Male Birth Control: Would you use it?
So there are new methods of birth control that will be available soon for men to use. One is a male version of ‘The Pill’ and another is essentially a shot comparable to Depro Provera (the BC shot for women). Both work to stop the production of semen from a combination of hormones.
"Traditionally, contraception has been considered a woman’s responsibility. Women have undergone the most invasive testing and methods to control their fertility. Examples of contraceptive methods that women have used are the pill, IUDs, the sponge, female condom, birth control shots or patches, cervical cap, and implants. Except the female condom, all of these forms of contraception have potential side effects.
The male birth control shot is the first contraception available for men that that requires a medical procedure.

Male birth control, from the pill or shot, has NO side effects and make it possible for a male in a relationship to contribute to the sexual health of both himself and his partner, since the side effects of birth control (yes, even condoms) for women can have serious side effects ranging from allergic reactions to blood clots to heart attacks. Now, a condom isn’t going to give you a heart attack, but it can cause allergic reactions for women who are allergic to latex or the lubricant from the condom package.
Women have been in charge of birth control for. …. Ever. And now with this new technology soon the be unleashed on the masses, the polls are saying that most men wouldn’t go near it! Not only is it unfair, but it’s negligent and ignorant. One excuse was, " I wouldn’t use it; if it’s still being tested and it isn’t out yet then how can I be sure it’s really going to work?" Which is a ridiculous argument. They’ve only realized in recent years that menstrual cramps may be painful and that scientists can toy with hormones to control periods and fertility in women. Men are notorious for not being willing to participate in studies or trails concerning their manhood and what comes out of it, so the openness and new found sexuality of this day and age are allowing scientists more freedom and better access to men’s sexual health studies and participants in trials.
My point is; Male Birth Control. Men, would you use it? Women, what do you think of this new development? I would really like some good, thoughtful feedback on the subject.

I would not mind taking MBC, but i am not at an age where it doesn’t matter anymore
Good idea, but ‘Male Birth Control’ sounds kinda gay.
I’d be skeptical of the "no side effects" part. If they could truly prove there were no side effects I would definitely take it.
I WOULDNT USE IT PERSONALLY UNLESS I KNEW THE LONG TERM RISKS INVOLVED, THERES ALWAYS BAD SIDE AFFECTS TO THESE THINGS. BUT I THINK ITS A GOOD OPTION FOR OTHER GUYS. I KNOW ITS PLENTY SCANDALOUS FEMALES OUT TRYIN TO GET THEIR SEEDS USING DECEPTION, BUT NOW YOU CAN BE SURE SHE WONT GET PREG! HA!
Your not happy with your man juice??
I wouldnt do it if i were a guy…
Plus its hard enough as a woman to keep up with the pill.
i did it ….. its called get your nuts cut …… lol
I wouldn’t. If I haven’t heard of it, it must be bad. I’m a woman and I would rather take the pill. I think you should let your gf do that stuff, you just supply the condoms.
Already using male birth control – condoms
I think the side effects and long term issues that would potentially develop need to be explored first. However, by the time the studies are done, I’ll have had all the children my wife and I want so it’ll be vasectomy time after that.
OMG! Really?!? This is great news! I’ll be using the pill
Now, we one step closer to a free world. We got birth under control.
Now we need to figure out HIV & Herpes prevention to have a ‘free’ world. if u get that
Personally I would get it although I would still wrap my tool if I was having sex with different people all the time. Of course my current partner is STD free (as am I) so this would be very nice
I’ll use a condom, nothing else. I’m not willing to risk screwing up my hormones and testicles.
Also, what is ridiculous about not being willing to participate in studies or trials that could destroy the sexual organs? If women want to put hormones and chemicals into their systems, that is their choice, I’ll stick with condoms.
My girlfriend takes birth control, we’ve been going out for 2 and a half years and are about to get married and she she still makes me wear a condom. I would use it in a instance. It would nice not have to worry about my semen that much.
