Amazed I never heard of this before:
http://www.pillwatch.com/info/heat-method-of-male-contraception.html
So I'm thinking that, rather than try to dip my nutsack in hot water for 45 minutes a day, I'm going to start using a hot water bottle or heating pad. If that works even somewhat to bring my chances of an unintended pregnancy down (and I hate condoms), then it'll be worth it.
Guess there hasn't been much research done since big pharma can't make any money from it.
No injections, no hormones, no surgery, nothing that alters the sex act itself... sounds like an ideal male contraceptive.
