is her man just lying there, snoring? It all comes down to hormones. Here’s why our sex clocks don’t always tick in time.
5am
Even before a man has opened his eyes in the morning, his level of testosterone is at its peak – between 25% to 50% more than at any other time of the day.
That’s because the pituitary gland in his brain – which governs the production of the male sex hormone – has been switched on in the night and levels have been steadily rising until dawn.
Women also make testosterone – the main sex drive hormone – but produce a fraction of the amount and it rises by only a tiny bit overnight. It is also kept in balance by oestrogen and progesterone.
“Men need only a normal amount of testosterone to feel like sex,” says Ashley Grossman, neuroendocrinology professor at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London. “The raised levels in the morning means most men will wake up two to three times a week with erections.”
6am
Slept well? A good kip is another reason a man may feel even more amorous in the morning. Studies found the longer and deeper a man has slept, the higher his testosterone levels. Research in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows getting more than five hours’ sleep can raise male levels by an extra 15%.
7am
While a man’s levels of sex hormones are at their highest when he wakes up, a woman’s are at their lowest. “Male and female testosterone levels are at their highest at opposite ends of the day, so they are out of synch,” says consultant gynaecologist Gabrielle Downey, of the Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust.
“It takes more than hormones to get a woman in the mood, so men need to make an active effort.”
Instead, women’s hormones rise and fall more over their monthly cycle than through the course of a day.
At their height – midway through her cycle – a woman’s levels of testosterone will be 30 times higher than at the start.
8am
Preparing for another busy day at work?
As both sexes get ready for the day, levels of the stress hormone cortisol rise to help them wake up – and help dampen the effect of sex hormones.
After this initial surge, if the body keeps producing too much in response to stressful events over the day, studies have found it lowers the sex drive of both men and women.
9am
As the day goes on, men will keep steadily making testosterone in their testes. The hormone is also needed to trigger muscle growth and sperm production. Although men are mostly unaware of it, levels will fall and rise in a wave naturally every 90 minutes throughout the day as part of the body’s in-built body clock.
12 noon
An attractive colleague wanders into the workplace. But it won’t be a man’s hormones that react first. If a man feels highly attracted by someone, it’s his nervous system that kicks into action.
The sight of someone attractive immediately releases feel-good brain neurotransmitters called endorphins – and triggers blood flow to a man’s genitals. Sex hormones take longer to increase. However, when confronted with a sexy person, a man who naturally already has higher testosterone levels is likely to be more flirtatious with them.
Men with more testosterone are also more likely to be found attractive by women, according to researchers at Wayne State University in Michigan, US.
According to assistant professor of psychology Richard Slatcher – who has studied the link between testosterone and attractiveness in men – the more testosterone a man has, the more women are likely to say they click with them.
1pm
If women are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the Diet Coke hunk at lunchtime, they are less likely to be aroused than if a male colleague sees someone he fancies. Instead, studies have found that a woman’s testosterone levels are more likely to be boosted by the anticipation of sex with her own partner.
In one study by the University of Texas, women in long-distance relationships gave five saliva samples. The tests were given two weeks before they saw their partners, the day before, before sex, the day after sex and three days after the pair were separated. The women’s testosterone levels hit their peak the day before they were due to see their partners again.
6pm
As evening approaches, men’s levels of testosterone are starting to fall while women’s sex hormones are gradually rising, albeit much more slowly.
However, an after-work gym session can boost the libido of both genders. Studies have shown that testosterone levels in men are significantly higher after 30 to 40 minutes of intense resistance or endurance exercise.
Research by scientists at the University of California, San Diego, found men who exercised had a boosted libido.
They also reported having 30% more sex and 26% more orgasms.
Levels of sex hormones also spike in women after exercise. According to a study by the University of Texas, women who had 20 minutes of cardio exercise were more aroused by seeing an erotic film than women who had not exercised.
7pm
When it’s time to unwind after a stressful day, even putting on a CD to relax can affect sex hormone levels.
A Japanese study by Nara University found that music – including pop music, jazz or just a compilation of favourite songs – boosted testosterone levels “significantly” in women but had exactly the opposite effect in men.
Researchers believe the reason is that music may make women feel more relaxed, bonded and in turn more sexual, while in men it calms their aggression and in turn reduces their levels of testosterone.
8pm
If an important match is on TV, the results can also affect a man’s testosterone – depending on the result.
