Everyone sounds really excited about it. Hell, I think it's great too. But I'm not *eee* about it. Drugs just frighten me because there is always a catch to them. Like if you take too much motrin you kidneys [or was it liver?] can get damaged. I posted this in phallicpregunta:
"Although it's been experimented with for 5 years, I still would warn me boyfriend if he decided to use it. I'm not very trusting of drugs because many times there are long term effects and I would just die inside knowing that I could have prevented my boyfriend from hurting himself unknowingly. That can sound a bit over dramatic, but I do not wish anything to happen to him, as I'm sure you'd feel the same way."
What do you think?

i agree. i don't take hormonal birth control because i don't like to consume unnatural things when i don't need to, and i also want to avoid the side effects. my boyfriend is the same way and i'm more interested in pursuing natural methods.

i'm glad they're finding new methods of birth control, and that males are getting more responsibility in it. i'm sure it'll work for some people. personally this doesn't do much for me though.

With male birth control, i understand that because its still so new the long long term side effects are still unknown. But i think female birth control is extremly safe. I'm not a big fan of drugs myself, but i've found nothing but benifits being on birth control. But i think in life everything is a risk. We're poluting our bodies everyday by just breathing the air, and eating foods that could possibly be harmful. Of course, you shouldn't go walk in the middle of traffic or swallow gasoline, but i don't think life is worth avoiding things that look scary simply because they could be harmful. The most important thing is to always educate yourself about the product before you decide to use it.
