Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health I do, but I’m biased because being on the pill did nothing but lower my libido, make me depressed/angry all of the time, and weight gain. My body just doesn’t respond well to artificial hormones, so I clearly wasn’t one of those women who boast about how they experienced nothing but benefits from hormonal contraceptives. Haha.
If a man could take the pills instead of expecting me to, that’d be awesome for me. What I don’t understand, is women who claim that we “can’t trust” men to take the pill everyday. Doesn’t that depend on the individual’s sense of responsibility? Not to mention that there are some women who lie about being on the pill, in order to manipulate a guy into fucking them raw and conceiving a baby.
Do you think men should take birth control pills?

What Girls & Guys Said
47 122We can, its called steroids. Also there are reversible options available overseas now.
What are the side effects like?
Depends on the steroid and dose. But the side effects for short term use when I used them for rehabbing an injury was mostly an increased sex drive and a mild decrease when I came off, which clomid fixed. Long term use is different though. No real aggression but I was training hard so that worked out a lot of it. For the physical one it involves injecting a soluble gel that kills the sperm itself. As far as I know most people dont get side effects.
The first one sounds meh, but the gel one sounds great. Why won’t more men consider that?
Its not available in north america yet I dont think. First one is pretty close to the risks for women really
Then yeah, I’m all for the gel. 100%. The birth control pill was awful for me, and I can’t imagine being married to someone who would experience the same sanity-depleting, libido-lowering, weight-gaining effects I did.
Yeah birth control is pretty miserable and kills a surprising number of people
Exactly! But doctors, and women who don’t experience side effects, love to ignore that fact and will sweep it under the rug. I knew a chick who got a cyst behind her eye, caused by being on the pill for eleven years.
@mrkinktastic it’s really good your on here. Say what you will about my numerous ramblings. You, however, cut through the topic to spread the facts. Level head restored.
Thank you, I definitely get things wrong sometimes but I do my best to try to be open minded and give the most reliable info I know
You really want a bunch of guys on hormones?
Now that I think about it... No. Lol.
Yea, we’d all die
Women absolutely do NOT want men to have any kind of power when it comes to procreation.
There are something like two dozen forms of birth control for women, plus Plan B, and yet they still "accidentally" get pregnant? Bullshit. Every one of those 'Oops' pregnancies is an attempt to either trap him or get a meal ticket for the next 18 years.
Women say men couldn't be trusted because they are projecting once again. A WOMAN can't be trusted with birth control. She's going to decide unilaterally that 'they' are having a baby, and he has no rights, only responsibilities pushed on him and enforced by the State.
Feminazis have already prevented male birth control from being available several times, because they don't want men to have any kind of power. Women think we're supposed to just sit back, shut up, and pay up. Fuck that.
Feminazis? Lol. But wouldn’t restricting the availability of male birth control pills be counterproductive towards the cause of “controlling” birth? It certainly would decrease the amount of abortions, which many pro-life women complain about.
The goal isn't to control births, it's to make sure that only women have the power to decide, as well as the power to completely destroy a man's life and secure a payout for 18 years. If the goal were actually to reduce births, there would already be as many forms of BC for men as there are for women. Instead, we have two. Condoms and vasectomy. And only the latter is reliable, but it's also basically permanent. AND a lot of doctors won't do it unless the guy is 30+ and already has kids.
I don't know. If they're good enough, why not?
"The researchers recruited men between the ages of 18 and 50 to take small doses of a compound called dimethandrolone undecanoate, or DMAU, which lowers the amount of testosterone and other hormones involved in sperm production."
"Previous attempts to develop a hormonal birth control for men were stymied by liver-related side effects; DMAU didn’t seem to have this problem. But some researchers not involved in the study have expressed concern that DMAU may be detrimental to men’s health in other ways. “Normal testosterone in a man is anywhere from 350 to 1,100 nanograms per deciliter,” Seth Cohen, a urologist at NYU Langone Medical Center not involved in the study, told CNN. “And they got these guys down to 13 nanograms per deciliter.” That’s far beyond the 50-nanograms-per-deciliter threshold that scientists refer to as chemical castration, which can result in side effects ranging from weight gain, breast enlargement, blood clots, depression, and decreased bone density. Currently, chemical castration is used as a treatment for prostate cancer and for those individuals who have potentially dangerous paraphilias, in which case the benefits outweigh the risk of the side effects."
Yeah, no thanks. It's clear that men nor women should be ingesting things like that.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. Honestly, I don’t blame you. Barriers seem superior in that they also protect against STDs, whereas the pill only prevents pregnancy.
