Why have medical birth control methods always been developed for women, but never for men?

898 views

I know there are several trials being run right now to develop male contraceptive drugs, but historically, all such methods have been developed to act on the female body. IUD’s, skin implants, oral hormones, etc.

Is it purely because of biological / medical reasons, or are there other reasons people decided to only research female options?

I know men can get a vasectomy, but I am specifically speaking about reversible options of contraception.
