  I just hope it doesn't screw up mens hormones like the depo shot seems to do with so many women (I was one of them).

  I find this article VERY OFFENSIVE, OMG, no side effects for men! What about the side effects women endure, I say about damn fcken time that men take birth control too! All the stupid reasons listed above are all reasons that currently exist, it is just not convenient enough for a man to take pills, but women have to endure it? How disgusting.

  The reason this article is so offensive is not because it cites the lack of side-effects associated with this medication, but because it takes the pronatalist view that birth control is bad, that it promotes irresponsibility in our society, and the implication that 90% of people alive today were conceived against the will of their parents.

  The fact is that birth control allows for parents to choose when and if they can afford to feed and clothe another child while not sacrificing their physical bond, and it prevents those who are unprepared or unwilling to become parents from raising and neglecting unwanted children.

  Most men would be grateful to have the option of reversible birth control so that they can be active participants in planning their families instead of foisting the burden on their partners alone.

  You know None, every time I see one of your posts it's something angry and hateful. It's kind of sad actually.

  On topic, men have wanted their own birth control pill variant almost since women got theirs. The problem until now seemed to be that there was just too wide of a range of testosterone levels to compensate for compared to estrogen levels. I hope this does work and who knows, maybe it too will be concentrated into a pill form eventually but it's good to see things moving closer.

  I think its great!!! Some women includong me can't be on birth control, and condoms break. So we have to take our chances. Finally there is an alternative to that!

  "newageknight" I haven't even see you ever b4, so your critique doesn't even make me wince, when these posts are all about how men are victims, and how to please men, and this and that, I will give my full opinion, if you don't like it, it's your problem, so you can mind your bees wax! :)
