Would you take a male pill?

Actually, no. My mother knew a couple who had eight kids, and no multiple births. My reaction to this was "whoa! that's way too many. Geez, use some birth control if you don't want more kids." To which she responded "well, they do. All the time." Turns out two of their children were concieved during simultaneous use of a condom and the pill.Naturalized said:
So no, if you want to do the nasty and be certain of not having kids, no, it is not enough. Unfortunately anything's possible, nothing is guaranteed.
I'd never trust a guy with it, and I wouldn't do it myself. Mostly because condoms are better, since they remove the risk of disease as well, and it's not the male carrying the child if something goes wrong. If a guy misses the pill, he can just walk away, no big deal. Even if he's completely honest, and just forgot, it's not a risk I'd be willing to take, since I'd be the one carrying the consequences.
For a guy wanting to avoid getting someone pregnant, there's better ways already, even disregarding the aforementioned condom.

It's more like washing your feet with your socks on but not wanting to clean your feet.Epitome said:
Anyway, 2 things:
Side effects and I don't like/want to have injections every 2 months.

If anything, women have historically been lousy to trust using contraception. How many men haven't heard the "Don't worry baby, im on the pill"-excuse, only to hear: "Congratulations! You're a daddy!" nine months later? XD
If a male version of the pill comes along, I'll definetly use it. I've been thinking of freezing sperm and doing a vasectomy for quite some time now, because I dislike having to leave full control of my offspring to a woman. Especially since women are prone to get "second thoughts" about the idea of abortion once they find out they're pregnant, even if they were the one who forgot to eat the damned pills which they promised to do in the first place.
This way, the man can retake some control without having to slice his scrotum open nor having to come off as an "untrusting asshole" in a relationship. Yes, some men have had to suffer the foul mood of their girlfriends when they are actually being smart, turning down sex because there are no contraceptives at home.
-"What!? Don't you trust me honey? I've said im on the pill, why can't you just trust me!?" <--- this is far more common than most people would want to admit...
Im surprised to see how many people here are afraid of needles.
Try pricking yourselves with a needle to overcome this phobia. It helps to subject yourself to the fear, while keeping it in your own personal control for starters.
So to all you who are afraid with needles, play with some yourselves. I promise you'll soon realize that it's not such a big deal. Just remember that if it ain't a razor it ain't emo. ; )

That may well have been the most inapropriate matrix quote ever, I salute you good sir.bradley348 said:
Male contraceptives are way too slow coming to the market. By this rate, by the time I can use them to avoid generating mini-mes I'll be old and wizened.
Since the generation of mini-mes is most definitely not something I ever intend to do, I've therefore decided to get a vasectomy and solve the problem once and for all.

Wow, that response just begs for some sort of Freudian analysis (mainly for the lulz. Don't ever take Freud seriously). But it's not polite digging in someones head over a forum post. : )Silver said:
I have no problem with people digging around in my head either. Not like I keep anything hidden in there. I suspect Freud would have a lot of things to say about it, and that almost all of it would have to do with sex and my mother/father. He was a bit hung up on that.Housebroken Lunatic said:
I would, but then again it wouldn't protect from STDs, so I'd use a condom anyway. Still, it should be down to both sides to make sure they're safe.
I wouldn't bother with this damn thing, but then I'm not in the habit of having sex with random people.
