Yeah, it really is not that bad. I know it can be a hard sell to many men, though, understandably. It can take a bit of mental fortitude to allow someone to take a blade to your tenders. 🤣
Even though female birth control comes with disproportionately more side effects, some men still refuse.
Agreed! While I've never wanted children, I had to wait a considerable time before a doctor would perform a vasectomy on me. I think that there should be continued research into temporary male birth control for those who may want children. There have been several promising non-hormonal methods that I would like to either see approved or have wider adoption. I also believe that we need continued education on condom use, as STIs disproportionately affect women.
That would be the dream. And condoms are underrated.
I also hope the chance of getting baby trapped goes down a little bit too. Won't stop birth control sabotage, but it would still help.
