99% Effective: First Hormone-Free Male Birth Control Pill Enters Human Trials

Can't wait for the flood of people telling us why this isn't feasible for men to take and insisting that when a SAFE and 100% EFFECTIVE form is ready they'll surely take it.
It's feasible for men to take.
But it's absolutely not feasible for women to trust a men who says he's taking it.So it is a good option for family planning of married couples (where the man is legally responsible for any children he might conceive).
But not for casual sex.I’m sure you’re taking the necessary precautions; but in case anybody reading this gets mixed ideas. Using the contraceptive pill will ONLY help prevent pregnancy. There are hundreds reasons why you should still wear a condom for sex with a new partner with unknown history. That goes for both parties!
Not sure how it's done where you live, but if you have a one night stand, the condom breaks, and she gets pregnant, you're still legally on the hook for child support. This sounds like a great idea for any man who wants their own insurance again any accidental pregnancy.
Yes, it is a great idea for men to take it.
It is not a great idea for women to have unprotected sex just because the man says he takes it.Yes, completely agree with that.
In no way was the original comment even trying to imply anything about women trusting men. So I'm a little confused about this response.
As a man I can assure you that this pill wouldn't be feasable for me to take and I'm better off without it.
~Because I'm snipped~
I'd take it so my gf can get off her hormone implant.
On another platform, yep.
It’s good to see an alternative, even though it’s going to be caught up in the precious fragile masculinity discussion.
You know what’s insane? Handing out hormonal birth control to 14 year old girls. Also, having women take hormones for decades on end.
Honestly I don't see why any person would want to force someone else to take hormones as a contraceptive when non-hormonal contraceptives work. And the fact that it's pill form makes it super easy. Literally not even an inconvenience. Just toss it back in the morning. Boom. Done.
Hormones will fuck you up.
I would love it, tbh
