Finally, birth control/ contraceptive options for men

[sjoes006]

Pill, gel, tale it as you will

I’m excited to see these options come into fruition.

Obviously there are side effects including in a small amount, decreased sex drive, the pill has the same affect on women to a greater degree.

But the the option is now coming available. If a man doesn’t want kids anytime soon he will soon have his own control over that. No worrying about condoms breaking and being left in the wind for her to decide.

Obvy we all want safe sex. But men deserve equal choice and protection when it comes to how and when they want kids.

That is choice preconception. After that it’s a woman’s body so it’s a bit late but they should have more options on the table prior to ever getting to “opps”.

I always feel for the guy in that situation. Legally he’s responsible for child support and he did mess up as did she. But then guys get overly paranoid about not getting someone pregnant.

You realize how much of your income is gone forever for a child your barely see.

[Benedek38]

Oh, not this shit again...
STOP MAKING MALE CONTRACEPTION HAPPEN. It's not going to happen. Not to men who value themselves.

But let's go through this once more. I've already written a lengthy answer about this a while ago, but I guess this is like vaccination - you need refreshment sometimes.

So.
"Obviously there are side effects including in a small amount, decreased sex drive, the pill has the same affect on women to a greater degree."
Lie.
The "pill" for men has vastly more damaging long term consequences. IIRC Out of the rougly 1000 participants in the testing group almost everyone reported drastic loss of sex drive, occasional impotency, 3 people became temporarily impotent (for weeks), one person became quasi-permanent impotent (they had to cure him for several months), and one person chose to take his life (there is no 100% correlation, but it's hard to ignore).
So it is fairly safe to say that when compared to female contraception, male contraception is simply cruel.

To understand why that is, we have to understand how the drug works. Put simply - it's chemical castration. It shuts down testosterone production in the testicles, along with sperm production. The female equivalent of that would be losing your ovaries. Sounds fun, right? Except they wouldn't come back.
And they don't for men, either. The damage is irreparable.

Now, later iterations to bring back to public awareness this insidious drug attempted to counterbalance the testosterone killing effect by introducing exogenous testosterone (essentially steroids) in the body. This indeed successfully counterbalances the impotency and the testosterone destroying effects.
IT ALSO PERMANENTLY SHUTS DOWN TESTOSTERONE PRODUCTION. FOREVER.
That's why bodybuilders can never stop taking that stuff. If they do, their body would collapse, they would look like old ladies, because their body wouldn't maintain their muscles.

So in essence, you'd be stuck taking contraceptive for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. Or take cheaper and more effective steroids - which are banned, and can get you jailed for 5 years. Fun, right?

I don't know what the myTake owner's motivation is. But the male contraceptive pill is an evil attempt at neutering and biologically emasculating men. DO NOT believe the hype, please. This is a dangerous game, and you could ruin your body for the rest of your life!

[Benedek38]

A healthy altenative would of course be financial abortion - basically, the man is not responsible for the child. After all, it's the woman's body - her choice - her responsibility. But feminists won't support that of course - that would be putting women at a disadvantage in society! (except that's not true, that would only give men the same choice women have!)

[Reggieray]

Dude I've read the same case study on this matter, but failed to save or bookmark it. Can you PM me the link?

[Benedek38]

@Reggieray There were more studies, here's one I have found after quick googling
academic.oup.com/jcem/article/101/12/4779/2765061
THis is my favourite part:
"The cumulative reversibility of suppression of spermatogenesis after 52 weeks of recovery was 94.8 per 100 continuing users"
Translated to English - 5.2% of the participants did NOT start producing sperms after a year of recovery. I think it's safe to say they were either permanently, or semi-permanently sterilized.
Hooray male contraception... I guess.

[sjoes006]

Ideally both parties would be on BC.

[drsexthingy]

Right 😶 ? vasalgel anyone? It can be done more quickly than a conventional vasectomy and is easily undone with one shot.