Cum in condom or on face/in mouth seems a reasonable alternative ;) I don't mind condoms.
You get different types. Maybe you should try a different one? It's not like there is just one pill... one pill to rule them all and in the darkness bind them... but sure, if there was a pill for men that had the same level of side effects and had been thoroughly researched then id have no issue taking it.
Actually, I’ve been on four different pills. All of them made my acne worse, and the last one made me severely depressed. No thank you. Lol. As of right now, there probably isn’t a safe pill for men. However, if there is one in the future, that would be great.
I don't see why either sex "should" take birth control pills. We already have the IUD, which in my opinion is the most effective and convenient contraceptive for long term couples to use.
- 99% success rate; you can't "forget to take it" or apply it incorrectly--once it's there, it's there
- once it's in, you don't have to worry about taking any precautions each time you have sex
- you can choose one that lasts anywhere from 3 to 12 years, and if you decide you want children before it expires, you can get it removed at literally any time you want
- there's even a non-hormonal copper IUD for people like you that are susceptible to hormonal side effects
"Successful" male birth control pills are like reinventing the wheel.
Good point. By “should”, I was referring to if the guy doesn’t want to wear condoms. If he does, then it’s fine. Let’s just hope technological advances can help stir the development of another non-hormonal birth control for men so that they’ll have options.
Yeah, I got that. My point was just that it baffles me how few people utilize IUDs when they are the best contraceptive technology we have. I literally can't find a downside to them.
Well, the downside is that they could puncture the uterus. Other than that, it’s menstrual issues.
What percentage of IUD users have had their uterus punctured? What menstrual issues are you referring to? Because my info tells me that the hormonal IUD actually eases cramps and such.
Absolutely... that way they can have some control besides wearing a condom.
if the option was available I would take it if only as a means to show equality and be responsible
Yeah and if you experience negative side effects, it would be okay to get off of it. I know I did.
if I experienced negative side effects I would stop it immediately but resort to wearing condoms, even though I dont find them comfortable as latex irritates me...
Yes, make them suffer for a few years. I’m all for it
Lolwut.
You have no fucking idea how male contraceptives work, do you?
Here's the reality of the fucking situation.
Male birth control works by lowering your testosterone levels. It quite literally acts by temporarily neutering men. Do you know what happens when you do that?
well, I mean, apart from the minor shit like, i dunno - serious loss of skeletomuscular mass, severe depression, suicidal tendencies, etc?
It lowers your libido. During the testing phase, several test subjects were left temporarily impotent, and one patient became permanently incapable to get it up. That's just what you need from a birth control pill.
Why don't you just cut his balls off? Same effect, and at least you are honest.
So no, men shouldn't be on birth control, because it causes severe and permanent damage to their bodies.
The hormonal contraceptives for women do the same thing, yet no one cares. Besides, I don’t think men should be forced to take them. Simply that a successful male birth control pill, with minimal side effects, should be an option for men who hate using condoms.
By this reasoning, no one should take them. It's damaging to women too. In general, nothing involving hormones makes sense for anyone to take, unless you don't mind the physical and psychological instability.
@SnowyOwl This. It’s disgusting how nobody cares when women go crazy or die from oral contraceptives, claiming that they “empower women, so all women should be on them.”
"The hormonal contraceptives for women do the same thing" No it doesn't. The dosage of hormones released into the female body is MINISCULE compared to male contractives that are needed to be effective. The equivalent is dosage for women would be a day-after pill. Ever taken one of those? It fucks up your hormonal system for several months. Saying they are the same is like saying a BB gun is the same as a cannon. "Besides, I don’t think men should be forced to take them." That was the question, you... "Simply that a successful male birth control pill, with minimal side effects, should be an option for men who hate using condoms." But it doesn't exist, and it won't ever exist, because the fundamental concept is flawed beyond imagination. It is only a tad bit better than smashing your own balls with a hammer.
It's also sad that a lot of woman don't know this can cause depression, and so they feel obligated to take it. No one who actually cares for you should expect you to damage yourself so that both of you can have a little entertainment. Its lack of empathy and disrespect.
@SnowyOwl "By this reasoning, no one should take them. It's damaging to women too. " Again, the dosage difference is several orders of magnitude. The two can't be compared - it's like comparing anti-biotics for flu with chemotherapy. "In general, nothing involving hormones makes sense for anyone to take, unless you don't mind the physical and psychological instability." People who don't know enough about hormone supplements are trashing hormone supplements. How original. There's nothing wrong with hormone supplements, supposing you use it for the right reason. But this isn't one - it ruins men's lives. Again, out of the 500 test subjects, one commited suicide. How many women commit suicide because of contraceptives again?
