No. But I also dont trust female birth control pills. I'm vaguely aware of the side effects and hormonal shifts, and I don't think I want that in my life.

of course nothing is 100% effective, not even condoms. consider each an additional layer of security.

So i should triple wrap?

Sure, but is the additional security worth the sides? I could wear a medieval suit of armor around all day to be safer, but it would be extremely inconvenient.

That's the nice thing about having more contraceptive options on the market, you are more likely to find an option with minimal side effects for you and/or your partner.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I cant argue with this point

The big point of this one is that it is not hormonal, and so far this study shows no side effects. So for a couple, it could be the pill with least side effects overall.

Good! You shouldn't. If you're trying to not have children, you should be on birth control, or partner should be in birth control, and you should use condoms.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I've been there done that, lol. I'm old and already did the contraception and condoms long ago. Have 2 children now, do not want more. It sounds like a nice alternative to snipping, but I just can't trust it. We are fine, and im sure menopause is not far away for her.

It sounds like a nice alternative to snipping,

Don't fear the snip.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I think it's mostly a matter of being quasi irreversible rather than fear of surgery. That's a huge decision to take if you don't have children.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

True. AFAIK the procedure itself is irreversible, but you can still have kids with in vitro if you dumb your mind.

🎶All our times have come

Here, but now they're gone

Seasons don't fear the snipper

Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain 🎶

Don’t fear the snip. Mine was almost entirely painless and it’s really nice to have one less thing to worry about.

Only side effect is now my right testicle dangles lower than my left.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Agreed. I was hoping for vasalgel work out, got tired of waiting, and got the snip.

There's lots of anecdotal evidence that orgasms are actually better afterwards. I tend to agree, but it's something that's ~~easy~~ hard to study properly. Edit: god, that was bad wording.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think the orgasms are better because you don’t have the worry of pregnancy

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago

I dunno, I get better orgasms when jerking off, too. But again, hard to say for sure.