[winterfox10]

I would personally never take something like that, but I could see why it would appeal to someone. I have this belief that "accidents" don't really happen where cumming inside is concerned. It's not like our orgasms sneak up on us, you know what's happening... if the guy doesn't pull out, it's because he's a douchebag

[sjoes006]

Yeah but precum does the job just as well. Pull out isn’t a great method.

[winterfox10]

I get what you're saying... Considering all the things that need to happen for someone to get pregnant, it's incredibly unlikely with precum alone. I use condoms for a reason.

[Cynicaldreamer]

-Most of the women's replies to this topic: Birth control for men? That's great! Now they can be responsible for preventing pregnancy too!
-Most of the men's replies to this topic: That is the stupidest crap I ever heard of! I'm not taking it, especially if it decreased my sex drive!

Not even a little surprised at the replies, haha. Saw it coming a mile away. So glad to see how everyone can discuss this topic in a mature, reasonable manner!

[FakeName123]

Way to go to ignore several people explaining how the side-effects of this pill are vastly more severe.

[Cynicaldreamer]

@FakeName123 You mean just like female contraceptives have side effects that can be severe or affect our health too? Yes, how close minded of me to "ignore" that. No birth control is perfect- but over time they will tweak and adjust them until they get it right. The point is, there are now means for men to help prevent pregnancies too instead of the females doing the majority of the work (not all, most). But most men are just harping on the negatives instead of the positives.

[sjoes006]

I upvoted on your retort. Yes, HELLO WORLD, female forms of hormonal birth control have really serious risks, side effects and even have been significantly linked with obstructing natural mate selection. Greater risk of cancer almost never gets discussed. This has been the main BC for over 50 years so doctors just assume risks are known or just that benefit outweighs the gain and pharmacists play right along. I found out the true impact of taking the pill in college thorugh biochemical/ pharma/ psychology of sex courses. We didn’t spend a lot of time on them but I had at least three different professors tell students to look into it and other methods available if concerned. I had a diaphragm for a while. But after leaving the university health system I found it very hard to find an GYN that would give me any BC other than the pill. I wouldn’t take it. Finally got an IUD.

[sjoes006]

I don’t blame men for being shocked and alarmed at the side effects. They are shocking and alarming. BUT no one gave a shit when it was the women who had to bare the day to day life altering side effects. In Science Journals this is been a long talked about issue for the past 5-7 years. Practitioners are aware of the newer research that indicates cancer and the shift in hormones resulting in adverse mate selection. Examples of women getting off the pill and not being attracted to their husband anymore. His natural odor is no longer attractive. Sounds weird but there have been consistently replicated studies with the same findings. Point is, this isn’t a zero sum game. It isn’t one or the other takes BC, it’s just a new freedom and choice for men to take if they want. I don’t see it as, oh well let the guy take the pill and I’m done with BC. It’s more or a everyone takes BC and has more personal control over their wishes.

[Max_SS]

I personally believe that both man and women shouldn't take these contraceptives. It fucks up everyone's hormones

[Randomawkwardness]

Wouldn't this have to make the male sterile? Like please correct me if I'm wrong but a females birth control is basically mimicking the hormones sent out in pregnancy which deters sperm from the egg. If the female isn't taking birth control then I think it would have to make the male sterile to avoid pregnancy.

[Benedek38]

It is. It has insane health hazards, it permanently wrecks the guy's hormonal system, leads to loss of sex drive, impotency, depression, muscle loss, temporary or permanent impotency and sterilization; not to mention faster aging, osteoporosis, etc. The myTake owner is simply evil, or uninformed. I am glad you are educated, and noticed the dangers. We need more kind, observant young ladies like you :-D

[FakeName123]

You are perfectly correct. As a result the side-effects are vastly more severe of this pill in comparision to female pills. And even the side-effects of the female pill is already borderline inacceptable.

[Torari]

1/100 test subjects killed themselves. That's says all i need to know about the male pills side effects.

[sjoes006]

@Benedek38 evil is up for debate, but illinformed i am not.

This isn’t the best source reference but since the new trial testing of gel BC for men is so hot the more scientific articles are barries in a search.

www.google.com/.../amp

There’s no way that I’m going to quit taking BC because my guy is. This isn’t either or.

