evan9381 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 so i happened to be flipping thru channels and saw this show on the history channel about sex technology and shit coming out, etc etc. something that was brought up was "the pill" for men. basically it would take sperm production down to 0. so it got me thinking, how many guys would take that? im still undecided. what about you?

Mr. Jones Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 $100 after insurance = Vascetomy Best $100 youll ever spend F the pill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'd do it. I'm actually most likely going to get a Vascetomy at the beginning of next year. One kid is all we want/need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 yeah, but i guess its one of those things like, what if you decide you do want kids later on? me, im 22, have no want/need/desire for any kids. ever. but maybe one day that will change. i guess it would be a good option for me, but i dont know if i would want to take a pill daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I thought a vasectomy was reversible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'd give anything to have my vasectomy reversed and KNOW it was 100% effective. Not to mention: 1) It's not covered under insurance for the reversal. $8000 for the procedure, $4000 up front. 2) 85% effective within the first year of the initial procedure, 55% within the first three years, then it steadily decreases after that. Why did I have it done? My stupid bitch of an ex-wife said she didn't want any more kids after the first two, and I was nice enough to get "fixed" since it's quicker and less painful for the male versus the female. Two months after our separation (not even divorced) she's knocked up again. I'd like to have another child, and even artificial insemination is expensive and painful and not always 100%. A pill would be a great alternative. Ignore people like Shawn who have personal issues and tell everyone else to fuck having kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck finding a Doc that will do that for you... at 22 and 1 kid I don't think they will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 i'd take the pill in a heartbeat, provided long-term side effects are proven to be minimal. long term usage of birth control in women is not a good thing. puts them at risk for cancer, and more and more people are having a difficult time getting pregnant after discontinuing oral contraceptives.

hpfiend Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Negative for me- Just keep it wrapped up- Do you really think the risk of cancer/other long term effects will be different for men? Any chronic xenobiotic substance will have long term ramifications of some sort that we are unable to predict/prevent regardless of how "smart" we think we are. And no I am not a vegan/alternative medicine fanatic. Bachelors in Molecular Biology and Masters in Molecular Genetics- PhD program that I resigned from.

TTQ B4U Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Lambskin condoms FTW. Can't even tell there's one on. I don't want my wife to be taking the pill as there are tons of issues that vary from person to person. Besides, if we want to have a third kid, no problem.

Skinner Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 personally when it comes to kids we are done. 3 is enough for me/us. Last year when I my physical I brought it up to our family doc. and she told me think about it and if was truely something I wanted to do she would give me a referral. I held off on doing it since my wife had her tubes tied. As others like Shawn having a vasectomy more power to him. Thats what HE wanted. Besides there some people out there that shouldn't reproduce. As for the Pill itself it could be a good thing for the market. If insurance companies cover it 100% it may force them to do the same with womens birth control. Which I still don't understand why is not fully covered. Only other think that would concern me are longterm side affects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Do you really think the risk of cancer/other long term effects will be different for men? . i do. womens' hormonal systems are much, much more complicated than mens'. there are many more interactions that are critical for normal function, and not surprising, when you mess with them, you can get uncontrolled growth (cancer) as a result. i'm surprised a male pill has not been developed years ago-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 the pill is a good idea but if a male pill does come out std's are going to rise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I got a vasectomy I found out our second son had Autism. Until you deal with a child day in and day out that has Autism, don't tell me how it is. I (we) did not want to take the chance at having a second child with autism. That would just drive us into the wall. Mine was $60 after two visits. one for a talk to about and stuff, and the second for the actual procedure. Everyone has their own reasons and it's up to each person/family to decide. As for the Pill for men. I'd would have taken it WAY back in the day... like 10 years ago. Not now as it's not needed .

RedRocket1647545505 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 With the direction this world is heading, I would find it cruel to bring a kid into it. It's not something I'd want them to deal with. P.S. Planning on getting nipped within the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I had the old crochet hook maneuver done earlier this year. it is awesome, the pills were giving my wife migraines and 2 is enough for us. Yes it hurt, yes it healed quickly. my dr. suggested buying a 6 pack and sitting on it and slowly drinking them. his name was Dr. Bohl.

phil Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 i would be the first person in line for something like that, i look at my fuck up friends who are having kids at a young age and it makes me sad, i dont want kids until im out of college and have had a steady job for atleast 5 years.
