Male contraception: "Honey, do you mind shoving this plug up your penis?"

Would you ever trust a guy that said, "Don't worry girl. I'm on The Pill." Yeah. I wouldn't. Well, unless I knew him and he was, like, my serious BF, or if...oh never mind. MSNBC is reporting that male contraceptives could very soon be a reality, yet I seriously doubt how many men would use them. Some options for men could be The Sperm Blocker, which is literally a plug that goes into the vas deferens and blocks the sperm from getting through, or if that seems too intrusive, there may also be the option of a testosterone-like pill.

Or if your guy is afraid of taking a hormone pill (which most likely all of them will be) there is the non-hormonal pill with the component CDB-4022, which has prevented sperm from swimming to their destination when tested in monkeys. While it seems like a good idea, and that men should be taking more part in contraception (men currently only take responsibility for a third of contraception in the United States) I doubt they'll be able to sell the male population on this.

You have got to be kidding. Believe me when I say this, men are desparate for for a male version of the pill. It is amazing to see people like you bash men. I would have given almost anything for a male version of the pill when I was in my teens and twenties. Why? Because a male birth control pill would give a man the power to control the outcome of sex. No longer would he be held hostage to the whims of the woman. No longer would he face the prospect of his partner breaking her promise to have an abortion. He would control his own fate. The male birth control pill means that for children to come into this world, both parents would have to give consent. Today only the woman need give consent. Why would a man refuse that which prevents an unwanted child and the obligation to support the child from being rammed down his throat? The male birth control pill actually represents a huge power shift in male female relations. One which favors men. You are truly one wacky bitch!
