British scientists are reported to be developing a male contraceptive pill which can work on single dose.
It is reported that the pilll could be taken hours before sex but allow a man's fertility to return to normal within hours, with no side effects.
The new hormone - free pill could be on the market within the next five years!
I'm concern that when these men take these pill, will they lose their sex drive as the same as some women lost their sex drive.
Is this pill going to stop men getting women pregnant? Women has more responability too! It takes two!
What do you think folks? Is this going to work, will it cut down Teenage girl's having babies or people who have unprotected sex ends up preganant?
What about STD? There's no protecting ourselves!!
Have your SAY!!!
I agree with you. It does take two. This is why I feel that it is the women's responsibility to protect herself. Sure it is an equal "tango" but the outcome is not always equal. If 2 people are in a committed relationship than the male contraceptive pill would be an excellent 2nd choice to the female contraceptive pill, as opposed to condoms. This is only because they are a committed long-term couple. Other couples should still use condoms because of STDs. This alternative would also be beneficial in relationships where women cannot take the birth control pill (allergic, etc.).
I think in other situations, such as new relationships, one-night stands, etc. it is best for the women to not rely on the male contraceptive pill.
It could be possible for a woman to be misled by a man believing that he has taken the pill.
Can't you just picture inexperienced teens and the boy telling the girl not to worry that they don't have a condom because he has taken the pill. How would she know for sure?
A more positive way to look at it for guys is that it will protect themselves from those kinda girls who get pregnant on purpose to trap them. Or even the nice girls who get pregnant by accident.
In general I do think it will cut down on unplanned pregnancies. As three methods of B.C. are obviously better than 2. The problem is whether they are used correctly.
As far as male sex drive is concerned the make-up of the new pill does not have any ingredients that effect male sex drive.
The reason why some women experience this is because of the hormones in the female birth control pill.
In general lack of sex drive in males is uncommon (even in males with erectile dysfunction).
I also think that the birth control pill (both male and female) should not need a prescription. Is it not our right to protect ourselves? We need to get permission to be safe. There are many over-the-counter drugs that would cause worse harm if used incorrectly, than the birth control pill would.
