Man if this is effective in both cost and a high efficacy rate, then I'm so down, assuming I don't experience awful side effects.

I had the unfortunate experience of a manipulative woman lying about using protection, and it led to me developing a fear of others doing the same. It severely effected my dating/sex life all through my 20s.

If either party (or both!) can take easily-attainable birth control, it'd be so much better than we have it now.

It's a shame that male birth control has been so much more difficult to develop, probably due to the male reproductive system not relying on a cycle that can be quite easily interrupted.

Nah, condoms exist since ages and has many other benefits.

Yes, we all know condoms exist, thank you for your input.

First time in a long time I've seen FTFY used literally. Have an upvote

First time in a long time I’ve seen "literally" used right. Have an upvote.

I honestly appreciate that someone else cares enough about that word to upvote me for it. Thank you for being you

Literally can literally be used metaphorically:

The use of literally in a fashion that is hyperbolic or metaphoric is not new—evidence of this use dates back to 1769.

So getting upset about the way a word has been used since before the founding of the US is literally the dumbest thing someone could be mad about. 😁

Condoms + another birth control is more effective then just condoms

The problem with condoms though is that they suck. Like, ugh, I'll put on the toque of shame but stopping a frisky moment to apply birth control is just plain annoying.

Give me the swim team hiatus pill I can take before getting the penis brain, please and thanks.

You know what sucks? Unwanted children.
