...reliable as the Pill, is also being improved. One version now being tested is not a loop or spiral, but a "T." It is designed to be less easily expelled and less likely to cause cramps than present models. Some women believe that men should take responsibility for birth control. The old-fashioned condom is considered a bother and a distraction by many couples, however, and the male Pill is only a far-off possibility...
