The good news is that the demand for the male pill exists. Scientists have been trying to develop a male version of the pill for decades , with many starts and stops along the way. While it may be a while until a male birth control method is approved by the Food and Drug Administration and put on the market, the desire for it seems to be growing.
HuffPost recently asked men how likely they were to use hormonal contraceptives if they were to become available to them. Some men told us they were eager to share the burden of contraception with the women in their lives. Some single men said they just want a say in their reproductive futures. What have you and your partner s mostly relied on?
When we wanted to try for a baby, we stopped. But I would try male birth control. All medications have side effects. Any man on this planet who complains about a headache because of his birth control methods needs to reexamine whether the sex is worth it. Is this the woman you want to be tied to for the rest of your lives? If she gets pregnant, it takes two parents to raise a child. Will you be there for every Christmas concert, soccer game, volunteer at schools, and be a taxi service when they need rides?
If not, take a simple pill and use a condom as backup. I did that until I had my three children and was mentally ready for kids and could financially afford them. When it came time to stop having children, I went for the vasectomy instead of her going to have her tubes tied. The surgery and recovery was nothing. I was back to working the next day. No one can question we want the sex much of the time. If we want it, we have to respect what our partners want to do with their bodies and lives. Man up, guys.
Take control of your futures while having your fun. I have three male children below 26 and they know how important this issue is to me. I feel like there are a lot of choices, but they all have some sort of drawback. My partner and I have used condoms and female birth control, either the patch or the pill. Currently condoms plus the pill.
