Women will be on top when men start taking birth control pills

Yes its coming!

To all you men out there who have been forcing their women to pop those pills before having it, now its your turn to be blamed for being irresponsible when your wife tells you that she is now expecting.  Every time when you hear a couple talking about family planning its always the women’s responsibility to make sure that she doesn’t fall pregnant unexpectedly.

According to MyBirthControlStore.com “a study has showed that male contraceptive will be based on a non-steroidal hormonal medical therapy that will be known as selective androgen receptor modulator. Dr. James Dalton at AAPS, the lead researches has expressed his views on the new male contraceptive development as “the most successful lab research on male birth control pills so far with complete safety and reversibly inhibited fertility with no side effects”.

Clinical trials have already begun in some US and UK labs.

Two UK based doctors, Nnaemeka Amobi and Christopher Smith of King’s College, have spent more than 12 years researching the developing of male birth control pills and they have designed the concept of “dry orgasm pill”. As the name suggests, this kind of pill will be required to take 2 hours prior to sex. It would “dry-up” the male semen without making any changes in orgasm.

While this drug is still on trial it has successfully worked on monkeys. After reading the last part of that research where it talks about “drying up of semen” I almost panicked because of the fear that maybe it wont be reversible. This will be very interesting seeing men in a clinic or pharmacy queuing for their family planning pills and being reminded by your wife at home to take your pills.

Seems like there isn’t a way out anymore guys, it’s now a shared responsibility.
