The Male Birth Control Pill..your opinion?

Question:

The MBCP has been out for a while but is going to be made public soon. These pills will have no side effects or the drastic hormonal changes that a woman experiances. How is that they can make a pill for a man with no side effect right out of the gate but not a woman? Could it be because men are the ones that are doing the studing and are the scientist behind these pills? What are thoughts/opinions?
Men: Will you take it?
Women: Will you trust a man who says he's on the pill?

Answers:
well i think that it's simply because males are much more simple in every way.women have so many more hormonal issues to begin with so our meds are naturally more complicated. i think having more options for birth control is great. at the end it would prevent more unwanted pregnancies and reduce the number of abortions all around.
i wouldn't just depend on the man to take birth control..not b/c i didn't trust him but i would be afraid he wouldn't take it correctly or would forget.
i'm interested in seeing if men would be willing to take it..this is the first i've heard of this.where would i find more info on it?

Men are just cooler than women..

Now get back in the kitchen!

I would love for that to happen. i would let my man take pills instead of me. but, i don't think i would trust guys.

Well less side effects because a male biochemistry doesn't fluctuate like a female's does. Less radical changes to watch out for.
I don't think it is a conspiracy and from what I have learned a female birth control pill gives a lot of health benefits as well so if there is a conspiracy there would be for that as well. Male systems are just more basic than a female's since doesn't require systems to support a baby

As long as there was enough data to show it is safe I would take it no problem. Would be great to help reduce any further any risk with a condom (which i would still wear) and also help cover the small percentage of time a female pill might fail (and no I don't trust a woman who say she is on pill either so I think women would be silly to not still take precaution)

they say its with no side-effects they women pills seemed safe in the 60's so time could prove this wrong.
but if its true then its because its easy to kill the sperm i mean if a man is in a steam bath for a little long his sperm would be dead it will have to be renewed before he can get a woman pregnant.
and as for me i wont take this damn pill on a regular bases i probably wont take it at all i would feel like a woman if i took a pill like that. it would be like if a woman grew a mustache that wont be good.
and as for women don't worry guy tend to run off when they hear they got you pregnant and that you want to keep the baby so why would they try to get you pregnant without telling you!

I love my husband very much, and this is a great idea, but I really don't know if I would trust him 100% to take it. It's my body that gets pregnant, not his. Yes, he helps with our children, and he's a great dad. But he's never been pregnant!

well i see nothing wrong in this & i guess there shall be no problem in taking pills. but i guess most of the people will prefer condoms always because they guard you against STDs & INFECTIONS also.
i spoke to one specialist doctor & he recommended that one shall always use condoms to be on the safer side.
but i wonder if couples use condom all the time. i guess they don't.. cuz they feel it lowers the enjoyment.
so i guess the pill will do gr8 if MEN dont find it insulting or egoistic or any general problem in taking medicines.

If you think the reason the MBC pill doesn't have side affect's and the WBC pill does is because the scientists are men.you are on paranoid psycho biatch! gawwwd! Did you ever think

I think it's a good idea, but I don't think the woman should stop taking bc all together just because the man is, they should both take BC. I wouldn't trust just BC in in one or the other, many kids have been concieved with the mom on BC. Both would be best.

when the FDA says it is safe I would consider it.
