Birth Control for Men?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Have you heard about the birth control for men that is expected to be available next year? No, this birth control does not involve a guy spending the day with badly behaving children. It’s an actual pill (or injection) that men would take that would release small doses of hormones, not unlike the female birth control.
Taking a look at the so called “side effects” for men, they don’t seem as scary as the ones associated with female birth control. I read about weight gain of about four to ten pounds, but that would mostly in muscle mass (no fair!), and it lowers the good cholesterol.
What do you think of the birth control for men?
Guys, would you consider taking it? I know men generally have an aversion to going to the doctor, but would you be interested in finding out more about it?
Ladies, would you want your man to take it? Would you want to know if the guy you were dating was on it?
A friend of mine was curious about how much it would cost and wondered if women would be willing to pay for their men to have it. What do you think about sharing the cost of birth control?
