    It’s feasible for men to take.
    But it’s absolutely not feasible for women to trust a men who says he’s taking it.

    So it is a good option for family planning of married couples (where the man is legally responsible for any children he might conceive).
    But not for casual sex.

      In no way was the original comment even trying to imply anything about women trusting men. So I’m a little confused about this response.

      Shoes the same on the other foot, pal. Especially considering how often it’s been studied that women stop taking the pill without telling their spouses and then lie to them after getting pregnant, claiming how “crazy and unexpected” it was to get pregnant while on birth control.

        The difference is that the worst possible outcome for men is a financial burden.
        The worst outcome for women is an unplanned pregnancy, which no matter if you abort it or not, has a very severe effect on the body and mind, on top of everything else.

          Either way it would be a betrayal of trust that robs you of agency over your own life. That’s definitely not just financial either, any non-sociopath would also have to worry about protecting the wellbeing of their child who a terrible person has parental rights over.

      Not sure how it’s done where you live, but if you have a one night stand, the condom breaks, and she gets pregnant, you’re still legally on the hook for child support. This sounds like a great idea for any man who want their own insurance again any accidental pregnancy.

        Yes, it is a great idea for men to take it.
        It is not a great idea for women to have unprotected sex just because the man says he takes it.

      I’m sure you’re taking the necessary precautions; but in case anybody reading this gets mixed ideas. Using the contraceptive pill will ONLY help prevent pregnancy. There are hundreds reasons why you should still wear a condom for sex with a new partner with unknown history. That goes for both parties!
