Male Birth Control

Alejo, I hope that's sarcasm ... morning after pills are not designed as a dependent contraceptive but as a last chance get out clause. Taking them has significant short time side effects and is at best around 85% effective (compared to the pill and condoms which are 99%).

I support your first point but the example is flawed.

That's why they're there if the condom busts, I forget, or I figure she's on the pill and she ends up not being. It's the last line for me. The shot for me will not be entering the equation.

Mea culpa, the impression I got was basically along the lines of "it's ok baby, we don't need a condom, I've got these". I must say however I disagree with your expectation that it should be the women alone responsible for taking chemicals into their body in aid of contraception. What if you eventually settle down with a woman who happens to be allergic to the pill? Rubbers fo' lyfe?

Pull and pray or her tubes tied. Assholish...but probably true.

Am I the only one who immediatly thought of Jason Bateman's character from Juno like, immediatly?
Like secretly taking it around baby obsessed chick's back and she freaks out and thinks shes infertile and you just don't want to be a daddy so you use this as a form of procrastination?

Yeah, thats possiple, but I guess its good for long-term relationships where you've both been tested and all that junk. And I don't really think it will spread disease any more then the female birth control shot would.

I agree with Fal, another contraceptive for men could be useful for those who are in a relationship where the shot is the best alternative for contraception. Maybe the girl has problems with pills for example which can also lead to fatal blood clotting and other adverse effects on health.

Furthermore, I agree that it's a bit egoistic to expect the girls to pump themselves full of chemicals without being willing to do the same. I don't know about this shot, but perhaps the side effects are not so bad and overall, it could be a safer alternative than many of the female contraceptives.

As for casual sex, as I said, you could just keep using condoms. I wouldn't get a shot if I didn't know if I was maybe going to have casual sex. Rubber is (probably) easier, safer (protects against STDs, no side effects) and cheaper.

There's no shot out yet, it's just something in development. All discussion about side effects are pure conjecture based on assumptions about what the shot will be when it's finally deemed marketable.

I still think that with this shot, it will open alot of people to not use condoms. Honestly, who uses a condom JUST too stop STD's. Truthfully, I only used them to not have a baby. Alot of people do not think about the STD part of the condom.
