Alternative contraceptives?

I'm curious about the availability of alternative male contraceptives. My girlfriend is on depro-provera injections, which are extremely effective, and we both dislike condoms. She is allergic to latex, so condom variety is severely limited for us. With her on the injections, she doesn't think we need to worry. But as little as the risk of pregnancy is, I'm still not willing to go unprotected on my part. Does anyone know of anything i could try? I have done a little bit of research, and it seem that short of a vasectomy, condoms are my only option at the moment. Any ideas? Thanks!

Sounds funny, but there's some evidence that heating your balls can lower sperm count. Other than that, I'm not sure there is anything. You are both clear of STI/STDs yes?
Im aware that there is still a risk, but if i can reduce it more, then i will. I want to have kids eventually, but im far from ready to be a father lol. and i have non-latex condoms, but pleasure is minimal with them