If I were a young single guy I would be excited that people are even working on giving men a first line or defense against unwanted pregnancy.

I know many guys who felt this way. They feel like they don’t have a say. Women trick them by not taking pills or whatever.

There’s no shifting of burden, this is simply a potentially great advancement for men who want control over their reproductive rights.

[Trippinonsex]

The tests were canceled because of the sterile side effect and nothing is fda approved yet that I have seen. So far an unproven concept. If side effects were the same as the woman’s pill no man would object, but not the case medically yet...

[Benedek38]

@sjoes006 OK, I have to chime in here. I didn't play to, and I won't make a long reply, but your lack of research angers me very much. The source you linked isn't a study. It's talking about a drug that's ABOUT TO BE TESTED. What's the difference, you might ask. Very simple - ANYONE can say "It will work this time!", but that doesn't mean it will. The article acknowledges that the previous tests were catastrophic. And maybe they will approve it now. But if that is the case, I am willing to bet they will mingle the data to push through their drug. The fact is that the PRINCIPLE of the drug is severely flawed. Sperm production and testosterone production are closely related. Attacking one, while leaving the other untouched, is basically impossible. At least chemically it is. Vasectomy can do that, but that's a permanent solution, sadly.

[Boromir]

As long as it's safe and fertility comes back after stopping using it, it's a great change that now also men have a choice, we only had condoms or vasectomies in the past, so two thumbs up !!! Also curious to see if any side effects other then the lowered libido were seen, e. g. is there a risk of birth defects if one sperm cell still peeps through and fertilises an egg...

[coolbreeze]

Hopefully the pill works..

[sjoes006]

There’s actually a gel that is applied on men’s shoulders going through FDA right now. That is the one that is interesting. Either way, I just feel this is long overdue. Men deserve a way to control there reproduction decisions other than condoms and their partner keeping up on her pill. I don’t rely on the pill for many reasons. But all too often did I hear, after leaving for college from the people who stayed at home, how she missed a pill on purpose or whatever. It does happen, some women get pregnant on purpose without consent of their partner. It isn’t right, i think everyone would feel easy if they both had control.

[coolbreeze]

Very true. I knew girls that got pregnant on purpose. It should be a mutual decision. The only bad things girls tell me about the pills is the bad side effects it has. The gel should be interested. True it should be the choice of both men and women if they want kids or not.

[sjoes006]

It’s certainly a personal choice in method. I don’t like the pill my favourite was the diaphragm but most doctors consider it outdated and you have to put it in a while before sex and take it out like 12 hours later. My method works for me and I wouldn’t change it for a guy using his method. I just know when the copper IUD became available and had some years of application behind it I was excited. Plan B is nice for when condoms fail and Uale is making. It available in vending machines on campus. I don’t need it but I guess as a guy relying on condoms I’d trust it as a back up.

[MlleCake]

I'm a feminist and I support men having more choices for contraception. Totally support the development of new technologies of this type.

[9chase]

you care to pm?

[englisc]

Simple yes or no question: would you encourage a man to take anabolic steroids?

[Alice18]

Oral and Anal the best birth control

[Drooogie4]

I'm excited about it. I hope it catches on and becomes a norm. Double bc pills for the win

[TimeSplittersxvc]

You must really hate men.

[Drooogie4]

@TimeSplittersxvc why? I'm on the pill, if they can make it so men can take control of their end, that's a bad thing?

[Eva323]

This stuff always worries me. The first birth control pill for women killed a lot of them. Even today it increases rates of cancer by about 9% which isn’t, you know, 30%, but still is a deterrent. I’m opposed to artificially messing with your hormones so the fact that women take birth control 24/7 is concerning. My mother even tried to get me to use it for acne at one point. If men start to use this, I hope they only do if they expect to have sex in the next few months instead of just blanketing their lives with it like women often do from the time they’re sexually active to the time they hit menopause. I know that taking hormones for reproductive cancers and for gender transitioning can permanently destroy fertility so I hope they’ve done some long term tests to be sure this doesn’t.
* I haven’t done any research into this so these could not be a real concern I don’t know. This is just my first reaction to it.

