Résumé : The present state of male contraception is reviewed with reference t o pharmacological methods only. Since spermatogenesis is the results of a long chain of endocrine mechanisms starting in the hypothalamus, any review of contraceptive techniques must follow these physiological links . Spermatogenesis itself involves different stages and each of them can be a target for pharmacological compounds. Although no drug is currently available that offers all the necessary guarantees required of a contraceptive, interesting interconnections have nevertheless emerged. In consequence there are grounds for moderate optimism as to the availability of a male contraceptive in the coming years.
