Male Contraception finally getting more focus

[Hermit For Peace]

Condoms have been used to prevent pregnancy since the Middle Ages, with the rubber version arriving in the industrial mid-1800s. Over the years, they've become more effective and comfortable to use.

But it was the invention of birth control pills, followed by IUDs in the 1960s, that created a seismic shift in humans' ability to control reproduction. A growing range of pills, patches and implants became available to women. And yet, a stretchy sheath that covers the penis remains the only medically approved form of contraception for men, short of vasectomy.

But now, researchers are looking into both hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives for sperm bearers. The hope is that couples will begin to treat contraception more as a shared responsibility.

"We would like to create a menu of options for men similar to what women have available to them," says Stephanie Page, a researcher and endocrinologist at the University of Washington.

Good news, especially since many women poke holes in condoms when their male partners don't want children.

LOL, this isn't an "incel misogynist" criticism. I found out how big this problem is from Childfree Reddit, the vast majority of them are feminist women who oppose this practice. They call these "oops babies".

As I said, Childfree Reddit is 90% liberal, feminist women. I thought Atlas liked that demographic?

As a progressive soy boy I think as long as I'm aware of it, I'd be totally down to take male birth control given it has passed some sort of (even possibly sub-standard!) FDA approval. No adverts needed. But presumably with some idea of who the best target audience is, developers would know to add a feminist bent to their advertising.

What's that saying go about what it means when you deny something you weren't overtly accused of?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

If you are in a monogamist relationship you don't need condoms due to birth control pills and abortion pills but if you are not use them

HIV you don't get really as a male, I never got it it's a female disease but you can still get it either sex, the way the organs are MADE

Hell I might take some just for good measure!

My "I am not an incel misogynist" T-shirt is raising a lot of questions that are already answered by the T-shirt... especially when people notice the "I only browse Childfree Reddit" part on the back.

That's why the wise man backs up the tip with a standard type of Duct Tape.  Always be safe. 

As for the man contracepcion that's fine but I bet Fox News is going to go nuts and say that it's gonna turn us all into "Lady Bois" while they mainline Viagra in between commercial breaks so that they can give their wives proper attention.

I remember last time science was just around the corner from making this, except the side affects were like "it only works on 70% of men, and 15% of the men that take it lose their sex drive" and some of you couldn't figure out why men might not want to take it.

[GP270watch]

 If a male birth control with few or minor side effects is introduced to the market the birth rate will plummet to virtually nothing.

Because most children are unwanted? Seems like projection.

99% of people on Reddit are virgins lying about their experience with sexual relationships.
