Male birth control is good

Abstract:
Forty years ago, women were given the option to have more control over whether or not they would get pregnant. Enter the birth control pill. Millions of women got excited in the 1960s, and the number of users has only increased since then.
The pill is safe, effective and puts more power into the hands of a woman since a condom isn't completely foolproof....

I think it's a great Idea...I would take it.

Double protection..without the smell of burning rubber.

I agree that male contraceptives are a good idea, but only for those individuals in a committed, monogamous relationship. Everyone still needs to be aware of the high risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection from a partner who hasn't been tested. Especially in casual encounters, I believe that condoms are still the best option, in order to keep everyone safe.

Well, women have been on "the pill" for 40 years. It is great to see that there is now an option for men to take more responsibility for contraception, and with less potentially deadly side effects than the female pill (ie bloodclots).

As you stated, condoms are still best- no matter which partner is on the pill, whether the encounter is gay or strait, committed or casual.

the best answer

would be a Pill that makes men go limp and quit being obsessed about sex. Maybe fewer pregnancies, STD's, and abortions would be a good thing. I know, you can't talk about abstinence in America anymore- it's un-American to save your body for your monogamous, husband and wife marriage. You must get out there and show what little respect you have for yourself by humping around, showing off your humps, and getting many "friends with benefits". America is headed in such a fun direction.

Don't worry about potential sexual problems, just go have fun. What could really happen anyway?

Pass the Viagara and male birth control please

Did you catch those side-effects?
