It seems as though researchers have developed a pill for men. Interestingly, it operates on the same principle as the female pill: induce pregnancy hormones. In order to counteract the problems that this would cause on a male system (impotence, decreased sex drive, etc.), they also pump the body with testosterone.
I’m fascinated that we’re willing to allow this level of hormone messing for folks to keep from getting pregnant, but we still won’t allow hormone futzing for trans folks. How much do you want to bet that this will be covered by insurance the moment that it is released on the market?
Why is it important for the male to worry about using the contraceptive pill when he is not the one that has to worry about falling pregnant?
Im doing an assigment on this topic for school, could you give me some feed back!
Thank you heaps
There’s a very simple reason for the male to worry about contreception. Women lie. Not all women but some. Condoms are great but, ideally, (if you are in a committed relationship and she is on the pill) you both will want to take them off. However this exposes the male to unwanted parenthood should his female partner elect to use deception by not taking the pill but telling him she is.
On the other side of the coin, men wouldnt be able to BS themselves out of their responsibities. The “I was trapped” defense wouldn’t work because he would be just as empowered to prevent pregancy as she is.
besides don’t you think it would be polite for the man to take some responsibility, it just seems like a polite thing for a guy too do, it doesn’t neccessarily have to be a trust thing, more of a safe guard, just incase,
Hi. I am here to tell you that men are responsible just as much as women are. They need to have a way to control the sperm that they have, just as much as we women need to control our eggs. Technology has given us the means to. We as consenting adults have to think of the children that we make or don’t make. So much passion, yet the kids cost dollars, not passion. Remember that next time you hear that zipper unzip.
