Male contraceptive pill

[EightGaugeHippo]

Yes I read it, I must not have made what I meant clear though. I know its not technicly firing blanks thats why I put quotations on it. I just dont what it take something that has just entered the market without extensive out of controled environment research. I mean look a thalidomide, that entered the "real world" as a cure for lots of things but without enough research and look what it did to new born babies who's mothers took it. I dont want to take a new drug that affects my semen with the off chance of it fucking up my reproductive organs/cells.

I dont want to get into a debate about it. I'm too tired at the moment.

Thalidomide happened over half a century ago. We've learned a lot from that mistake with regards to stereochemistry in pharmacology. Most chiral medications are taken in a racemic mixture and have both isomers tested for effects now. Ibuprofen is an example of one such drug.

What part of "I dont want to get into a debate about it" dont you understand.
Heres the short version of the reply I cant be arsed typing:
I dont want to take a new drug.

My girlfriend is allergic to spermicide and latex, and already has hormonal problems but takes the pill.

I think I speak for both of us when I say "Hells yeas."

what would happen if a woman took one thinking it was a female contraceptive?

Sudden, massive, full-body implosion.

What's the point of sex without the potency?

Joking, but yeah I'm going to wait a few more years until we've got an idea of it's absolute safety in humans.

This doesn't deal with the prevalence of casual sex, and in fact practically encourages it.
(Sex with no consequences? (except STDs) What are you going to say?)

Men don't need dead sperm, they need very alive sperm and to fully accept the consequences of their shitty mistakes.

What's wrong with casual sex, as long as you're safe about it?

All for it.

No side affect? I wouldn?t hold my breath.
It?s really about time though. I really just hope the side effects it doesn?t end up being infertility. It would put far too many people off, I mean there are a lot of side effects people will put up with but I think we?ve found a line.

It?s another birth control to add onto the list for the super cautious. Hell, any one on its own is pretty damn effective when used properly, but if you have three; well I don?t even know how you could mess that one up.

I will not be using it until it's been on the market for at least 20 years. There's no way I'm going to subject myself to something that in could possibly, even remotely, damage me and I guarantee there's side effects.

Yeah, this here pretty much. I wouldn't want to fuck with my legacy maker for the luxury of not wearing a condom... There can't possibly be no side effects.
