99% effective is nowhere near 100%, perhaps counterintuitively. Sex twice a week for a year and you're probably in deep shit.
Bro, are you seriously against male contraception? The pill has failure rates of 9 friggin' percent of typical use. 99% for typical use would be amazing.

I'm skeptical. Anything targeting signalling pathways seems likely to have consequences that aren't apparent from animal trials. I remember a few years back that MENT (trestolone, 7α-methyl-19-nortestosterone) was being investigated for use as male contraceptive, and one of the biggest issues I recall was that it caused really wild mood swings in a number of men. Admittedly, MENT is hormonal, but I don't think that issues it caused were anticipated; I think the profile looked much more promising than it ended up being.