[Christiangirl99]

Isn't one of the side effects erectile dysfunction, loss of sex drive and suicide?

[DakotaNorth]

Much like taking estrogen except for the suicide part

[Benedek38]

@DakotaNorth Bullshit. Estrogen by default is a much less potent hormone than testosterone. That's why women can take oral contraception, but taking oral steroids would wreck your kidneys. And the side effects for male contraception are thousands of times more severe than for women's.

[Christiangirl99]

@DakotaNorth yeah but doctors also prescribe contraception to women for reasons other than birth control.

[kaewk]

Hey here’s an idea..
don’t have sex if you’re not ready for a baby.
Problem solved :o

[kevinN88]

I don't thing it would be beneficial for men, birth control pill for men is bad idea.

[sjoes006]

As it is for women, but more so. I don’t take it. But to each their own, options are options and we should all be glad to have them. The more the better.

[Belgie]

Finally? Condoms were invented AGES ago.

[sjoes006]

They fail ALL the time.

[Belgie]

They really don't, when used correctly. You and your partners should read the instructions next time.

[Riggers]

Wow.. who gives...

[Bloody_Claw]

OK I need to put some more research into this but isn't this the pill that caused suicidal depression and that was the reason for the study being aborted?
And in addition to that lowered sex drive, erectile distinction and could also cause a permanent sterilisation?
Don't get me wrong if there would be a risk free pill for man I would be all for it but this one sorry not sold on.
I rather then go with the option condom or only have sex with a partner you also would not mind having a child with and I want to spent the rest of my life with.

[normalice]

Contraceptive options for men have been around for a while. Perhaps not in pill form, but vasectomies have been a thing for some time

[NatashaJ]

Wow, they fixed the issues and apparently we closer to the cure of aids Jesus.

[passinby]

I chose the safest most effect method already, vasectomy, precisely because: "You realize how much of your income is gone forever for a child your barely see."

I would never trust that or the female pill.

Similar to one of my lying ex-s:

[Factshurt90]

The selfish bullshit falling out of men’s mouth over the side effects of taking a pill to prevent pregnancy😂
This is why I have no sex drive with men lately. I can’t with the bullshit.

[octopusrebellion]

Oh cry me a river. You have 30+ ways to keep from getting knocked up. You don't want to take a pill? IUD for you. God forbid men give a shit about our health.

[Benedek38]

Pff, yeah, it's just sexist bullshit. God forbid I don't want to suffer from: loss of sex drive impotency depression muscle loss temporary or permanent impotency sterilization faster aging osteoporosis etc. But I'm the selfish one. Women's contraception doesn't have more side effects than a regular painkiller.

[FakeName123]

Way to be a child. "You are a meanie so I gonna be mean as well". Fact is that hormonal contraceptions are incredibly dangerous to the body. Fact is also that the male contraceptive pill has vastly WORSE side-effects due to testerone being a way more potent hormone than estrogene.

[TimeSplittersxvc]

yes cry me a river, all women ever do is whinge about how hard done by they are and how men have it easy. Even thought they have an internal get out of jail card for everything. Women are the selfish gender.

[sjoes006]

@octopusrebellion IUD’s come with some very serious risk factors as well. I had a hard time finding a GYN that believed enough in them and I had to go through extensive counseling on the risks. If it moves you may need surgery, increases risk of infection which may land you sterile or it can tear the uterine wall rendering the woman unable to bear a child. This last one is why so many physicians didn’t want to give me one since I don’t have kids. Small but significant chance of needing surgery to remove it. Have to get scans to make sure it hasn’t moved. Rough sex hitting the cervix can cause it to move. Hopefully one day men will have “30+” options too.

[sjoes006]

@Benedek38 the pill has at least half of these named adverse affects on women but in addition to these is cervical cancer and failure to properly select a mate. People’s either smell good or bad, not BO. Just a normal attraction, scent plays a major role in mate selection. BC tricks women into thinking they are pregnant and leads them to men who smell like Dad or a care taker. Once off BC your brain shifts what pheromones are attractive to you. Men really less on pheromones but, yes this is probably something men would also experience.

