Would you be willing to take male birth control?

Understanding the risks of birth control, would you take on this burden, assuming you mean it when you say that contraception should be the responsibility of both parties? Why or why not?

Male birth control study nixed after men can't handle side effects women face daily

Men complained about getting “mood swings.”

If it was more than a horribly designed TRT protocol I would.

I have two sons and that is more than enough. After the birth of our youngest son I had a vasectomy and won't need to worry about biologically fathering another child. Even if male birth control drugs were available way back I am not sure I would have gone that route. Mainly due to possible immediate and residual side effects. I am one, and always have been a proponent of safe sex. That means slow down and make sure you girls is protected from impregnation or wear your own male protection. I feel a wild tangent coming on......I am so VERY VERY bugged by couples that engage in unprotected sexual practices then wonder how they got pregnant......go figure. There are women within our population that must dumber than a rock. On welfare, seven small children, seven different fathers and on welfare and food stamps. Those women are too stupid to have children. No hate mail, please.

I as many others took the ultimate BC pill. I don't see the need for a pill but that's just me.

Incomplete question. You have to look at the biological benefits to either party on taking on the role of birth control. You can dive into the equality issue all you want and if you and your partner really do not want kids two forms won't hurt. That being said females tend to benefit more from the birth control.

Many women take birth control not only for the obvious effect, but for the effect of regulating or reducing menses pain and symptoms. My wife is an example of this ( she uses Mirena IUD which has been a godsend ) and it is a very common practice. Still, there are always risks with any drug which don't go away if it is a male or female taking the drug.

No one solution is best, but as it currently stands, females benefit more from it. That shouldn't persuade men not to take measures, however.
