It'll make men think less about the consequences of having sex with another, I can tell you that. =P
Would you take a male pill?

I'll stick to condoms thank you very much. Needles aren't my thing plus probably forget to get it done.
"Sure baby, I'm on the Jab."
I wouldn't to be honest. I mean I'm concerned enough about what the MSG in cup noddles does to my junk, let alone what a pharmologically designed method of screwing with that area might do.

Wow im really suprised at the attitude of people here, i agree this is not a replacement for condoms but thats just a casual sex thing, Me and my gf ( and i know shes gonna read this 
) have been together for years. I would love for men to have some control over the contraceptive affair, wearing condoms is like washing your feet with your socks on It would be nice to think if i was getting a shot and she was on the pill theres practically no risk anymore.

It does not solve the risk, condoms are the least certain method of contraception after the rythem method lol The problem is that when used properly your right they are pretty effective, unfortuantely alot of cases exist where they are used improperly. BEcause say they dont knwo how to propely, or its 3 in the morning your drunk and the lights are off. I can see how some people would be much better of with the jab in the assSkarin said:
I wouldn't mind. I would even get the shot every two months. The biggest problem is side effects. It would be at least five years on the approved market before I would use it. Just to see what side effects show up. The female pill has been around for what 50 years. Plenty of time for risk assessment. It will take a long time before it is proven.
I also see this as being really practical for monogomous couples. If the dude is out hound-dogging for anything that will spread their legs for them, then it would be best to stick with condemns anyway for STD's
Yes guys would use this, especially if it will prevent paternatiy suits. I have also known women who intentionally stopped taking their BC to lock their man into them with pregnancy.

Well what if the male pill doesn't put me in balance and regulate my periods? =/
I don't think I'd really go for it, because it's still in the testing stage. Maybe I'm just being negative, but I could TOTALLY see the entire situation going down the tube and messing with your olympic swimmers and turning you sterile. That's only in a very worst case scenario... But hey, rather them than me.

Yes they will. Condoms are (as I have heard) are one of the best ways of preventing STIs.bjj hero said:
This is the exact reason why most people who seriously consider it probibally wont like/take it.
Where in the world did you pick that up from?. Sure, nothing is 100% with contraception but short of a vasectomy or female sterilisation the condom comes pretty close with it's effectiveness (about 90 to 98 per cent).Epitome said:
Also it is or was the most common contraceptive method used so I'm sure that most of the populace knew how to use it properly. Let's be honest, it's not very complicated: it's a roll of polyurethane mixed with lubricant and it comes with a how-to booklet as added instructions.
Besides, are you suggesting that people drunk, at 3am, with the lights off are more than likely to jab themselves in the arse with a needle as a contraceptive method?.
Sounds like a good idea for men. Women can have chemical birth control over their bodies, I think that men should have the choice too.
The thought of getting the jab might be a bit off-putting, but it will prevent my from being tricked into marriage by `accidental` pregnancies, and if their girl gets pregnant they can understand that she has most likely been cheating.
It could also stop that dreaded vasectomy in the future
Using chemical birth control is no excuse to come off condoms though. No condom, no entry.

Agreed. I believe the most common contraceptive now is the pill (the female one) but the condom for much its part can hardly be called a least certain contraceptive since there are diaphragm contraceptives, cervical caps, oral contraceptives and various other weird shit that just don't work.Skarin said:
The whole male pill though is a bit iffy, I am not big on injections.
and this.Skeleon said:
You know, I really can't sympathize with most people that get STDs... Only very rare cases like, "my long-lasting boyfriend cheated on me, didn't say anything, then fucked me, then gave me something" type of situations... Cause you should be able to trust that person, and you just got cheated in more ways than one.Skarin said:
However, the crushing majority of the situations are all variations of "picked up random girl, we didn't feel like using a condom!"... Well, enjoy your AIDS, chlamydia, or whatever the fuck happened to be the "flavor of the week" then dumbass. Seriously, in these types of cases, it's a good thing. It's natural selection.
I love all the guys in here going 'No thanks, I don't want to mess with my hormones.' How many of you expect women to be on the pill? That's the exact same thing and it STINKS to have the status quo and go-to solution be a hormone-altering pill.
Just two cents from a female point of view.

I don't see the point.
I can understand the idea that it shares responsibility with the female partner (as many women are on the pill) and is thus "fairer" (see above post); however many people overlook the fact that the pill is used as more than just contraception. It is also useful for relieving some of the nastier side-effects of heavy periods by balancing out the hormones - that's the reason my ex-gf started taking the pill initially, the fact it made things safer was just a bonus (but she preferred sex with condoms anyway, so things were pretty unlikely to go bad). There is nothing like this required for a "male contraceptive" so I don't see the point (condoms and the pill are adequate enough). Women may not like the fact that they are mucking about with the hormone levels, but by doing so they can be spared serious cramps and a lot of pain every month.
Condoms also prevent STIs, and that is more important than preventing a pregnancy (via a shot). STI rates would increase, as many people don't think about getting the clap anyway, and if men were taking shots to ensure (temporary) sterility then they may think everything is fine and dandy as they can't knock the lass up.
But remember the pill isn't meant to be taken for life - taking it for too long can cause sterility issues and so forth, as is all explained in the leaflet that comes with the drugs, so maybe for long-term relationships it's better to share the contraceptives between man and woman (but surely condoms are still adequate as they are pretty effective against pregnancy and you won't be trying to get it on in the dark, totally hammered, at 3am).

Good idea in theory but nonetheless, there would be an increasing amount of STDs circulating the place.
If you use it, perchance, in a loving relationship where you and your partner both have contraception then yes maybe it would be worth me having the jab... Lesser chance of pregnancy and it makes me feel like a big man knowing that i can take a jab every 2 months.
On the other hand i agree with the OP saying that men would lie and say they were on jab, therefore making the woman pregnant and having to plop out £100 pounds a week -.-

I more or less agree with this, and as such i'd be happy to try it if it's been in circulation without common negetive side effects for a while. Beyond that, i'm not willing to be one of the first to try it.Eleuthera said:
I can understand. However i've also often heard a woman complain about going off the pill and wanting to take it again because of horrid cramps etc.Hulyen said:
I won't claim any percentages but it's certainly different for each person, as it is for most medication, as it will be for this injection.
I do agree with the first half of your post though, pretty much word for word.