The question was not about forcing men to take pills. It was about providing the option to men who don’t like condoms. If a man doesn’t like using condoms, then he should be offered another birth control method. I don’t understand why you’re trying to misconstrue this into something awful and taking it as a personal attack. It has been a hypothetical discussion the entire time.
"It’s disgusting how nobody cares when women go crazy or die from oral contraceptives" There were exactly 10 deaths due to contraceptives in the ENTIRE UK under year - and most of them were due to the stuff interfering with existing conditions of the victim. The death toll of oral contraceptives is no higher than that of regular painkillers.
www.dailymail.co.uk/.../...linked-taking-Pill.html
I hope this answers your question.
Oh, never mind. You’ve already read that one.
I don't know the difference in magnitude of the impact in a female or male case. I still thing that no matter how small the damage is, you shouldn't expect someone to take the risk, especially if you're not willing to take it yourself. That's incredibly selfish.
@SnowyOwl I agree. @Benedek38 do you expect all women to use oral contraceptives?
@SnowyOwl "I don't know the difference in magnitude of the impact in a female or male case." Yes, you already demonstrated that. I can assure you, the difference is again, severe. "I still thing that no matter how small the damage is, you shouldn't expect someone to take the risk, especially if you're not willing to take it yourself" I would never expect my future partner to take contraceptives against her will - but she has to understand the risks. The effectiveness of a condom is still 98%. Even if I put on two, that's still risky. But still, the two things are just not comparable. I don't even understand why people call it contraceptive, when it is essentially chemical neutering of men.
There’s a male contraceptive that acts like a block between sperms and semen, and it’s injected in. That is an alternative, assuming modern medicine doesn’t improve the quality of male birth control pills any time in the near future. What I don’t understand is why you’re being so aggressive about this. It’s one thing to educate, but your comments suggest that you’re legitimately angry and that you’re projecting said anger into this topic, which was supposed to be a simple hypothetical seeking opinions from others. Take it from me, you won’t be satisfied with anything that you hear about this topic until you resolve the actual source of what’s currently making you angry. Tackling your problems head-on leads to a happier life. I wish you luck!
"There’s a male contraceptive that acts like a block between sperms and semen"
Once again, you are uninformed.
1) Semen is purely a medium for sperm cells, it is in no way related to testosterone levels, which is what I was saying. You can have semen, and still have a low sperm count.
2) The thing you talk about is this:
www.newscientist.com/.../
Let's see:
"The injections contained a long-acting form of progestogen, a hormone that has the effect of blocking sperm production controlled by the pituitary gland. Testosterone was added to counter-balance reductions in levels of the male hormone resulting from the treatment."
Testosterone was added... As a person who is adequately educated in anabolic steroid use, I can tell you - if you add external testosterone to a male body - that will result in a lower testosterone production for the REST OF THEIR LIVES.
The same way how your body stops producing nicotine after smoking, because it gets used to external nicotine - if you inject testosterone into your body, it will encourage your body to lower its natural testosterone concentration. What are the side-effects of low testosterone count? "Insufficient levels of testosterone in men may lead to abnormalities including frailty and bone loss." Great. You want your boyfriend to be weak, break his bones when he's 60, and die from a broken femur in bed from gangrene? "That is an alternative, assuming modern medicine doesn’t improve the quality of male birth control pills any time in the near future." It's the same shit that has been tested before. IT DOESN'T WORK. NEUTERING MEN DOESN'T WORK. CURB YOUR MISANDRY! Fucking got it?
"What I don’t understand is why you’re being so aggressive about this?" How would you react if I told you it's a legitimate form of contraception to extract your ovaries? Because that is the equivalent of what you suggest. "We can do it with an injection, it isn't even painful. And you can just put away a few eggs for later!" Would you go along with doctors destroying your ovaries? Here's a hint: estrogene is produced in the ovaries. The moment they were destroyed, you'd start growing thick, long hair all over your body, your boobs would start sagging and getting smaller, your hair would start falling out like crazy, you'd be depressed all the time, sex would hurt like hell due to no vaginal lubrication, etc... I could go on. Would you do that? Because THAT is what you are asking from me! I think my aggression over your ignorance is more than justified.
"It’s one thing to educate, but your comments suggest that you’re legitimately angry"
Damn sure I'm angry. Ignorance doesn't absolve you from saying hateful and inconsiderate things.
