So if the man says he took the pill but didn't does he have to raise the child himself ? I reckon he should

Vasectomy for the win. All juice, no seeds, no worry.

I find celibacy has been rather effective for me. lol

It says it's effective but not yet approved. I wonder if the religious extremists will try to slow things down. It will be interesting to see what happens when it does get put out on the market. However, I think a lot of women should still use protection just to be safe. There are guys that want to have a child (one just moved to the island) and I know of one who is the father of several kids from different women. Remember, we will say anything to get what we want!!

"...the study's senior investigator, Dr. Stephanie Page..."

Wait a minute, the senoir investigator is a woman?!
I'm outraged! lol

I wonder how many male lawmakers will protest this drug being researched by women when men have been making the decisions on female reproduction for all these years.

...and you know we men will SAY we're on the pill...but

But then that would shift burden to men...

I'm sure government will protect male birth control a lot better than they do female.
If male birth control ever becomes truly practical, they'll probably write it into the constitution.
I don't understand why any man wouldn't jump at the chance to control his own firtility with the same effectiveness as women can.

I fixed that problem over 6 years ago. I was fortunate that the VA performs vasectomies, they do put you through a series of psychology evaluations and ask many times if you are absolutely certain you want the procedure done.

Interesting if men will take the initiative to take it? May take education of adolescents.

It was about time.

Im a teacher (in Australia) I teach history - last year I was teaching at a catholic shool - history in the senior years here is theme based - last year Itaught feminism to a bunch of yr 12 girls at a catholic school - Idid some research into this - I remember reading about it - apparently it was never marketed as companies thought men would object to having to take a pill everyday!!! that was it - so they were saying men were uncaring and lazy - apparently thats what their research said. Im a male - as my photo reveals - if Iwas in a relationship and we had not decided to have children Iwould like to be able to control my own fertility - anyway that research was done in the 60's.

I got snipped at 19. I was forced to do a year of therapy and have my therapist sign off on it before any doctor would do it. I never regreted my choice.

I wonder how many men will flock to this. The responsible ones will, I hope.

It's been known for quite some time exogenous testosterone, in sufficient doses, makes men infertile. Exogenous testosterone suppresses a man's endogenous testosterone so a sufficiently large dose must be administered or the circulating testosterone will be too low. Low testosterone is closely linked to depression. Getting regular blood work with a decent endocrinologist can make sure the man stays within safe levels without getting too low. I'm 55 and am taking a testosterone gel as part of my old man HRT. Done under supervision it's safer than OTC NSAIDS and I love how it makes me feel!

SIde effects may include hot dog fingers, beach balls, tounge ties, and limp bisquit.

We should have someway to make us all sterile until we grow up and decide it’s time to have kids...THEN you get a pill to make you fertile again.

Various thoughts: STDs will abound! Women won't trust men saying they took it. The idea of ingesting a spermicide makes me puke in my mouth a little bit... Perhaps it will be more for married men.

Sex is fired by the animal within us. Humans pretend to be more or better than the animal, so they should be able to control the animal within by being smart. If you can't control that animal, and you don't want the result of where sex is meant for, it's ok to use chemicals and/or hormones to help the human that can't control the animal to prevent negative results of its animalistic behaviour.

I wish they would develop a pill against agression, just to prevent people dying in all those wars around the globe. The rich would not like that.

Considering the consequences (they aren’t going to get pregnant either way) ..not sure I’d trust them.

Umm...Sarcasm? Hello?
