Pretty sure the early adopters are going to be any one who wants to have sex ...

This would be extremely good marketing in our celebraty-obsessed culture.

Promiscuous people should be using condoms at all times, first of all.

#45I wonder how this would effect STD rates in areas with bad sex ed? I could see a lot of people thinking 'don't need a condom because I can't make someone pregnant now'. Not that this product is a bad thing, very useful for people in monogamous relationships.
I wonder if fewer unwanted children can lead to a reduction in STDs via economic effects, e.g. reduced poverty.

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
It doesn't even make sense. Women have the possibility to abort a pregnancy while men have no say whatsoever (in regions where the big pharma companies are coming from). So the argument that women would do more for male birth control is somewhat strange considering they have all the power in their hands right now.
That's adversarial thinking. If the man and woman are in a trusting relationship, the question changes from one of "power" to responsibility. Today, most reversible contraceptive methods (pill, rhythm, IUD, abortion) rely on the woman owning responsibility (one which they may be unwilling or unable to carry out). Male contraception relieves women of that burden.
> If the man and woman are in a trusting relationship
That's the problem right there...

#47This seems quite perfect in theory. Not invasive, lasts for a long time, just one shot and then you're done... I hope the clinical tests will bring good news for that project, because this is something I would do if it comes on the market one day.

#48This would seem to be the best birth control for either sex. Fingers crossed it makes it to market.

#49- I'm not paying money to have needle injecting chemicals with unexplored potential (longterm) side effects into my private parts when the potential success rate is that of a condom. Condoms kind of work. - "The pill" is a bit more than just a contraceptive. A variety of issues, ranging from skin problems to hormonal imabalances are regulated through the pill, which quite efficiently normalizes outliers in female hor…
I've known a lot of women to stop taking hormonal birth control because of the side effects. Everything you stated are definitely the potential positive effects of hormonal birth control, but it certainty isn't the actual experience for a lot of women.
I'm male and would gladly to take a birth control that doesn't effect me on a hormonal level, especially if it meant my partner could could stop taking a hormonal birth control. Also just of respect of sharing the burden, sounds like it would be way easier to have this injected into my vas deferens and last 13+ years then to have to remember to take a pill every day.

Could you explain this further? I don't quite understand.
