I mean this is just "sperm suppression", of course it lowers the risk of pregnancy considerably, but not 100%. I'll still get my tubes snipped at this point. As a guy you simply don't have a lot of options if you want to be safe. Condoms and vasectomy, that's it. And condoms can fail too if you're unlucky.
As soon as the girl is pregnant all you can do is pray she doesn't decide to keep the kid :-/
I got a vasectomy and it was crazy easy. Had a meeting with my doc just so he could make sure I knew it was permanent, I asked if I could have something extra for the pain and dude was like "I can give you vallium is that alright?" Showed up day of, took like 30 mins and didn't feel a thing. Only thing was the smell of burning flesh was a little much but that was literally it.
My partner wants some form of permanent BC herself but literally no doctor will allow it.
With so many fucking people on the planet, you would think doctors would be stoked to sterilize as many people as they can.
I think they are worried about liability, if I had to guess.
Not if they want pensions.
Threaten to do it yourself if they won't do it for you. Lol
Or pray she cheated.
This is great, I'd get this in a heartbeat.
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.
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!
it's not an argument. it's a belief
women = good, men = bad.
it's a cultural bias called 'women are wonderful' effect. we are culturally biased to think men are bad and women are good.
It's a protective response. People don't generally do what is good for you unless it's also good for them, especially at a time when 'emotions' are running hot.
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
we trust women with it
You can walk away. What if this were a medication that prevented HIV? Would you trust someone else without protecting yourself?
There is a medication that prevents HIV, it's called PrEP
And it's awesome how well prep works! If you were not on it and met someone who told you they were, would you trust them and risk it?
I understand the upvotes, but I also understand the downvotes.
Boys are, in general, dumb. But some are malicious.
Be careful out there.
so are women.
it's almost as one's stupidity and malaciousness has nothing to do with their sex or gender....
You're right, but this ignores the disparity of risk that's associated between sexes when it comes to birth control. Males don't get pregnant.
Why do they always use the phrase "safe and effective". Almost as if they are programming people by repeating the same phrase everywhere....
Nah, it's almost as if proving a treatment is "safe and effective" is the entire purpose of a phase ii clinical trial.
If you want pharmaceutical conspiracies to chase, follow the money. The point at which they are trying to "program" you is when the drug hits the market and commercials come out. It's not that these products are ineffective at this point, just that they will do just about anything to capitalize on them.
Pharmaceutical companies are by no means clean and trustworthy, but your conspiracy is literally just a description of marketing and advertising, which I agree is a plague upon our society.
Because those are the two most important things when it comes to birth control?
Than what? Also, sample size?
Nothing, and 222 men. Read the article.
No. Late at night, in bed, long day, curious but not overly committed to finding out, and I don't want the bright white of Firefox loading in boost on my phone.
Accept that people are lazy, and stop moralizing when they lazily ask for specifics about new science. Not everyone is having your day or has your commitment.
It's a community, so I didn't have to this time... And I'm still not interested enough to verify your answers.
Thank you.
summarizing articles is actually one of the practical uses of AI
Lmao peak boomer
You cappin skibidi fool.
