(17,997 posts)Even back when I was a teen they were talking about creating a bcp for men. Surveys at the time showed men had no interest and wouldn't take it.
Now, they've created one that should hit the markets in a couple years.
I was a really uniformed teen. The first few years I was sexually active we didn't use any bc.
I was raped at 14 and became pregnant. (Not that being uniformed had anything to do with that) Thankfully, I had a mother who was pro-choice and a doctor who was very sensitive and understanding.
I can't believe how lucky I was at 17. I had a boyfriend, 10 years older, told me he had a vasectomy. He lied. He eventually told the truth but what an ass.
Frankly, it's one of the benefits of being with a woman. Don't have to worry about getting pregnant. Can't wait for menopause when I won't have to worry at all.
Glad to hear there are some guys that would take on the responsibility. Good for you.
I hope this doesn't sound bad, but here's hoping you get laid soon!
