LMAO - women have been guinea pigs for years but men want still more research before they'll try it...wouldn't want to mess themselves up with hormones!!pah!

won't it be great when men can't blame women for trapping them with pregnancy anymore?

When? They can do it now by getting a vasectomy. It's a quick operation and is affordable - particularly if you live in the U.K and are prepared to go on a waiting list and have it done for free. Throw a stone out of the window and I would hit 5 men who have had it done.

Ughhh, screwing with your hormones is a "no-no" in my book. So much can go wrong!
In my case hormones did more evil than good. I'm finally off them and I feel much better.

Vasectomy sounds like the more logical choice to me. Especially if both you and your partner are on the same page of not wanting biological children.

BM I think a lot of younger men are not so into the idea of vasectomy since it's definitely way more invasive. Plus wouldn't the upfront cost be more expensive?

yes i know about vasectomy, BM, but that is kind of permanent...so puts a lot of people off especially if they don't have kids...and if they do i probably don't want to get with them if you know worrimean...

and i am completely in agreement about messing with hormones, i just find it ironic that men EXPECT women to have it covered, and feel betrayed if their woman gets pregnant (not ALL men of course) yet refuse to take the risk or responsibility on themselves.

i was all for being a guinea pig when young but i am not happy with it anymore...my exhusband had THREE "accidental" pregnancies. two wi

I agree katatonic, I'm not on the pill because I don't like the idea of hormones. I am also fully prepared to get an abortion if necessary, but it's doubtful it will ever come to that.
