What contraceptive treatments are there available for men?

Are there any reversible contraceptive treatments commercially available for men? (E.g. a male version of the pill, or the implant?)

This seems to have been the topic of quite a lot of interest (the Wikipedia page on Male Contraceptives cites that hemp seeds was used for this purpose as early as 40 CE) and the same page lists a number of “Methods in Development” – yet there seems to be no products or treatments commercially available anywhere.

Tell me I’m missing something.

The literature I picked up from Planned Parenthood suggests that only physical methods are available at this time for male temporary birth control, such as condoms, withdrawl, and "outercourse". Web source
