We're going to trust men with an invisible daily birth control? I don't think so.
As with any invisible or otherwise difficult to monitor birth control method, this is really only for people in dedicated relationships.
It goes both ways. A man shouldn't trust a women he just met to be on birth control. A women should have the same reservations.
This is for people who can trust a long term partner, and who wouldn't be destroyed by the failure of the product. And that's still a huge market.
Why not delete the comment and respond to the right person? Not that you should at this point, but it would have taken less time than explaining it in an edit so I'm curious
I would guess because people get a notification with the comment. If that then gets deleted without explanation then you leave someone confused.
Exactly, no one should trust anyone they just met.
I've several ex girlfriends who fuck up taking their daily birth control and needed plan b... IDK why men would be worse tho, please explain?
They knew they missed it, chose to have sex anyway, and took steps to prevent pregnancy. You probably saw that plan b is not really fun and not something you want to do often. That's different than someone not telling you they're inconsistent with the med or telling you afterwards.
Biases and more biases. More way to prevent pregnacy is good and a male one(finally) is even better. No one is forcing you to stop using yours? Why are shitting on extra protection?
My ex gfs also did the same, also told me to cum inside. Fucking horny 19 year olds girls were crazy. Well even when we got older they still be thirsty for that jizz
Such a weird argument. Look beyond that one use case.
In my case, I, a male, don't want kids. I would get this. I'd still use condoms, because STDs. But in the event that they don't work (because it can happen), at least I know that I won't get anyone accidentally pregnant. It's great!
Why not both? Seems awesome for reducing risk of pregnancy even further.
It's for relationships. if you're with a new partner use condoms.
This is why Grindr has a Stat for when you were last tested. Straight dating platforms should have it too imo
If you‘re sleeping around it’s a good thing, in addition to condoms. Condoms do fail sometimes. The probability of a condom and hormonal birth control failing at the same time is much lower
I understand the upvotes, but I also understand the downvotes.
Boys are, in general, dumb. But some are malicious.
Be careful out there.