According to a study of saliva tests by the University of Utah, sports fans watching a World Cup game boosted hormone levels by about 20% if their team won.
After a loss in a big game, there was a 20% drop in levels. Not good news for England fans, then!
By contrast, women are more likely to be affected by actually playing sport rather than watching it.
In one study of women athletes, their testosterone levels significantly increased after long runs.
9pm
By now, a man’s testosterone level is dropping to the lowest level of the day, while a woman’s is heading towards its highest point.
But the more attractive a woman feels, the more likely it is that she will want to jump into bed with him.
“Sexual desire in women is not a simple story,” explains Gabrielle Downey.
“For men, it’s more down to testosterone. For women, the single greatest factor influencing a woman’s sex drive is body image and how attractive she perceives herself to be.
“It means that if a woman sees herself as unattractive, she is much less likely to want to have sex.
“That’s why women with polycystic ovaries, who have increased levels of testosterone, don’t have increased libido.
“They often see themselves as overweight and not attractive – and that feeling overrides their heightened sex hormones.”
10pm
Even though men’s testosterone levels are now at their lowest, they are still more likely to have sex in the evening.
“It’s been said that women need a reason and men just need a place – and I think that’s true,” says Gabrielle.
“Even though male testosterone may have dipped, their levels are still running higher than a woman’s so they are still responsive – even though the man’s levels were higher when they first woke up that morning.” Once they are making love, if a woman’s testosterone levels are peaking because of where she is during her cycle – around the 13th day – her orgasms are more intense and they will be felt all over the body.
When the levels are lower, her climaxes are less intense and centred mainly around the sexual organs.
11pm
During orgasm, the bonding hormone oxytocin is released – which helps to bring couples closer.
In males, the bonding hormone helps make the prostate and seminal glands to contract.
In women, it helps to spark uterine contractions that move the sperm towards the ovaries.
The release of oxytocin after sex also explains why men are notorious for falling asleep after making love.
“In women, oxytocin is known as the hormone of breast-feeding and muscle contractions,” says Gabrielle.
“But in men the extra boost of oxytocin has also been found to work as a neurotransmitter in the brain and may also promote sleep.”
Oxytocin’s bonding effects will last after sex, too.
In one study, Swiss researchers gave 47 couples a nasal spray containing either oxytocin or a placebo.
The pairs were then videotaped, discussing subjects that they usually rowed about.
The partners who were given oxytocin were more reasonable and less aggressive with each other.
Oxytocin was also found to have an “amnesiac” effect – which may also have allowed them to forgive each other more easily after rows!

Viewers Discretion is Strictly Advised
Still on Ebola: Texas College rejects applications from Nigeria, others
A Texas institution, Navarro College, has turned down admission applications received from countries affected by the Ebola Virus Disease, the CNBC reports.
The decision, which is coming on the heels of global move towards eradication of discrimination against people affected by the disease, has already affected two Nigerians.
Kamorudeen Abidogun, a Nigerian who lives in Texas, said he received two rejection letters from Navarro, a two-year community college with a campus about 58 miles of Dallas. Abidogun has five relatives in Nigeria who applied to the school and used his home in Richmond, Texas, as a US mailing address.
The college was said to have rejected the applications, citing confirmed Ebola cases in the country as the reason for the decision.
The letter says, “With sincere regret, I must report that Navarro College is not able to offer you acceptance for the Spring 2015 term. Unfortunately, Navarro College is not accepting international students from countries with confirmed Ebola cases.”
But the college dismissed the claim, saying it only changed its ongoing foreign student admission catchment in favour of China and Indonesia.
Abidogun said his five relatives who applied to Navarro live in Ibadan, Oyo State, which has not recorded any case of EVD.
Navarro talks about the Ebola virus on the section of its website devoted to admissions information for international students, but it does not mention any policy regarding its role in the admission process.
Idris Bello, a Nigerian who lives in East Texas, tweeted a photo of the letter to bring attention to the situation. Bello, in an interview with CNBC, described the college’s purported policy “embarrassing.”
In his tweet, Bello noted the irony of the school having such a policy for foreign students when 26-year-old nurse, Nina Pham, in nearby Dallas, recently contracted the disease after treating a Liberian victim Thomas Eric Duncan.
After repeated requests for comments on the situation, Navarro’s Vice President for Access and Accountability, Dewayne Gragg, sent an email to CNBC.com.