[octopusrebellion]

Oh sure. My point is that you have lots of options and can weight the pros / cons. We have few options - luckily that's changing. We have every right to be as choosy as you in regards to our health.

[Trippinonsex]

In case you haven’t noticed... ED meds have strong side effects and men take them. So men are willing to take something with side effects. But, this is not fda approved because the test results came back horrible and they canceled the trials. This option is still a long way off

[iskg679]

I don't think this is real. Can you give me an example of a company that has made this a reality?

[Wowgirl10q]

@iskg679 I would not want my man talking hormones.. You guys moody enough already😂

[Nivinxus]

I was never a fan of the female pill, neither am I a fan of the Male pill. If I wanted safe sex, Condoms the way to go.

Ideally, my partner would be adult enough to speak her boundaries and so would I.

[NeglectedChild]

If it means finding less used condoms in the street I'm all for it.

[ADFSDF1996]

Meh, too many risks and side effects from the pill. It’s still in it’s early stages.

[nathanp97]

Wait so guys are supposed to wear a condom and take the pill? That hardly seems fair.

What I really want to see is male financial abortion rights. If men don't want to be parents they should have the same choice to opt out of it like women do (obviously this depends on where you live).

[newPython]

Where is a web link for this?

[happyhippo]

Honestly, I think it's great men have that option, but I also think it's still not worth to take it. The side effects are too many for the male pill, more than the ones for females. If I was a guy, I wouldn't take it before it has less of those.

[sjoes006]

You obviously don’t know how toxic the pill is for your body. It makes you attracted to the wrong men by scent preferring men that smell like your dad since your body thinks it is pregnant. Cancer, low sex drive... I don’t take it. I have an IUD with no hormones.

[happyhippo]

I said it's not worth taking it. Why do you think I don't how bad it is? :D Also aren't people attracted to others that are alike their parents anyway? I think that's kind of a stupid reason not to take it, comparing to the other more serious ones.

[girish1995]

Absolutely agree with you happy hippo

[Benedek38]

@sjoes006 "You obviously don’t know how toxic the pill is for your body. It makes you attracted to the wrong men by scent preferring men that smell like your dad since your body thinks it is pregnant." 1) That's pseudoscience, there isn't even proof that humans can sense pheromones. In fact after extensive research we weren't able to find any human ability for sensing pheromones. 2) Oh cry me a river, while male contraception makes men permanently impotent and permanently infertile, not to mention ruining their body, damaging muscles, organs, bones, etc... "Cancer, low sex drive..." 1) Actually there isn't a clearly defined tendency for women's contraception for lowering sex drive 2) Cancer is a risk for every kind of contraception, or every kind of drug really. But the rates are almost negligable. But keep spreading misinformation, you lying sack of... sunshine and goodness.

[Trippinonsex]

Makes you attracted to the wrong men... so you have a study in that cause I’d be curious as to what they used as the control subject. No one wants side effects. If the side effects were equal to the female pill no man would care. IE see side effects from viagra and the like and men take it (risk blindness, heart problems, permanent Ed, headaches etc). The male pill is not fda approved and has been highly dangerous. Way more than anything the female pill has seen. Get educated about it before just assuming random stuff

[OvershareGamer]

I'm not sure on any of the medical issues but I doubt this will come out ever.
The gov't cares about three things taking everyones money and enslaving everyone to their system and hoping everyone reproduces a lot to take their money.

If there is a totally safe male birth control pill the population will CRASH.

[Drumlin2001]

I would need convincing on any chemical/hormone contraceptive for men or women, I know from experience that its not always effective. I'll stick with condoms for the time being thanks

[ChocolateCheesecake]

I think that's good for some but I know a lot of guys that are very forgetful haha

[Wolframium]

:-D If you decrease my sex drive my a small amount, it really becomes non existent. So I suppose that's win for the birth control pill.
But yeah, big thumbs up for some option like this. It equalizes the playing field a bit.
I just wish you've included some links in article.

