What Contraception Is There For Men?

Women get the pill, the morning after pill, patches, diaphrams , implants and probably more. What is there for men? Just the condom?

Condoms, vasectomy... Sorry. That's about it. I think it's great that you are asking. Most guys leave it up to us, and that's why it sucks to be a girl sometimes. We have to take care of almost everything. But, I think if you provide birth control (condoms, foam) or help her get her own she would be very appreciative. I bet the sex would be better if you show how much you care about protecting her (and yourself). Smile

There is a foam that has spermacide in it. You have to insert into her vagina.

Doctors have been working on a male contraceptive pill for years-seems to be a little trickier than the female version.It will be a great day when they are able to give men the responsibility of oral contraception!!!Patty

That still wouldnt be enough for me. I like being on the pill, because I know i',m protected. Who knows how long that condom has been in his wallet? Ya know?


Urge her to get some sort of birth control though. My bf urged me- he said we couldnt fool around until I was on it! I made an appt at my doctor, and went from there. He was very helpful and always calls me at 10pm (unless he's here) to remind me to take it!

Thats what I mean tho. You say you like being on the pill cus u know ur protected, well I wish I had that same option. And if both male and female were on the pill it would be a really really low chance of getin pregnant

when a guy is sterile, he doesn't have sperm, just semen. When you do a b/j, you don't have babies in your mouth, either. The women carries the eggs.........