The email reads: “Our college values its diverse population of international students. This fall we have almost 100 students from Africa. Unfortunately, some students received incorrect information regarding their applications to the institution.
“As part of our new honours programme, the college restructured the international department to include focused recruitment from certain countries each year. Our focus for 2014-15 is on China and Indonesia.
“Other countries will be identified and recruitment efforts put in place once we launch our new honours program fall 2015. We apologise for any misinformation that may have been shared with students. Additional information regarding our progress with this new initiative will be posted on our website.”
When asked for further clarification, and to answer whether in fact there had been a policy to reject students based on the presence of Ebola in their countries of origin, Gragg said, “The prior email speaks for the college.”
There have been no new reported cases of Ebola in Nigeria since Sept. 8.
Out of 20 people reported infected as a result of contact with the Liberia-American, Patrick Sawyer, who was in the country for a conference with the virus, eight died.
But the virus was successfully contained in both Lagos and Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The containment of the disease in Nigeria had attracted commendation from different parts of the world, including the United States.
BBA Hotshots: Between Lillian and Tayo
In the past 12 days, the current edition of the Big Brother Africa reality TV show has been full of action and drama. Many fans across the continent have had to identify with the lifestyles and idiosyncrasies of the housemates.
On this show, it is obvious that there are no enemies, only hot favourites. Even the least delightful housemate seems to have earned a soft spot in every fan of the show.
However, Nigeria’s Lillian remains one of the hostest participants in the show.
Earlier, she came under intense criticism by fans for taking part in the massaging affairs that turned out to be the first major love game of the show.
Lillian actually had her bum massaged by a fellow male housemate and the gesture caught the attention of many Nigerians on social media.
Many fans are already sending signals that she could be the housemate they want to watch and vote for – the reason they want to stay glued to television sets in the coming weeks. They have already started tweeting that she “needs to improve”.
Lillian is getting all the attention she needs. Her name, her action is going viral on the internet. Still, it is too early to psychoanalyse the model.
She had described herself as “spontaneous, easy-going, focused and confident’ and says her best assets are that she’s ambitious, a good listener, flexible, persuasive, competitive, independent and original.”
Maybe these attributes will fully manifest in the course of the show. What Nigerian fans are wary of is a repetition of Beverly’ or late Goddie’s fate. Maybe, Lillian has also learnt from the past housemates in her battle to win the whopping sum of $300,000.
On the other hand, Tayo, her fellow Nigeria housemate, is already wearing the toga of a mature and focused housemate. Little wonder a fan predicted he was going to be a rallying point.
He is mature and cool-headed too, not easily distracted. He also swallows his pride and sticks to things that enhance his reputation. For instance, the manner he sorted his misunderstanding with JJ is a plus to sterling leadership skills.
Ekiti: Fayose takes over, workers call off strike
HE old, young men and women trooped out in large numbers on Thursday to witness the inauguration of Ayodele Peter Fayose as the new governor of Ekiti State.
Majority of them, dressed in different colours of the inauguration uniform, started arriving at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium venue of the ceremony in Ado-Ekiti as early as 7am.
At the ceremony, six All Progressives Congress members of the state House of Assembly that defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, were received by the PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu.
The defectors are Olowo Ajiboye, Adeloye Adeyinka, Abeni Olayinka, Fatunbi Olajide, Olugbemi Joseph and Adeojo Ayodele.
The people roared with songs as Fayose, decked in a white dansiki and sokoto, arrived at the venue at 12.40pm in a light green 1965 model Mercedez Benz W110 in company with his wife, Feyisetan. Feyisetan wore a green attire.
Apart from musicians, including Yinka Ayefele, who thrilled the crowd, there were performances by masqueraders at the sideline.
People coming into the stadium were asked to raise their hands for security checks. Security operatives had a hectic time controlling the crowd.
Three police helicopters hovered the sky of Ado Ekiti while four Armour Personnel Carriers were stationed at strategic locations.
The Commissioner of Police, Taiwo Lakanu, personally led the police team that provided security for the state Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, who administered the oath of office on Fayose and his deputy, Olusola Eleka.
Lakanu had on Wednesday night met various interest groups, including the Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria, the NURTW, okada riders and political parties.
Before delivering his inaugural speech, Fayose ordered the observance of a minute silence in honour of a former state Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Omolafe Aderiye, who was murdered by some gunmen.
