theres plenty of different females birth control options now. pills, shots, etc

ive been with responsible women who took the pill daily. no issues whatsoever. they found it worked for them. also been with irresponsible women too.

my initial point was that the reason male birth control isnt big is because there isnt something CONVENIENT and reliable like a pill to take... as far as i know and unless someone can show me otherwise, the only male birth control methods involve incisions to the sac. the financial reasonings in the article seem to make sense. but the fact that most men probably arent giddy to jump at the chance to have a scalpel on their nuts probably wouldnt let male birth control be widely used. and especially considering so many women are already using birth control for whatever reasons they have.

also i realize the availabilit of male bc hinges on initial contracts to make it available, but im sayin that even WITH that as a given i dont think male BC would be very widely used in its current form
