7 Ways Male Birth Control Will Change Everything

The birth control injection may soon be a reality for men. How will this change things?

Researchers in China may have succeeded in developing what people have dreamed about for centuries: effective, reversible male birth control that has no serious side effects (at least in the short-term).

Consisting of 500 mg of testosterone undecanoate in tea seed oil, this experimental contraceptive injection was tested on 1,045 healthy males, aged 20-45 years old, for 30 months. Each study participant had fathered a child within the two years before the study began. Their female partners were between 18 and 38 years old. All had normal medical histories. 7 Signs He May Have Spring Fever

The study found that, like the pill, the effectiveness of the injection was near 99%.

If this male hormonal contractreption is further developed and succeeds in reaching the market, how will it change the world? We've thought of a few ways.

1. Lots more drunken men in bars saying: "Don't worry, I'm on the shot."

2. Lots more pregnant women everywhere muttering to their girlfriends: "He said he was on the shot."

3. Sensitive New Age Guys the world over finally able to prove that, yes, baby, if they could, they would be the ones to take the hormones.

4. The faster spread of diseases we'd prefer not to have. Sorry. We had to say it.

5. Happy, irresponsible bachelors everywhere no longer able to use the excuse of being "trapped" into parenthood.

6. Iconic Heart song, "All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You," no longer relevant.

7. With simultaneous invention of the time-travel machine, 90% of us not born.

 

Can you relate?

Let's not forget the biggest and most important reason why male birth control is needed - gold diggers. It doesn't matter if you're a 30k guy or 3million guy it's about gaining access to your wallet with zero accountability for where that money is going or being spent on. Never forget, to the majority American woman your only worth is how much money you make and if they get pregnant with your demonspawn then they can suck you dry for 18 years. Woman, what if a man had that kind of power over you what would you say or do? That's what I thought......

Did the woman sneak into your bedroom and steal your sperm in your sleep?

It's very simple - if you don't want to take care of a kid for the rest of your life, don't make one. If you don't want to make one, don't have sex. If you want sex without a baby, use birth control. Take some responsibility for yourself.

Wow actually for centuries men did have that power and worse over women. They would force them into sex impregnate them and then leave them.

Safe sex is BOTH partner's responsibility. If you end up with kids you only have yourself to blame. Stop women hating. And I don't know where you get the idea that "most" women think that way. None of the women I know think that way at all.

Once guys figure out what testosterone undecanoate really means, it wont just be New Age Sensitive guys wanting to take it. It's an anabolic steroid that makes men infertile while taking it. It will have much more benefits to guys then birth control does for women.

Why are "Happy, bachelors" irresponsible?? Because we don't want to have someone lie to us, defraud us under the guise of loving??? And why should we be forced by an greedy state to force us into arole we did not agree to? Why should a woman get to say "i am on the pill." ,"I can't get pregnant", Pin prick the condom in a effort to get preggers then expect us to want them,get married and chained to them and delude ourselves ???

Because when you have sex, you need to accept that an accidental pregnancy is a possible outcome no matter what the birth control. If you want sex and don't want to deal with parenthood should an unplanned pregnancy occur, that is irresponsible. Women who get pregnant on the pill more often than not get pregnant because of the 1% failure rate, not because they deceived their partner. Sounds to me like you just had a bad experience.