Aderiye, a staunch supporter of Fayose, was killed on September 25 in the wake of violence that erupted in the state.
The new governor also asked for a minute silence to announce the ‘burial’ of the APC in the state.
One of the highlights of the speech was when Fayose decreed “stomach infrastructure” at the ceremony which was not attended by his predecessor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
He said, “My emergence is divine. That is why the more they fight me, the more they make me popular.
“When they write about me in the papers, they want me to be the governor of their imagination. But I am governor of your imagination. I am the governor that eats boli with you; the governor that drinks agbo jedi with you.
“You have successfully supported me to serve you and send them back with their agenda to their master in Lagos.”
Fayose also went spiritual in his speech when he said God spoke to him to forgive the state for his unjust removal as governor in 2006 and to also decree peace to the people.
“Today I declare peace, prosperity, progress, employment, food and stomach infrastructure,” he said.
He announced that he would appoint a special adviser for stomach infrastructure and provide rice as well as chickens for them to celebrate Christmas.
The governor said, “I will dedicate myself to your service; I will banish hunger in your midst; I will work hard to put food on your table. Whether they call it food infrastructure is their business because I’m going to appoint a Special Adviser for Stomach Infrastructure.”
“If I put car on the road and I’m hungry and my children can’t go to school, that car is meaningless. But putting food inside the stomach is very important. I’m breeding your chicken for Christmas; I’m getting your rice ready to do stomach infrastructure….”
As the jubilant crowd shouted ‘yes oh’ in appreciation, he then lashed out at the Fayemi administration for what he described as recklessness in managing the state’s finances.
He said the Fayemi administration which had 157 accounts in different banks committed the state to financial liability of N84bn.
According to him, it will take the state six years to get out of the financial burden.
He argued that despite the huge sums expended by the outgone administration there was no corresponding impact on the lives of the people of the state.
Fayose urged the people to be patient with his administration, saying the next few months would be slightly rough because of huge financial deficit to offset.
The governor said, “They have committed this state to the tune of N84bn and we are committed up until year 2020. The records are there. New discoveries will be made public very soon. They left without paying wages. Since the former governor lost election, he appointed eight permanent secretaries when there was no vacancy.
“To my amazement, he employed over 3,000 people. To my amazement, an outgoing government created 19 extra local government areas. It’s unfortunate; it is sad. And I want to appeal to you to give me all the necessary cooperation and understanding because the next few months might be slightly rough. They have every month, a deficit of N552m. I don’t know how a government can be this reckless.”
The governor, who said he left over N10.4bn in cash and sureties in the state in October 2006, expressed regret that the money was depleted by successive governments which began with the interim “quasi-military” which took over when he was removed.
Fayose accused the previous governments of serving interests other than that of the ordinary man.
He said, “My heart bleeds today that our state has been plunged into heavy debt of well over N49bn by our own brothers and sisters who claimed to be our leaders. They took a bond of N21bn and then took another N10bn. Other bank loans N15.5bn. Outstanding salaries, instead of two months, it’s now three months running to about N5bn.
“Since after election they refused to pay salary monthly salaries of about N2.4bn. When they deny this, I’ll publish it in the papers with the names of such banks and everything that went through them. I know they are good at propaganda, but the world would know that these people do not love their people.”
He added that unpaid subventions to parastatals and tertiary institutions, 2014 leave bonuses, unpaid pension and gratuities amounted to about N57.45bn, whereas monthly accruable income of the state stood at about N3.3bn.
Fayose also said he was surprised to discover that the state had 157 bank accounts and none of them has up to N1m in it.
He said he did not want to join issues with the Fayemi administration, which “was responsible for the huge debt profile,” but wanted to let the people know the state of the state’s finances.
Fayose noted that he had made history by being the first Ekiti man to take the oath of office as governor twice and also the first to have defeated two incumbents.
“When I defeated them, they said it was as a result of stomach infrastructure. How can an incumbent say that? You have the money; you have the power; you have the might; you disconnect yourself from the people. They are gone; I say they are gone,” he added.
Fayose also pleaded with the media to give him a chance as the representative of ordinary people of Ekiti State.
On the programme of his government, Fayose said the focus would be on economic empowerment; development of agriculture; infrastructural development; affordable housing schemes; education; provision of free health care for children, women and people living with disability; as well as security.
Promising that a military formation would be established in the state, he warned that civil servants who allowed politics to get in the way of their jobs would be sacked.
