Title: Guys--would you take a male birth control pill?
Post by: MadImmortalMan on August 06, 2012, 06:00:44 PM
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.

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

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.

You don't think I'd rely on the guy, do you? Oh, fuck no. I'd be on the pill, too, and we'd be using condoms until he tested clean for a year.

Nonetheless, I'm sick as hell of men crying foul whenever their fuck-buddy gets knocked up. "She tricked me!" Yeah, well, now you've got no one to blame but yourself. :contract:

It already is.  It's called the facial.  Look it up.  No, seriously, look it up, it's on Wikipedia.

(I've done this bit before, but I like it. :P )

Anyway, yeah, my main objection to (female) birth control pills is my inability to trust someone to take it properly.  On the other hand, I'm certainly not sure that I am capable of compliance myself, but at least it's under my control.

Right. Because that's what it is every time a woman gets pregnant, a trick.  :rolleyes:

One cannot exaggerate how stupid this Koala is, not only was he duped by the female of the species, the slut probably got him infected with chlamydia.  2011 surveys in Queensland show that chlamydia has caused symptoms in at least 50 percent of the koala population.

You're assuming that the accusation is true. I'm saying that whether or not it is, men are awfully quick to claim it and put the blame anywhere but on themselves (or on the fact that pills aren't 100% full-proof). If there is a male pill, then they could take care of themselves each, meaning that if they ended up pregnant it would be BOTH of their faults.

She doesn't have a clockwork period. For the first kid it went : Stop Pill, 4 week, 9 weeks, 6 weeks, Pregnant.