"Take it from me, you won’t be satisfied with anything that you hear about this topic until you resolve the actual source of what’s currently making you angry."
What's making me angry is that you are advocating for something that you know practically nothing about, and did ZERO legitimate research into.
I will continue to be angry as long as you don't change your mind on the subject, because male hormonal contraceptives are a dead end.
by the way do you know why it is injected, and not oral? Here's why - because the hormone dosage is so large, the kidney would possibly shut down temporarily.
"Tackling your problems head-on leads to a happier life."
You know where to shove your useless advice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbJSbgI426w
Thanks for your explanation. Also, nothing I said was hateful nor misandrist. Otherwise all of the men on this thread would be enraged with me. Instead, it’s just you. Also to answer your question about how I would react, I wouldn’t. I don’t get angry over stuff like this. Relax.
It’s hilarious when “men” like you think that you’re being rational by posting paragraph-long explanations loaded with EMOTION. 🤣🤣 Here’s an idea: CURB YOUR MISOGYNY! Have you ever seen a pink user post ANYTHING and NOT assume that she was a man-hating feminist? All the OP said, was that there should be a safe option for men who do not want to use condoms. How you misconstrued this into an argument about third-wave feminism is beyond me. Stop being a hypocrite, and then maybe I can take your point of view seriously. 💁🏻♀️
“Damn sure I'm angry. Ignorance doesn't absolve you from saying hateful and inconsiderate things.“ Oh really? Yet that doesn’t absolve YOU of saying hateful and inconsiderate things? “I will continue to be angry as long as you don't change your mind on the subject, because male hormonal contraceptives are a dead end.” Yeah right. Judging by your other posts, you seem dead-set on being angry about something that nobody else is angry over, because you’ve misconstrued it into something MUCH worse in your own head. You seem less like you want to educate, and more like you just want something to bitch about and use this thread as your outlet. 🤔
You advocated for all men taking birth control, even after I expressed how dangerous it is, and how badly it damages men permanently. If you don't retract that statement, I can't take that any other way than misandry. I don't care about the opinions of other men, and stop appealing to the numbers. Plus many men in the comments actually called out how wrong male birth control is, not just me. They might have been less vocal about it, but most certainly not less upset by your proposal. "I don’t get angry over stuff like this." OK, then prove it by taking out your ovaries. Talk is cheap.
@Nuiharime12 "It’s hilarious when “men” like you think that you’re being rational by posting paragraph-long explanations loaded with EMOTION." Hey would you look at that! Sexism! And shaming tactics! Classy. "Have you ever seen a pink user post ANYTHING and NOT assume that she was a man-hating feminist?" Yes. But you aren't making your own case any better, attacking men as a group. It's PEOPLE like you. Women do this too. Be a bit more inclusive ;-P "All the OP said, was that there should be a safe option for men who do not want to use condoms." Are you dyslexic? Here's waht she said: "Do you think men should take birth control pills? I do." Not "should be able to". "should". "How you misconstrued this into an argument about third-wave feminism is beyond me." nu-uh-uh! I never even mentioned the word "feminism" or any derivatives of it. YOU decided to project your views into my arguments. Ironic, since you are accusing me of the same thing. "Stop being a hypocrite" Citation.
@Nuiharime12 "Oh really? Yet that doesn’t absolve YOU of saying hateful and inconsiderate things? " Such as? EXAMPLES PLEASE. "Yeah right. Judging by your other posts, you seem dead-set on being angry about something that nobody else is angry over" Let's see: "No way in hell." "I would never take a pill for guys" "Yeah, no thanks. It's clear that men nor women should be ingesting things like that." "Birth control pills have worse side effects on men, so no thanks." "Right now side effects for Male birth control are worse than women's" Sounds like I wasn't the only one whose jimmies were rustled by OP's proposal. I am just the most adamant about calling her out on her bullshit. "because you’ve misconstrued it into something MUCH worse in your own head." What OP said is indefensible. She says men should be forced to use a dangerous medicine that would ruin their lives. Whether she said it out of discontent or ignorance, I don't care - I only want her to retract it. That's all.
