There is supposed to be one in the works that prevents sperm production while not reducing testosterone. This seems like a better option than the female pill, which essentially tricks her body into thinking it's pregnant. And that has side-effects like reducing sex drive, which is totally bad for us even if there are other benefits for the women.  :P

I've dated on girl on the pill and she was a bona fide nymphomaniac.

Sure, I'd have no problem taking a manwhore pill.

I would take government paid-for whore pills by the handful.

Fuck yes.  Condoms don't make sex unenjoyable, but they've got a substantial hassle factor.

*shrug*  I got snipped without a problem; I sure as hell would have taken pills.

Of course.  Why rely on others to take their whore pills, when you can have the peace of mind of doing it yourself?  The birth control balance of power needs some tilting back in the male's favour.

Male birth control pills wouldn't prevent the spread of STDs.  Which you shouldn't be allowed to test for at home, anyway.

No it doesn't.

I don't see why not.  I don't see why either.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Agreed.

Not without a decade or two of others using it to prove its safe.

Agreed.

Once again, women prove to be women's worst enemies.  Go ahead, abdicate the only real leverage you have for social and sexual equality in this society.
