Is there a male birth control pill?

No: At this time, there is no male birth control pill. The only option for men is the condom. There are studies undergoing clinical trials to study male birth control pills but this is not available yet.

Someday: Male hormonal birth control pills/shots/implants are still a long ways away. Clinical trials are happening at UCLA (Harbor) and University of Washington (Seattle) and they are promising. For the time being, men can use male/female condoms, get a vasectomy, withdraw, be aware of their partner's fertile times, and abstain. Condoms probably the best option if used correctly.
