A birth control pill for men is now a reality. You have read this right. An international consortium of physicians has revealed that the pill is a “safe, effective, and reversible” contraception for men. Gentlemen, don’t forget to take your pills once a day, or else a mishap may occur.
The preparation includes progestin, a key ingredient found in women's birth-control pills. It appears to function in an analogous fashion for men, suppressing "both rate and extent" of sperm production. Some men say they are ready for more participation. I guess using a condom is not enough and that is for the people who make the right decision to use one.
I have to be honest. I do not think I would ride this bandwagon of using this “male birth control” pill. I would be willing to take it but not enthused about it. Personally, I feel bad for women when they have to remember to take the pill everyday and if they forget, let’s not think about what could happen. If I am in a deeply committed relationship, I guess it would have to be some kind of compromise of course. I think there are enough preventive methods from contracting diseases; it is a matter of outreach and educating everyone on what measurers they can take.
