'Did you...'

'Yes, yes, yes...' (mistakenly assuming she's talking about putting the bins out)

Years ago a girlfriend at the time asked me if I would be willing to take the male contraceptive pill. I did say yes but added but "Would you be willing to trust me to remember to actually take it" . She knew about the amnesia so had a little think and realised that she could not expect me to remember. She reasonably realised that it would be a non starter. :lol:

I wonder if it'll do weird stuff like make hairs grow, make guys more emotional or aggressive.
You can definitely tell as a woman the effect of being dosed with hormones.

Do you think men will start to use it as an excuse to go shoplifting or do anything else and blame it on the hormones? ;)

Looks like it's slightly different in the way it works.
It'd be interesting based on how they're saying it works, whilst they say it doesn't affect sex drive it's certainly going to change the actual finale.

It does rather suggest that, yes. Maybe not a long term solution then... Also,

Kind of makes it sound like there were some side effects, just below the 'unthinkable' level. Which kind of leaves it at the level around 'massively inconvenient' to 'short of life threatening', none of which I'd be particularly happy about.

Not of course that I'd need to use them right now anyway :|

No. At least not after the snip. They can't escape down the tube, so they are released into the body. The human body develops anti-bodies to deal with the little intruders.

I haven't read the article, so I don't know if the pill stops this natural process.

Only when the pillock of a doctor forgets to check to see if the anesthetic has worked, before he slices you open! Then it hurts like hell!

I'd have sued the crap out of him for that.

Where could it possibly make hairs grow on a male that they don't already grow anyway? (8+)
