Even when I'm away, I'll be with you.

Long story short in case you don’t want to read the article, there is a fluid that can be injected into the vas deferens which lines it with a substance that makes sperm lose their fertilizing ability. It doesn’t affect a man’s ability to create fully functional sperm, it just kind of deactivates them as they travel from the testes. It takes several days to take effect and lasts for 10 years. If the man decides he wants to have children, it is easily reversed by injecting a solvent and takes 2-3 months for him to be fertile again. (No one decides to have a baby on a whim though, so 2-3 months sounds like a reasonable heads up to get the reversal)

It’s too bad that we live in a society where birth control is seen as a women’s issue. We MUST be the ones to remember to take a pill every day or get something implanted in our uterus, while our sexual partners complain about how condoms don’t feel as good and try to coax us into the pull-out method.

Too bad we also live in a society where pharmaceutical companies, at the end of the day, will still only be interested in the solution to a problem that makes them the most money.

“The trouble is, most people don’t even know this exists. And if men only need one super-cheap shot every 10 years or more, that’s not something that gets big pharmaceutical companies all fired up, because they’ll make zero money on it (even if it might have the side benefit of, you know, destroying HIV)”

I hope this form of birth control soon becomes a fully tested and marketed reality. COME ON SCIENCEEEEEEE. Because it just makes so much sense. I don’t know why this was never the first idea when it came to birth control. Wait no. I know why. Science being a male dominated industry, of course the first solutions to be thought would have the mentality of “What can we do with the female reproductive system to that sperm does not get them pregnant? Because the idea of trying to stop something at it’s source, is just plain ridiculous”

Not to demonize men, or sperm, or sex, or babies (I love them all), but it is the man achieving his pleasure and his orgasm and introducing something foreign into our bodies that makes a baby…yet all current birth control mentalities have been that we has women have to take it upon ourselves to combat this intrusion, while he gets to roll over and fall asleep.

It’s like…if you’re about to have someone over to your house (vagina) and you know they might track mud (unwanted substance aka sperm) into your house. You have to be the one to make sure you either lay down a protective layer over your carpet before hand (birth control). Or if you forget, you have to rush to clean up afterwards (morning after pill). How rude and inconsiderate right? The person could have just wiped their feet clean of mud at the doorstep to begin with.

This!!

I’m sorry. An injection to the most sensitive place on the male body should not be compared to “wiping your feet.” That’s like using a bear trap to solve your houseguest’s muddy boot problem. I’ll just stick to covering it up, thanks.
