If/when the male birth control pill comes to the market, who would you want to be in charge of birth control in your relationship?

So, this is a topic we discussed with friends yesterday and I was interested in hearing what GaG thinks about it as well. So, currently the male birth control pill is deemed to have too many risks, but if it was released in the market, who would you like to be responsible for birth control in your relationship, in other words who would use birth control?

25 85Can I ask you some private questions?
I take the pill, my husband didn't want me to since I struggle with some mental health issues and he worried pills might make it worse.
But I ended up having to take the pills to get normal periods, so we just do that. If i didn't have to though he would do the protection.
To be safe I say you both use it
each should be responsible for their own birth control
both people should be on it
birth control doesn't always work
but if both people are on birth control it most likely will 100%
I'm not in a relationship. But if I were and we were having sex. I'd want both of us to take birth control. Just in case someone forgets. You're double protected.
Both of us, or just him once i know its safe and effective. I've been on it for over 4 years and im so done with it lol
Ideally both.
I’ve had a vasectomy at this point.
Both. That way neither will have a dominant or last say in when we have a child. If she gets off her birth control it won't matter because I have mine. So its a checks and balance system.
I take the pill to make my periods easier, so I doubt I'm gonna stop doing that in the future
But if a guy wants to make us doubly safe, heck yeah
I'm not trusting my body with just anyone... I take care of it myself.
Trust issue so both
It depends on what has less side effects.
But for the sake of the argument, let's say they both have the "same" side effects - I'd trust me more than my girlfriend to consistently take it. LOL
I buy my own condoms, she buys her own Birth control pills /gets the implant.
When it comes time for male birth control, I'll buy mine just like she buys hers.
My wife has had her tubed tied, and is going through menopause. There is no need for us to change things up.
I think long run that is the best answer. I had a vasectomy in my early 40's and definitely would not do it again. I had nearly every side effect, and looking back, it is subtly emasculating. But for a young man, if they came out with a new male "pill" with ZERO side effects, it might be a great solution.
If it doesn't effect testosterone levels then I would be all for it.. we wouldn't have to be afraid of being lied to and trapped
I don't believe in the pill
We would more likely just do Natural family planning.
I think the best way to play it safe is to have both partners use it, especially since they don't guarantee a 100% protection.
I think the choices in this poll are too narrow
I agree.
I’m getting a vasectomy so I don’t have to worry about any of that
The woman still holds the child for nine months. It’s both partners responsibilities but still would more so be the woman’s in my opinion
