I think the idea of a pill for guys is a terrible idea, first of all, men are pretty forgetful (no offense to the gentlemen here) but yes, they would forget,
ALSO, men can easily tell a woman that they can have sex without a condom because 'there on the pill' and lie about it.

Ladies, it's all about protecting yourself, in no way should you leave it up to them.

That is a very good point, but if a pill existed for guys it would be more for guys in a relationship.

I'm forgetful as well, but if I was on the pill, I'd put an alarm in my phone or whatever to remind me to take it. Plus my partner would make sure I've taken it, because it's his problem as well if I get pregnant.

It'd be the same for guys I reckon.

Yeah, the male pill would definitely be for long relationships. I don't see why it's necessary, but if they feel like making it, then whatever. I mean, if girls don't want to take the pill, and for some reason guys don't want to / are too retarded to know how to put a condom on, there's always the female condom, diaphragm, morning after pill (which i know isn't really a contraceptive), and the ol' fashioned method of just pulling out (which obviously isn't all that effective but it's miles better than nothing).

For drunken one night stands, would a girl really trust a guy with taking his daily pill? I think most would want another measure just in case, which really renders the male pill unnecessary.

Meh, not really. Speaking for myself, I honestly don't care, it's not like it's offensive or anything. And there's always the female pill - I really can't imagine a male pill having a lower failure rate than the female.

Just for some people to know.. some people are allergic to latex so the injection would give them the opportunity for safe sex.

Me on the other hand... I'd just go without >.> i dont want no jabs

That's true; and people wouldn't make the mistake of using an oil lube like baby oil with a condom. But the jabs wouldn't be safe sex - safe sex is without the risk of STIs, and pretty much the only way of achieving it is with a condom.

I've heard of non latex condoms, made out of sheep skin I think?
Apparently there not as safe as latex

Also, another point about the 'male pill', the pill doesnt protect against STD's
Condoms and diaphrams are the only way to protect against those.
You've gotta know your partners sexual history because condoms stop being used in a relationship.

You should also get yourself and partner tested for STIs if you stop using barrier methods because people often lie about their sexual histories or they may not even know if they have an STI or not. Plus someone might say they're a virgin but may have participated in unprotected sex acts other than intercourse.

From wikipedia, just because it makes it easier explaining.
The most common non-latex condoms are made from polyurethane. Condoms may also be made from other synthetic materials, such as AT-10 resin, and most recently polyisoprene.[

Polyurethane condoms tend to be the same width and thickness as latex condoms, with most polyurethane condoms between 0.04 mm and 0.07 mm thick.[30] Polyurethane is also the material of many female condoms.

Polyurethane can be considered better than latex in several ways: it conducts heat better than latex, is not as sensitive to temperature and ultraviolet light (and so has less rigid storage requirements and a longer shelf life), can be used with oil-based lubricants, is less allergenic than latex, and does not have an odor.

Polyurethane condoms have gained FDA approval for sale in the United States as an effective method of contraception and HIV prevention, and under laboratory conditions have been shown to be just as effective as latex for these purposes.

However, polyurethane condoms are less elastic than latex ones, and may be more likely to slip or break than latex and are more expensive.

Polyisoprene is a synthetic version of natural rubber latex. While significantly more expensive, it has the advantages of latex (such as being softer and more elastic than polyurethane condoms) without the protein which is responsible for latex allergies.


So I guess if you are allergic to latex, these condoms are better than nothing.

Diaphragms do not protect against all STDs, only the ones that effect the cervix. The condom is way better.

Agreed, Condoms are the best way to protect from STD's,

and getting yourself tested for STD's is also a great idea.

Better safe than sorry