Fayose directed the Head of Service to return all officers redeployed on June 21 to their substantive positions.
He voided all appointments and promotions that were effected after the June governorship election and promised that a panel would be constituted to reorganise the civil service.
The governor blamed the recent events that led to the attacks on court premises and judges on the leadership of the APC. He alleged that it desperately wanted to steal the mandate that was given to him by Ekiti people.
Fayose pleaded with the judiciary and the state legislature to put those events behind them and work amicably with him for the development of the state.
He also promised to make the judiciary in the state the best in the country.
Prominent people that witnessed the ceremony were the PDP National Secretary, Prof. Olusola Oladipo; governor Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom); Olusegun Mimiko (Ondo); Theodore Orji (Abia); Liyel Imoke (Cross River); Ramalan Yero (Kaduna); Isa Yuguda (Bauchi); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Ibrahim Shema (Katsina); Usman Dakingari (Kebbi); and Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta).
Former governors Rasheed Ladoja (Oyo); Peter Obi (Anambra); and Christopher Alao-Akala (Oyo); the former PDP governorship candidates in Osun and Ondo states. Iyiola Omisore and Olusola Oke, were also in attendance.
The Chairman, South-West PDP Mobilisation Committee, Chief Buruji Kasamu; former Acting Governor of the state, Tunji Odeyemi, senatorial aspirant, Mrs. Fatima Raji-Rasaki; Minister of State for Works, Chief Dayo Adeyeye; outgoing Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro; a former Minister of Police Affairs, Caleb Olubolade, as well as royal fathers in the state led by their chairman and the Onitaji of Itaji, Oba Adamo Babalola.
Fayose appoints SSG, CPS, SAs
Fayose later announced the appointments of Dr. Modupe Alade as Secretary to the State Government and Mr. Idowu Adelusi as his Chief Press Secretary.
Owoseni Ajayi was named his Special Assistant on Legal Matters.
Adelusi, in a statement, said Kayode Oso, would serve as Fayose’s Special Assistant on Works and Infrastructure; Sola Owoeye, Special Assistant on Protocol; and Sola Olowookere, Personal Assistant ( Abuja).
Toyin Ojo was appointed special assistant on Finance; Sunday Anifowose, Personal Assistant on Special Duties and Stomach Infrastructure; Sunday Omosilade, personal assistant on Domestic Matters and Lere Olayinka, special assistant on Information and Social Media.
Workers suspend strike
Meanwhile, Ekiti State workers have suspended the two- week- old strike they declared over the the non- payment of their two-month salaries and allowances.
The State Joint Negotiating Council Chairman, Oladipupo Johnson, broke the news to our correspondent in Ado-Ekiti.
He said the workers agreed to suspend the strike in order to honour Fayose after a meeting with the Head of Service, Mr. Bunnies Famosaya.
Johnson said, “We met at the Labour House and agreed to suspend the strike in order to allow the new government settle down. This is to allow him to settle down in office to find solutions to pending issues with workers.
“That is the position as of now. We have directed all the striking unions under the JNC to ask their members to resume on Friday. We want to allow him to put an end to all the bad policies where salaries of workers will not be paid and the government will be withholding deductions, and other related issues.
“We expect all workers in the public service to resume tomorrow (Friday).”
He said the council had earlier met with government officials on Wednesday where it refused to suspend the strike pending the inauguration of Fayose.
While declaring the strike on October 2, Johnson had said, “It is unfortunate to note that in spite of the pronouncement and promises from top government functionaries, there seem to be no light at the end of the tunnel . Sequel to the following, the workers of the public service had met and directed that no worker should come to work today, October 2, 2014 and this subsists until all conditions are met.
“And any worker who refuses to obey this simple directive dos so at his or her own risk since the leaders would not take responsibility for anything that happens.”
Johnson, who said the council had been in dialogue with Fayemi in the last three months over the issues, expressed surprise that the workers were not paid even after government received two allocations.
“We don’t want to stay back and allow our people to be dying on the streets because we are gradually becoming beggars. The Government has not paid salaries in the last two months, that is why we ask them to be at home and look for alternative ways of existence
“They are owing full salaries for August and September and 60 per cent deductions in the June and July salaries. And going by evidence we had, the former governor had collected two allocations without remembering that these salaries should be paid.
“We have met with the Head of Service, the Accountant General and other relevant people and what they agreed was that the salaries will be paid by October 1, 2014.
