Male Contraceptives, anyone?

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
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?
You say....

    Male contraceptives as in what? Examples?

    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:

    I honestly think they meant the male pill.

    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...

    It's not about the condoms.
    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.

    there is a male pill in development...and also a male contraceptive injection but they are both awhile away yet...my nurse at the doctors said at least another three years away :impissed:

    hope she is wrong though.
