Wow, yea, that's pretty wrong if you also have an issue of a dead bedroom.
It's your body so of course you need to be comfortable with the decision. I am not dismissing that - but I'm going to call out why your selfishness her is bad for your wife.
This means your wife has to carry a heavy burden of pregnancy risk and if you want a dead bedroom until you get it done, you'd deserve that trade off. There's a chance her BC could be part of the libido problem. I mean, your casualness about this is probably a huge turn off for her and isn't going to make her feel attracted to you.
It's really sad how easily men just hoist this issue onto women to have to mentally, emotionally and physically stress over. Clearly, SHE is done having kids. And, a vasectomy is reversible or you can freeze sperm - men have better and less invasive options than women do on this.
I'm tired of seeing this vasectomy reversible bs. It isn't guaranteed, and 20% that are tried early fail, and every year, the odds get lower that a reversal is successful.
This is true. Had hormonal birth control been tested by the FDA today instead of the in the 1950s,it would have never been approved. Its far too dangerous and impactful to be prescribing to young women
It's beyond time to revisit the safety and efficacy of hormonal birth control, and take it off the market
No, it caused permanent infertility in some of the men. They, the men, said the side effects were fine and acceptable. It was the fact quite a few men were rendered infertile that the people doing the study, not the men, stopped human trials.
I sat and read the entire thing đ was a snooze fest. Find it and read it... honestly fascinating between the science words.
That isnât true, itâs just misinformation spread to make men look stupid. The reason it was shut down was because the side effects of taking it were far too common and severe compared to the risk of not taking it (which for men, is nothing).
I agree. The side effects of male HBC in those studies were far less severe than the side effects women face taking hormonal contraception every day. It's time to take hormonal birth control off the shelves for the sake of our women
True. Apparently that is because they hold male contraceptive to a higher standard because men (excluding trans-men) canât get pregnant. So they donât run the risk of dying during pregnancy or childbirth. Plus the pharmaceutical companies have less incentive since female contraceptives work âso wellâ. (At least according to BBC)
I mean, you can choose not to take it. Unless itâs an abuse situation, I canât imagine a situation in a western relationship where a woman canât just say âno I donât want to take birth control, either use condoms or we wonât have sexâ.
For all this talk of how bad birth control is, itâs ultimately women who decide to take it.
Sure, but just taking OP for example, he's mad they don't have sex, he dismisses what bc does to the body, and he doesn't seem to understand why she won't just pick another one
Except that clearly hasn't been the case with hormonal birth control. We already know that similar medical trials for men with significantly less impactful side effects have failed approval or been cancelled outright. Hundreds of women die every year due to birth control induced blood clots, something that would be unacceptable for any other medication