I put the word “men” in quotation marks when referring to you, because I’m not attacking men as a group. REAL men don’t insist that they’re being rational when they’re actually being emotional. “Do you think men should take birth control pills? I do." Not "should be able to". "should"” Should IF and only if they don’t want to use condoms. Are YOU dyslexic? Or do you just refuse to read other threads because they contradict what you’ve decided the post was about in your own head? I think the latter. 💁🏻♀️ “nu-uh-uh! I never even mentioned the word "feminism" or any derivatives of it. YOU decided to project your views into my arguments. Ironic, since you are accusing me of the same thing.” Not ironic. You might not have mentioned feminism by name, but your paragraphs REEK of hatred for feminists and feminazis. Otherwise the word “misandry” wouldn’t have come up. 🤷🏻♀️
“She says men should be forced to use a dangerous medicine that would ruin their lives.“ Where? Cite your sources.
@Nuiharime12 And as for hateful women: "Yes, men should. But they are little bitches who can’t handle the comparably minor side effects (acne, mood swings, fatigue) associated with male vs. female oral birth control pills or be responsible enough to take the pill daily." "Yes. Less deadbeat dads for sure." "Yes they should have equal responsibility" - as if condoms didn't exist... "Yes, make them suffer for a few years. I’m all for it" But certainly I am the one who is paranoid and irrational.
@Nuiharime12 "I put the word “men” in quotation marks when referring to you, because I’m not attacking men as a group. REAL men don’t insist that they’re being rational when they’re actually being emotional." Your statement still applied only to men. You could say "It’s hilarious when people like you". But you didn't. You wanted to say men. Hence sexism.
@Nuiharime12 "Or do you just refuse to read other threads because they contradict what you’ve decided" There are more than a hundred opinions, each with a response. I won't read all of them. I shouldn't have to look so hard for proof taht OP is not an ignoramus. "Not ironic. You might not have mentioned feminism by name, but your paragraphs REEK of hatred for feminists and feminazis. Otherwise the word “misandry” wouldn’t have come up." Oh, I'm sorry, so we can just start assuming shit about people? I didn't assume anything about OP that wasn't explicitly stated, but even if I did, you'd be a hypocrite - you assumed I am bashing feminists after accusing me of assuming things about OP. Your own lack of intelligence ultimately bites you in the ass.
I’ll remove my ovaries if you remove your testicles. Let’s make this a team effort, babe! 😜 At this point, I don’t even see the point in retracting anything I said. It’s clear that you’re deadset on being mad at me no matter what I do. Why did you censor the word “idiot”? Lol.
@Nuiharime12 "“She says men should be forced to use a dangerous medicine that would ruin their lives.“ Where? Cite your sources. " She indirectly said it. -She said men should use male contraceptive pills (not should be able to, but should. Period). -I explained to her why male contraceptives are a dead end, and incredibly dangerous. -She didn't retract her statement. That ammounts to her advocating for men beign forced to take contaceptive pills that permanently and severely damage their bodies.
"I’ll remove my ovaries if you remove your testicles." Convenient, because that's exactly what you called for. Because male contraceptives shut down and shrink the testicles. by the way I never said I will do it. YOU said you are fine with male contraceptives, and I asked if that if you are fine with those, would you be fine with getting your "eggsack" removed. You said yes. I never agreed to anything, it's you who said you'll stand by your ideas even at the price of your ovaries. "Let’s make this a team effort, babe!" Well, unlike you, I'm not an astronomical f-up who wants to ruin their bodies with hormones, so you're on your own on this one. You agreed to this, not me. You're the hypocrite if you back down, not me.
"At this point, I don’t even see the point in retracting anything I said. It’s clear that you’re deadset on being mad at me no matter what I do." Actually, not. All you'd have to say is attach an update correcting the question to: "Do you think men should have the option to take male birth control?", and optionally, add a little explanation about the dangers of male contraceptive pills. IF you did that, our beef would be over in seconds. The ball is in your court.
“You’re the hypocrite if you back down, not me.” As I said, you’re deadset on being mad at me, so it’s pointless trying to please you. You even admitted in the other thread that you think I’m “crazy” for wanting men to have a say in abortions. Lol. All I can say is that I wish you luck.
"As I said, you’re deadset on being mad at me" Yeah, just ignore my other comment.
No, I’ve read your other comment. That’s why I had to quote your second to last comment. If I please you, I’m the hypocrite. If I don’t, I’m a “‘misandrist”. I can’t win, so what’s the point?
"If I please you, I’m the hypocrite." I never said that.
I think I see what you misunderstood. I was referring to removing your ovaries. Well, if you admit that male contraceptives are stupid, you don't become a hypocrite.
But male contraceptives aren’t stupid. Otherwise, condoms wouldn’t be used at all. Condoms are a male contraceptive.
