Racoon Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Its about time. Men have had few option when it comes to birth control. Men have also been at he mercy of women and their sly machinations when it comes to conceiving a child, by "accident" or shrewd manipulation and cunning in many instances. If a woman doesn't wan't to get pregnant, she has a dozen options. Men only 2.So if a woman "accidently" forgets her shot or pill, then men now have a back up.. or at least studies are suggesting. After all, 18 years is a LONG time for fiscal responsibility if the relationship doen't work out.And it happpens ALL the time.:thumbs_up Contraceptive for men a shot in the arm | NEWS.com.au NEW Australian-developed contraceptive jab for men, taken four times a year, has been proven to be just as effective as birth-control pills for women. Sydney researchers found the hormonal injection is a quick and reliable method of contraception for up to 95 per cent of males. Until now, the only effective non-barrier contraceptive for men was a vasectomy, meaning that women tended to take on theresponsibility. Now there is an alternative - but pharmaceutical companies have shown little interest in making it available to the public. The new jab works by suppressing sperm output but does not have a permanent effect. Made up of a combination of the hormones androgen and progestin - mostly testosterone - it needs to be administered every two to three months. Researchers from the ANZAC Research Institute, University of Sydney and Concord Hospital studied 1756 men aged 18 to 51 and found the combined jab was quicker and more effective than an androgen-only version.

REASON Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Oh gosh, we're not going to get into that silly "girls don't like short guys" topic again, are we? Honestly, short is just fine. Heck, fingers are better. (There. Satisfy your libido guys? :cup: ) Stop it. You're gonna make me book a flight. I have family in your neck of the woods, you know. :phones: See I don't have to worry about takin' drugs. I've had a section taken out of each of my vas deferens which is probably the best birth control method there is for men. It is, for the most part, a lifelong commitment though, but there are no recurring costs. No one gets hurt when you're shootin' blanks. :) :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two ways of doing this without drugs or latex. One is to simply not emit any semen. The other is to emit the semen somewhere else. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
