carrying and storage of the sperm cells that are produced in the testes. It also is the job of the epididymis to bring the sperm to maturity, since the sperm that emerge from the testes are immature and incapable of fertilization.
The testes are responsible for making testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, and for producing sperm. Within the testes are coiled masses of tubes called seminiferous tubules. These tubules are responsible for producing the sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis.
It contains the testicles (also called testes), as well as many nerves and blood vessels. The scrotum has a protective function and acts as a climate control system for the testes

Condoms (Don't)
Condoms prevent pregnancy by creating a physical barrier to keep sperm from reaching an egg. Female condoms are inserted into the woman’s vagina. Both are available in different sizes.
Condoms don’t require a prescription and are widely available. Plus, they help protect against STDs.
However, some older women may experience vaginal dryness during intercourse, so condoms may be uncomfortable unless accompanied by lubricant.

Birth Control Shot
The birth control shot is an injection of progestin, one of the hormones found in birth control pills. Hormones are chemicals that control how different parts of your body work. The shot prevents pregnancy by keeping the ovaries from releasing eggs. It also causes cervical mucus to thicken and the lining of the uterus to thin. This keeps sperm from reaching and fertilizing an egg.
Birth Control Pill
The birth control pill, also known as oral contraceptive or “the pill,” is a medication taken daily to prevent pregnancy. Some women take the pill for reasons other than preventing pregnancy.
Contraceptive Implant
A contraceptive implant is a thin, matchstick-sized, plastic rod that is placed under the skin inside the upper arm. The contraceptive implant will prevent pregnancy for up to three years.
