Another discussion worthy article.
Male birth control is in the works. This is an article discussing it.

Re: Another discussion worthy article.
Interesting... but not for me. I'm on the pill not only to prevent pregnancy, but also to help with preventing ovarian cancer-which I am a high risk candidate for. S will be having a vasectomy once 2.0 is 3 and I will probably still stay on the pill until I have my ovaries out...
Honestly, if I didn't need to be on the pill for other reasons, I just don't know if putting my fertility in the hands of a partner-ie: trusting that the pill is taken daily-who will not be growing the child in their body is for them. I think it's an easier thing to remember if you're the one who will be going through the physical changes of pregnancy, not supporting the person going therough the changes...just my thoughts.
I agree with this. I think it's great that men will be able to take birth control into their own hands if they want (more so than condoms I mean). I wonder what the accuracy percentages are when BOTH partners are using hormonal BC...
?It is time for men to have some control. I think it would empower men and deter some women out there from their nefarious plans,?
I read this line to Ricky and he laughed but was curious about how it worked. I can't get him to remember to take a multivitamin so he won't be on the pill.
What about the cheating husband, he is now less likely to get his mistress KU.
I'm kinda surprised by the 'wouldn't trust a man to take it' statements. That sounds pretty, well, sexist.
Just like female hormonal BC is a personal choice, I think male hormonal BC would be a great choice for those who want it. However, just like right now, people should be responsible when having sex and use condoms (bring them yourself, don't rely on the the other person!) when sleeping with people they're not in committed relationships with. The responsibility is on more than just the person who says they've taken their pill that day.
I was going to say exactly what Reenie said...
