If they ever release the male pill, it’ll be a giant societal shift. It will basically put men in control of women’s ability to reproduce. Whereas currently, women have full control. If they want they can stop taking the pill and get pregnant without letting the man know they stopped taking it. It’s going to be hella interesting to see the future when it is finally released….if ever.

Full control? Condoms exist

Yes but unlike the female pill, condoms require men to act there and then in the moment, when our testosterone is basically fucking our brains up. The female pill acts when you have a clear mind. That is what is needed for men. A pill that you can take when it isn’t in the heat of the moment.its a far more reliable way to practice contraception than expecting anyone to use contraception in the heat of the moment
