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 85I wouldn't use it unless it was deemed safe, and then it would need to be on the market without bad or permanent side effects for at least 10 years first.
If I am in a relationship again and we get to the point of living together, I wouldn't want either of us to use it though.
I am waiting on it like most people wait on a new Marvel movie
It depends completely on the risks
Whoever doesn't want a baby should use birth control.
Obviously birth partners are responsible adults... Thus both are obliged to care for bc. Who takes the pill doesn't matter in this scenario.
Both partners*
Men can't be trusted to find the other sock by themselves. Hell, imagine being in charge of birth control.
Too. many new babies
Fairly sexist comment. Women can’t be trusted to take out the trash or fix a leaky faucet...
Won't happen, they've tried multiple times since like the 60s. Feminists shut it down everytime.
A pill would be awesome. I'm not doing the kind that involves shoving a needle into my dick, though.
I'm real stoked for the injectible sponge thing to make it past testing. Reversible birth control is something I want for my bits.
I think both. Just in case one forgets, or one isn't enough.
Let me be honest here. I think the responsibility is on both the parties, but depends on the scenario
If I intended to start the sex I would volunteer for the pill and when she wants it I would expect her to do so. That I think would be the best way to avoid any chaos before sex. Also I would be a little afraid to be honest considering pills might have some side effects like permanent impotency etc
It wouldn't do anything for me as I'm not fertile. Even if it did, I'm still not taking it. If I have to squeeze on a stupid and uncomfortable condom, why can't you take a pill? Now I have to do that as well? No
Both of us are open to the same risks if we don't use any form of birth control, so both of us should be responsible for it, even before the male pill comes to the market.
Both
I won't use it. It's new in the market and I don't know what problem it can cause.
Both should... C
I'd take it no matter what she was doing. You cannot trust anyone in this society. It is far more prudent to take matters into your own hands.
Well not currently in a relationship
But if I were
I think it depends vastly on the side effects
If the male "pill" had less or at least less severe side effects then I would gladly be in charge of it If it has very bad side effects then perhaps not depends how it compares to the female one which has a lot of side effects
I would discuss the matter with my partner and hopefully we would decide together
If I'm the one who doesn't want kids, then I can't expect others to take on that responsibility.
It’s easier to take the bullets out of the gun then make a girl wear a bullet proof vest 😂😂 I’d just get a vasectomy
