Govt planning to inject genitals

JAKARTA: The government is intensifying its campaign for men's
participation in the national family planning program by offering
contraceptive through injections.

National Family Planning Board head Yaumil Agoes Achir told
the House of Representatives on Monday that the method was
undergoing feasibility tests at the University of Indonesia in
Jakarta and at Sriwijaya University in Palembang before its
application next year.

The injection, into a man's genitals, will cause men to be
infertile for two months.

"The injected contraceptive will not harm masculinity," Yaumil
told the hearing.

She expressed concern that of the 25.5 million couples
registered as of July this year, men accounted for only 1.17
percent of contraceptive users. Most men used condoms. -- Antara