[Reggieray]

>If a man doesn’t want kids anytime soon he will soon have his own control over that. No worrying about condoms breaking and being left in the wind for her to decide.

Yeah, chemically castrate yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing the first round of health problems manifest themselves in the soyboys and cucks. Thanks for the mammaries.

[Stripes99]

“Being left in the wind for her to decide”. Would it not be for both of them to decide?

[Nik1hil]

When and where can I buy this

[Elizabeth22ilu]

Yay! I am glad that these pills are now available for men. 😜

[front2back]

Great for someone, personally I think condoms with spermicide are the much better option.

[CasaNorba]

oh wow thank God is here! lets see how many feminists are gonna be enraged by this

[TimeSplittersxvc]

Oh no, they will love it because it will mean even less responsibility for women.

[CasaNorba]

@TimeSplittersxvc not here in America. over here women who have kids with random losers will automatically be rewarded with extra income from the government. child support, alimony, welfare, food stamps just to name a few

[TimeSplittersxvc]

@CasaNorba we are the same here in the UK. They get a free council house as well which could go to someone more in need like disabled people. In fact women get knocked up on purpose to get benefits, housing and then dump the guy because they realise it is more beneficial to be a single mum. This is what happens when we allow feminazis and white knights in government.

[CasaNorba]

@TimeSplittersxvc you couldn't of said it any better. now think of how much of a disadvantage all these lazy good for nothing women who seek this lifestyle are gonna have if we weren't unable to impregnate them in the first place

[TimeSplittersxvc]

Yes exactly, in fact i think this could be a good thing.

[Wowgirl10q]

You going to trust him to remember that? Girl,,,,

[Danny_dan92]

I think it’s cool. BUT would only consider taking it after extensive testing. I don’t wanna end up taking it and then risk getting testicular cancer or some shit

[Gopnik]

or getting gyno because your testosterone is decreased to such an extent you will get moobs, which is what some of these control pills do

[es20490446e]

Sensitive condoms are more secure, as you cannot forget to put them on, and equally as pleasurable as having raw sex.

So I don't see why anybody should want to take chemicals.

[Ranger2019]

I think its great.

[worldscolide]

I am actually happy to see this.. though you will see feminists screaming about it because they can no longer have "Happy Accidents" which are never actually happy accidents but attempts at paternity fraud. It gives me some power when controlling weather or not he has to be responsible for an unwanted child.

[ClauseViter]

People are so eager to pop pills without understanding how substantially they influence the behavior of the endocrine system... it's scary.

[ROCKS128]

Some dumb people use such contraception methods and regret it in later stage of live without even knowing.

There are better options.
No tq.

[sjoes006]

Yep, true.

[loveslongnails]

Not a bad option, though I prefer being snipped! Takes all the worry out and since I never, ever want kids, its cool.

[FatherJack]

Probably the safest option , would be killing / greatly reducing the male sex drive ( but without interfering with testosterone levels and their beneficial effects ) , as well as a contraceptive effect. This would benefit women too , a lot less " thirsty " males bugging them , most male attention is unwanted by women , men in relationships not bugging their partners for sex ( males have on average , far higher sex drives than women , which can be problematic ) when she is not in the mood , and less frustrated males. This would be tough to develop.

[FatherJack]

on a personal note I am so glad my sex drive has faded greatly , it is like being freed from a curse. Good job too , as I'm a single dad , which = permanent celibacy.

[DakotaNorth]

And so you don't tell her you're taking this... and she wonders why she's not getting pregnant... what do you do then?

[0112358]

That could potentially be done by women now. (or men with vasectomies). A relatively lower risk then the opposite, which also happens - people telling their partner they are taking a pill, when they're not.

[murdanyc916]

Yeah right, like a mans responsible for a woman opening her legs, rediculous!

[KamikazeMIR]

Only low-T, soy-boy, beta, bugmen would ever even consider using "birth control"... When my girl's ovulating, I just stick it up her ass.

[KamikazeMIR]

4 butt-hurt feminist down-voted. "Butt Hurt". Get it? 😂

[Sososinaxoxo]

I hope you're trolling

[LegateLanius]

I'm not going to fuck with my hormones.

