Is anyone has any experience with male contraceptives?
Please share with us, I think there are loads of men interesting in this matter. Is this way to show women we care about them or this is an silly idea?

Without that lil dude above meaning to offend, male contraceptives i.e. condoms are a regular discussion point round here. Most people use them...so their lady of choice does not get pregnant, or either couple do not contract a STI. It's a case of showing respect for yourself and your partner, with obviously some exceptions where maybe the lady is on the pill or using a form of contraception herself, ie female condom. But with the pill, there is no protection against STI's. I don't think you'll find anyone who considers condoms a silly idea... :rolleyes:

Well I thought condoms were too obvious a contraception to bother mentioning...though he meant another form....I'm not that stupid!
Lol, when I opened the page to type in my reply there were no others at the time, so that none of that was aimed at you dear
There's a male pill?
And as it said male contraceptives, I thought maybe that threw in condoms as well...though apologies if I haven't properly cottoned onto what he meant!

You probably have. Pretty vague question though...
Me & my wife are both unhappy with them and we want to try something different. The thing is, she thought taking pills regulary for years may cause side effects.This is a bit unfair only the women to take this sort of "Chemical Assault" so we decided to share this responsability over the unwanted pregnancy.
I just wondered is there anything designed for men and what is it?
yeah
and I'm sorry 'bout that! :nervous:
When I think "contraceptives" I don't mention condoms only. This term include all of them, doesn't it?
Yeah it does. I don't know of any others for men though, unless you have the snip but that negates being able to ever have kids I think.
hope she is wrong though.
Check this out!

Personally, I think this is unacceptable at the moment! :banghead:
