Has passed initial humans saftey tests.
The once-daily pill contains hormones designed to stop sperm production.
Men - Would you take them?
Women - would you prefer your man to be on birth control?
The thing is.. men can make 100 women pregnant a day, but a woman can only get pregnant once every nine months.
It makes sense for the male, or the seed spreader to be controlled, surely?
However saying that, i'd never put any hormone control into my body and i'd never force the Ms to either bun that.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I also use an app but also chart it manually Spath (because I'm pedantic and after my miscarriage never want to be pregnant ever again). I would love a baby of our own with Mr Cal, but I don't want to to risk going through that ever again so not going to happen unless there is a massive accident in which case we'd just have to hope for a happier outcomes, besides I'm very happy now as we are.
With you is it that you never want children, don't want them at the moment because there's still other things or aren't sure of the relationship being that long standing?

"s it is the only choice they do get."
They could always choose not to embark on a sexual encounter at all if no contraception is available. There is always some kind of choice.. I carry a condom in my wallet. I always have and always will, not because i anticipate a sexual relationship, but for the same time my Ms carries a paracetamol in her handbag. You just never know when you'll get a headache.
Best way Cal, if you have an app AND you have a physical calendar with a red cross on it etc. It's important to not only calculate your periods before going into FAM but also more importantly, during so in case you DO accidentally become pregnant, you can deal with it in ways that are much less stressful and emotionally draining (depending on your view point, but in my opinion, the morning after pill is a lot less stressful than a miscarriage)

Yes, of course, spath. There is always the option to say no, but I also know of a handful of children, whose fathers don't know they exist, and who will no doubt, get a visit one day. I don't particularly disapprove, as obviously, they weren't forced and presumably know what the outcome of sex can be. But everyone should be able to have as much of a say as possible over their own fertility.
I didn't mean they had no choice in sex, but that that is literally their one and only chance to have a say on becoming a parent, because that is the only part they do towards it.

I think a truly effective and reliable male contraceptive has to be welcomed because it gives men the freedom women have had for more than 50 years - control over their fertility. This pill would at last give men a badly needed protection against "sperm hijack" whereby women become pregnant "by accident", and ultimately mothers. There are far too many examples of men becoming fathers without being consulted (and please don't say they should just keep it in their pants - both parties have consensual sex and we have stopped telling women it is their fault so let's be even handed here), even when the woman knows full well that he does not want a child. At last men can ensure a pregnancy will not result, in a way other than vasectomy - both methods should be available to males from at least as young an age as is the "pill" to women, and there should be a campaign encouraging take-up.
