What do you consider condoms? Or a vasectomy?

If you mean uniquely a pill we take there were attempts for that but the side-effects would make most people pale and included lighter ones such as acne, lowered sexerive and headache (which is no more than women deal with from theirs) but also rapid weight gain, lasting tiredness and erectile dysfunction. Rather pointless taking a pill to avoid pregnancy if the pill itself makes you unable to muster the energy or erection needed for it to be useful.
That said a better pill is still in production and passed safety tests two years ago or so. Since it hasn't launched yet one can only assume it wasn't as safe. But well, we'll probably see a pill in the next 10 or so years.

What about condoms? Non-invasive, no negative health effects, only additional STD protection, and if you’re 200% sure you want no (more) kids you go for a vasectomy. Stop looking for half-working things with a lot of side effects. We should learn from the women taking hormonal anticonception for decades and not only for the better.

Probably never. Birth control pills are based off of hormones that literally tell your body to make you feel pregnant. There’s times where I wake up with morning sickness, hurt stomach, headaches etc. not sure if birth control pills could be duplicated into something useful for men

y'all had the cha ce before but kept complaining about side effects similar to what we go through, so it was sent back to the drawing board.

I mean, there is one method already as a vasectomy. but i digress.

Besides a vasectomy? As far as I know that has proven difficult. It is difficult to block sperm production without also suppressing the sex drive.

Why do you think males need one? Condoms are a real thing, you know that, right?

[AviatorTom]

There already is a form of male birth control: condoms and vasectomy.

What do you think rubbers are?

[Zebadee88]

It's called a condom.

[OddBeMe]

I’ve heard one is in development. Probably soon.

[fireforeffect]

It is called not having intercourse.

[Northernmost84]

Got a vasectomy, done having kids. There is some temporary vasectomy procedures being developed using gel plugs.

They've had all sorts for decades.

In 1839. That was the year the condom was invented. There's also the option of a vasectomy. If you specifically mean a pill, then probably in the next 5-10 years. One such pill is currently in clinical testing.