"But male contraceptives aren’t stupid. " OH, YOU... You know perfectly well thta I am talking about male contraceptive pills or injections. Stop moving the goalpost. "Condoms are a male contraceptive. " Yes, but they are not birth control pills, which you were trying to force on men. STOP DODGING THE PROBLEM! JUST CORRECT THE QUESTION! NOT. THAT. DIFFICULT.
Where did I say that men should be forced to take pills?
"Where did I say that men should be forced to take pills? " Sis... just stop playing games. I explained this. Here's the quote: "Do you think men should take birth control pills? I do." Should take means they should take. Not have the option to take, but take. Imperatively. No dissent. That's FORCING them to take it. Either LEARN how to express yourself in English more clearly or don't talk about controversial subjects.
No, that’s your interpretation. I never said they should be forced to take pills. Even then, my “should” was referring to a utopian scenario where the male birth control pill was successful and caused minimal side effects. Everybody interprets things differently, but I hope this cleared some things up.
I meant to say that my “should” was directed at men who don’t want to wear condoms. If they don’t mind wearing condoms, it’s a non-issue.
"No, that’s your interpretation. I never said they should be forced to take pills." BS. Saying people should do X implies you believe that anything not X is not acceptable or not conventional - therefore rare. Meaning you'd be willing to live in a society where say, 99% of men are chemically neutered as a means of "birth control". Do you know what socialism is? "Workers should control the means of production". Do you know how that "should" ended? 100 million people killed. "Even then, my “should” was referring to a utopian scenario where the male birth control pill was successful" Oh, I'm sorry, and in my utopistic scenario, there's no need for this, because we can just decide when we want children WITH OUT MINDS. We can all live in dream worlds - but the reality is that male birth control pills will ALWAYS have catastrophic effects.
"Everybody interprets things differently, but I hope this cleared some things up." No it actually didn't. It just assured me that you are STILL ignorant. You didn't understand what I said. I said male contraceptive pills will ALWAYS BE PROBLEMATIC This is a rule. The basic concept itself is deeply flawed. Rethink your question in this light, and come back to me when you reconsidered your views on it.
There are many definitions of the word “should”. The definition more appropriate for mine was: “Used to give advice or suggestions”.
"I meant to say that my “should” was directed at men who don’t want to wear condoms." Then here's a crazy idea: ASK THAT. The description gives you 2500 characters. Don't tell me you didn't have place to explain your question.
Again, this was a hypothetical discussion. My dude, I still see no reason to please you. I’m trying to understand your point of view and think of a compromise, but you’re still isistent on insulting me and name-calling. This conversation is pointless.
"Again, this was a hypothetical discussion." Advocating for mass castration (which you did, by accidentally not wording your question correctly) is wrong even on a hypothetical basis. "I’m trying to understand your point of view and think of a compromise, but you’re still isistent on insulting me and name-calling." This might come as a shock to you, but if you examine my comments - I became significantly less combative when you said that you simply misworded the question, leaving out the "condom" part. I'm not your enemy, I hate the question, not you.
I'm not sure because of side effects.
Yeah, if the pill has bad side effects on them then I wouldn’t blame them for not taking it.
And yet the ladies have side effects from the birth control pills too😕😕
That’s why I stopped taking birth control pills. Lol. The side effects were just awful, and I was tired of people trivializing them.
That's good for your health. I'm glad you listened to your body.
Thanks! I mean, I’m happy that it works for other women, but those women shouldn’t be so condescending towards the women who can’t tolerate the synthetic hormones.
Totally, I also experienced the side effects and never went back to it.
What do you use now? I use condoms and the Sponge.
Nothing, total abstinence.
She: “Did you take your pill today (He’s did not but now he has an erection. He: “uh... yeah. Of course”
Yes because I think a lot of men don't take enough responsibility when sex comes in they just see it as sex, they don't have so much to risk. So if a guy stated taking responsibility for himself by taking the pill and making sure he was extra careful for me not to get a unwanted pregnancy I'd really appreciate it and it show me, he cares about me and not just the sex
No. I don't have a use for it.
I wouldn't want artificial hormones inside me and neither do I want the same for my partner.
There is no pill for guys to take
Look, I agree with you. Men have a lot more testosterons, well at least some of us and I believe that it shouldn't impact the libido so much.
Condensed are probably fine, I wouldn't take extra drugs. Though I'm sure some women feel the same.
Yeah, maybe some. Not me though. Lol.
The first word was supposed to be condoms
If they came out with a method of birth control for men that was oral id be all for it. Its only fair
