Can't wait for the flood of people telling us why this isn't feasible for men to take and insisting that when a SAFE and 100% EFFECTIVE form is ready they'll surely take it.
As a man I can assure you that this pill wouldn't be feasable for me to take and I'm better off without it.
~Because I'm snipped~
It's feasible for men to take.
But it's absolutely not feasible for women to trust a men who says he's taking it.
So it is a good option for family planning of married couples (where the man is legally responsible for any children he might conceive).
But not for casual sex.
I’m sure you’re taking the necessary precautions; but in case anybody reading this gets mixed ideas. Using the contraceptive pill will ONLY help prevent pregnancy. There are hundreds reasons why you should still wear a condom for sex with a new partner with unknown history. That goes for both parties!
Yes, it is a great idea for men to take it.
It is not a great idea for women to have unprotected sex just because the man says he takes it.
In no way was the original comment even trying to imply anything about women trusting men. So I'm a little confused about this response.
On another platform, yep.
It’s good to see an alternative, even though it’s going to be caught up in the precious fragile masculinity discussion.
You know what’s insane? Handing out hormonal birth control to 14 year old girls. Also, having women take hormones for decades on end.
Honestly I don't see why any person would want to force someone else to take hormones as a contraceptive when non-hormonal contraceptives work. And the fact that it's pill form makes it super easy. Literally not even an inconvenience. Just toss it back in the morning. Boom. Done.
Hormones will fuck you up.
I'd take it so my gf can get off her hormone implant.
I would love it, tbh
