Well, first, you'd have to make something all natural with no permanent side effects.  Scientifically, and I'm not trying to be sexist, just a realist...   It is much easier to have a female body trick itself into thinking it is already pregnant than render sperm unable to do its task.  The worst thing to sperm is heat, but you'd have to have only the scrotum heat up, not any other part of the body, because the increase of body heat is not good for a human.  You start seeing the downfalls of trying to make birth control pills for him?  Trust me, I had already tried and tried to think of one for men, and how it would work.  I've come up with nothing but dead ends and potential dangers.

Hye this is what I found from ROBERT ANDERSON, M.D.:\n"  Caffeine's effect on your sperm count depends on the health of your reproductive system. If you have a low sperm count, caffeine may increase your fertility. If your sperm count is normal, however, caffeine might decrease your chances of impregnating your partner. "\n\nSo there you have, but he later admits no real conclusive studies have been made, I would suggest to stay away from all energy drinks though, as they are banned in several countries, because not enough research has been done on the subject, and there have been problems with them.

The following are herbal supplements, natural products, and over-the-counter medications that have been publicized for their reported effects on infertility. \n\nVitamin E\nUse:  Prevent damage to sperm cells by acting as an antioxidant.\nEffects: Some cases of male infertility are thought to be caused by high levels of reactive oxygen radicals. Vitamin E lowers the amount of reactive oxygen species, thus helping to maintain the structure and function of sperm. Supplementation with Vitamin E may also aid in improving sperm mobility.\nSide Effects: None known \n\nZinc Sulfate\nUse/Effects: Zinc plays an important role in the formation of new sperm and maintenance of sperm mobility.\n\nYohimbe Bark \nUse:  Primary use is for impotence.\nEffects: Helps to achieve an erection. One study found that yohimbe is more effective in treating impotence compared to a placebo or sugar pill.\n\nGINSENG \nUse/Effects: Thought to increase sexual stamina and reduce fatigue. Recent findings suggest that it may help increase sperm counts and motility, although this is still uncertain.\nSide Effects: Tolerated well when used in suggested doses.

There are no advantages or disadvantages, it's just a short term weather cycle.  It's like asking what's the advantage to rain?  It you're asking, it doesn't influece global warming or any crap like that.

One proven medical advantage:\nFilling your prostate with prostatic fluid and then releasing it by regular sex or masturbation cleans your "ducts" (prostatic canals) making you less susceptible to prostate cancer. The same thing probably applies to testes/testicular cancer.\nMen who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life.\n\nMasturbation also protects you from getting a STD. However, it also lowers your libido a bit which means that if you masturbate a lot, you may not have a motivation to find a sexual partner and that may actually put you into evolutionary disadvantage over others.\n\nOh yes, one last thing. It burns calories too :-) But probably lower than regular sex, where copulation movements are a part of the fun.

Advantages  back to top  \n\nPrevents the spread of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV and AIDS. \nProtects the vagina and vulva. \nDoes not reduce a male partner's stimulation. \nAvailable without a prescription. \nNo hormonal side effects. \nCan be used by people with latex sensitivities. \nPrelubricated and can be used with oil and water-based lubricants. \nCan be inserted before sex play begins. \nInsertion can be part of sex play. \nErection not necessary to keep condom in place. \nDoes not affect future fertility. \nDisadvantages \n\nNoticeable during sex. \nSometimes difficult to insert or use. \nDoes not contain spermicide. \nCan break or leak. \nAbout three times more expensive than male condoms. \n\nThe female condom can be washed and reused several times and still meet structural standards set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to a study conducted in South Africa.1 When a sample of women washed, dried and relubricated female condoms up to seven times, the devices continued to meet FDA requirements with respect to the amount of pressure they could withstand and the strength of their seams. Five holes were detected in the 295 condoms used, but these were not associated with the number of times the condom was used.\n\nA sample of 50 women--predominantly commercial sex workers and clients at an inner-city sexually transmitted disease clinic--were enrolled in the study and instructed in how to clean a female condom for reuse. (The procedure consisted of rinsing the condom; washing it for 60 seconds with liquid detergent; rinsing it; patting it dry with clean tissues or towels, or air-drying; and relubricating it with vegetable oil just before reusing.) Participants were given a condom and asked to use, wash and reuse it, and return it to the study site for laboratory testing. If the condom was found to be structurally sound, the women were asked to repeat the cycle with a new condom, reusing it twice; the cycle was repeated until the women washed a single condom seven times (i.e., used it a total of eight times).

Advantages: Improved crop yield with better nutrition of the food, curing diseases, preventing diseases.\n\nDisadvantages: For crops, the economic reality is that we produce too much food as it is.  America has an ENORMOUS amount of surplus food. Better nutrition? Nice idea but farmers want to grow more, not better.

Um, suppository, you mean. Well, there's a good chance the guy you'd have sex with could be allergic to the spermicide (a weirdly good chance, it is sperm-poison, after all, and any poison's got a lot of side effects), and it'd just ruin the whole flow and feel and gorgeousness of things. The best thing when it comes to safe sex and avoiding pregnancy is to use a condom, enough lubricant, and get no sperm/precum anywhere around the, uh, v-thing. heh. water-based lube sort of makes sure the condom can't break easily by reducing friction.\n\nwhich means, lesser chance of ejaculate leaking out, lesser chances of getting pregnant.

The main advantages are that it's cleaner to produce and burn than gasoline or other conventional fuels.  The main disadvantages are that it's more expensive to produce and the energy yield per mole is lower.

Advantages - fast creation, easily modified and saves money\n\nDisadvantages - data can be lost or corrupted, needs backing up all the time.