[sjoes006]

Love this response, Neither will I! Welcome to the table.

[LegateLanius]

Excellent!

[Waffles731]

I plan to get a vasectomy.
I'm unwilling to give another soul my awful genes as ASD and Depression are genetic

[TimeSplittersxvc]

Nothing wrong with ASD, i have it. It is the best disability you can have, it just that there is a lot of oppression.

[Lance1965]

I would take it but the side-effect of a decreased sex drive would be a problem. Too many pills have this side effect already.

[Anon-ymous1]

I have a much better, completely free, no-possibility-of-bodily-harm method for male birth control options-- have high standards and stop seeking sex with females who are slovenly, overweight, unattractive, or mean-spirited. That cuts out about 80% of your available options, which is a pretty good and effective way to stop oneself from encounters that one will regret later.

[weirdoweirdo]

Pfft never gonna take that🙃 I'd rather just fucking pay child support if I have to... Although I dont see why i would need to pay that as it's not like I'd be running away from my problems... So?

[Northern_star]

this is the beginning of sy good.

[Journeyman11]

The pill decreases a woman's sex drive? I thought this was only the case during her ovulation

[Hurlyburly]

I can confirm that it indeed can decrease a woman's sex drive significantly (up to non-existent) for the full amount of time you're taking it. Among with some other side effects like mood swings and depression.

[Trippinonsex]

Last I saw they canceled the study and have not passed fda approval because it made too many men completely sterile. I’m all for it if they make an equivalent, but as of now it is a ways off. Any source on this?

[Daniel3035]

? Umm not that i’m aware of there’s a pill that could be with us in 3 years that’s undergoing trials with actual couples. And a gel that just did the same thing the only thing I know that got cancelled was an the injection for too many side effects.

[sjoes006]

@Daniel3035 I concur

[vald9inches]

we dont need this what we really need is an eradication of all stds!

[Daniel3035]

That’s unfortunately impossible. Bacteria is everywhere eventually it mutates. You kill of one strain it will just develop into another the only way is to let nature take its course but not on our bodies hence the importance of condoms regardless of being 50 or 16.

[vald9inches]

@Daniel3035 i am not talking about ALL bacteria lol just std and it is possible we already eradicate some types

[sjoes006]

So you rather risk knocking a random girl up in an either/ or situation than getting the clap? Sounds like you are definitely against condoms but have your priorities. My thing is, condoms break, fail get left inside all the time. Especially amongst the young and inexperienced. At which point, choice is out of the male partners control. I was never running around thinking oh, e use condoms so I don’t need BC mirmshould a man. He should at least have the equal option to take BC or other measures to make sure he isn’t paying child support on a one night hook up.

i mean there are already tons of birth control options out there thats why i think std are more higher on the list now but dont get me wrong if there was birth control for men with very little side effects i might consider them

... I wasn’t talking about every bacteria just saying it’s everywhere and hence ineradicable. We haven’t exactly eradicated anything physically when they say we eradicated small pox etc it means became immune but the small pox still exists in our world.

@Daniel3035 but in the end its possible

[Daniel3035]

In the end it’s possible sometime in the future. But we don’t know the consequences the cost or what technology I mean we could burn the world literally and have nothing but cinders or we could use acid and damage our property at it expense etc it’s all possible but when you consider stuff like cancer etc for us scientists to solve it would take a lot of “free time” say if the world was at peace.

The best birth control for men is MGTOW.

I can't believe a pill exist for men.

I' m snipped and certified zero count for over three years so I don't care one way or the other.

I honestly cannot wait the sooner the better.

Stop 1 egg or tones of sperm cells.
Female contraception is better as it is way more accurate.

Good post. But until they come outmwith. a 100 percent safe birth control for guys not many will choose it

[sjoes006]

True, give it sometime to be tested before jumping on the horse. But it’s an exciting option I mean, I’d never be like, we’re using condoms so it’s good. People should use condoms for many reasons but they aren’t full proof.

[pizzalovershouse]

Very true
