lulz. @Champagne: Calm down chief. I think you’re so fired up cuz she’s right and you know it. I’m certain my girlfriend wouldn’t trust me with this, and she’d be right not to.

i know im late on this one but just wanted to say GREAT POST…..asked the boy if he would start taking the pill but seeing as it would involve going to the doctors. i got a big fat no on that one! another ‘true’ stereotype men don’t like doctors!
But all said and done i wouldn’t trust him.

The reason that women bear the burden for contraception is because men don’t get pregnant.

Now before everyone goes nuts here… think about it: You are with a man (married to him or not), and you leave the contraception to him. You get pregnant, and he does a runner, because he isn’t interested in kids… or maybe even in you (it happens on both ends, right?), and there YOU are… pregnant. At that point, if you weren’t looking to get pregnant at the time, you would probably be saying “What an asshole! I just KNEW I should have done this myself!”

Yes, both partners should be responsible beings… but we know that doesn’t always happen, right?

I’m all for male contraceptives, but we should be adults and see things as they are, not as we’d like them to be.

I had a vasectomy when we decided that we were done. Why should my wife have to have invasive surgery.

I left the hospital 90 minutes after arrival, and then went to Target.

My girlfriend turned me on to this website through Twitter. I love it! I love humor and getting a woman;s point of view. After all, I am just a guy and can use all the help I can get

As for the article, it’s hard to not bristle a little while reading it, but in gereal it IS true. Most men couldn’t be trusted with it. Most of them don’t even want to use a glove no matter how many women they are with.

I can say I would probably would have agreed to do it. After our 3rd son I was “neutered” as you say, so its not an issue for my girlfriend and I (yes, I am divorced not a dog). That said, I can’t say I would always trustworthy on taking it, but I would try.

It was a good article and I’ll be back to read more and get educated

Thank you for recognizing the distinction C&B. And I do agree that there is interest from that group as well. I should have made it more clear in the article that I was not talking about single or dating men. But, I will say it again, I also recognize that there are married men or men in serious, monogamous relationships that would take it as well. That being said, I stand by my humorous look at the stereotypical male/female dynamic, which nobody can possibly deny exists, nor is it destroying our society by joking about it.

Wow, Fantasia Lillith kudos to you on the survey – interesting results.

Once reading all the comments I have “personally” decided that the researchers and pharmacy companies would not use valuable time and money without knowing first hand if there is a market for the product they are developing.

Having said that, “I believe” the market is based on a new trend
where men are no longer willing to let a women make the ultimate decision on having a child. Therefore they are seeking ways to have personal control over this decision. To me, this group of men does fall more into the category of single and dating men, not men who “are married or seriously attached in monogamous relationships in which the woman has been taking care of the birth control successfully for years.” (quote from Petra)

Okay here’s how I feel about this. I would never trust my husband to take a pill everyday when it is for something like birth control but I think it is great that men who want to take this into their own hands now have the option to do so. But let’s face it it’s probably not likely because the consequences just aren’t real enough for them.
For me and my husband our form of male contraception is a vasectomy and so far it has worked great!!!

Oh and by the way, Douglas, a bigot is someone who is “utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion” which really does not apply to what I wrote. I even specifically stated that there probably were plenty of men out there that WOULD take it, but that in my opinion, they were in the minority. Just because I have an opinion does not make me a bigot. You should probably try to stay away from throwing around strong insults like that if you aren’t completely sure that they are appropriate. Someone could call YOU ignorant (which I would never do because I have more class than that, but I’m just sayin’)
