Honestly, as a dude, I'm 100% down for male birth control. Can't wait.

Man if this is effective in both cost and a high efficacy rate, then I'm so down, assuming I don't experience awful side effects.
I had the unfortunate experience of a manipulative woman lying about using protection, and it led to me developing a fear of others doing the same. It severely effected my dating/sex life all through my 20s.
If either party (or both!) can take easily-attainable birth control, it'd be so much better than we have it now.
It's a shame that male birth control has been so much more difficult to develop, probably due to the male reproductive system not relying on a cycle that can be quite easily interrupted.
Still condom unless a long term partner. Though I'm paranoid about sti
I exist because my mother told my father that she was taking birth control. My father hasn’t been a part of my life except on a few occasions where he wanted to be here and there, and I don’t hold a grudge. My mom proudly told me this when I was about 9. I don’t blame her either, she raised herself from the time she was 4 years old when her mother committed suicide. She did the best she could with what she had as a person with no education and no parents to guide her.
My father came for the birth of my oldest biological child. He came for a few Christmases. He showed up when I was going through a divorce and helped me fix a car for my now ex. He didn’t have to do any of that. I barely know him at all, and even though it bums me out from time to time, it is what it is.
Life is a mess for everybody haha.
Friendly reminder of the core problem: medical treatments are all balanced against the risk of what it counteracts.
Undergoing physical and chemical changes to grow another creature inside you and have it damage everything on the way out is pretty risky. Female birth control only has to be less risky than that.
A male has zero physiological risk from impregnating someone. Therefore, anything except a miracle drug with high efficacy and almost zero side effects is going to stall at the trial stage.
On another note, that speaks to how safe and effective vasectomies are.
Written by someone who has never had to pay child support.
Yeah zero psychological risk is a bit of an overstatement. Zero physical maybe, but there's definitely psychological risks, and I'm not even thinking about child support
Edit: I can't read, it says physiological and I'm just deficient in the reading
They said Physiological not Psychological. There's a considerable difference between those two words.
I will say this as often as I can, getting the ol snip snip was the best decision I've ever made.
Oh, I'm way ahead of them there, with 44 years of shitty diet and lifestyle choices.
I've been ingesting mirco plastics on purpose to avoid having children!
Everyone brace yourself! The Christians are looking for Bible quotes right now!
If altar boys could get pregnant, the church would have approved birth control long ago.
Ha jokes on them, the plastic in my balls is permanently shutting of my sperm!
Plastic is stored in the balls
Women's birth control hasn't exactly been side-effect-free, what with the strokes. But also, sauce?
The point of the joke is not that they think men are being babies about it. It is that women's birth control causes these same side effects, along with strokes, and a number of other serious, long term issues. However when women say they do not want to take birth control, and instead opt for doing things that require more responsibility of the man, they are often told similar things concerning the negative effects they get when using it, and they should just deal with it.
Did this happen? Or was this a satirical take on something that happened to women?
Man my birth control seems way safer and way more effective. It's called: "Obesity, Trichotillomania, and absolutely fuck all confidence."
Not saying the pill won't eventually appear but the track record for men contraception hitting the market is not good. It always get cancelled in an endless loop of disapointment.
People serious about sharing the load or protecting women from the aide effect of birth control should look up vasectomy or thermal contraception. It works.
I've been on thermal contraception for 6months myself and my sperm production bas completely stoped with no side effects. Highly recommend.
can't wait for the inevitable surge of pregnancies, as people learn that that sperm doesn't just fucking disappear, and that it needs to be manually cleared first.
If it flies, look for a huge spike in stds

Untrue. There are some people that specifically seek that, along with the STDs called "bug chasers." Since I've been cursed with this knowledge, so must you all be.
Me still waiting on Vasalgel after 2 decades.

I've heard of a male birth control every couple years and still nothing on the market. Usually it's because there are slight side effects and that's considered to much of a risk meanwhile female birth control can cause blood clots and whatnot. I'm too jaded to believe this will ever come to fruition.
Every sperm is sacred!
I find it strange that many people here are against this when the alternative is a surgical treatment that often can't be easily reversed, and even when it is, often lowers the likelihood they will have a kid.
Chemical solutions are way better in that regard because if they are done right they don't damage any tissue and their affects are temporary.
When it comes to birth control for far too long women have been getting the short end of the….. oh, nevermind
