Since the 20th century introduction of female contraceptives, women are for the 1st time capable of commanding their own lives. (Even getting rid of men for their happiness, in extreme cases, such as feminism.) We men could achieve the same independence from women (and ourselves) if we had a similar contraceptive. I propose an applied research that results in such individual control over fertility, libido, and social imperatives, as the one that women gain out of the existing female products. Would you support such a development?
Why in the hell would we ever want to give the government one more excuse to raid our wallets?
 
No, that's not what I mean! :lol: I'm saying that he feels maybe somewhat like he has to "depend" on women for sexual satisfaction, and therefore he feels that makes him more vulnerable to women taking advantage of him. But I'm not sure, LOL, I guess he would have to verify that, and I'm not saying that those are healthy feelings to have either.
You know what? All of a sudden, I get it. It makes sense: Anyone who feels dependent on every woman they find attractive, any person who wants to get away from themselves, obviously needs hormone therapy...though were not talking about birth control so much as a padded room.
 
I would guess that he's probably talking more about societal social pressures on men regarding sex and relationships. It sounds like he thinks that birth control and reproductive freedom have freed women from these kinds of pressures and "dependence" to great degree and he wants the same done on the male side.

But honestly that's just a stab in the dark. The more he talks the more difficult it is to decipher what he's saying.

ab99, if you want to have conversations about these things, you should try starting with a much longer, more clear OP. It seems like when you say things, you are assuming that everyone is starting on same page as you, when the truth is that we don't even know what book you're reading. Lay out an overview of the basic concepts you are talking about and state your premises clearly, with real-world examples we can relate to. It's like, you keep starting in the middle of a very complex conversation, and none of us heard the beginning, you know?

LOL - you sound insane. :) You honestly sound like you're paranoid or thinking that women have created this massive undoing controlling dominating cult over males an we only use them to get knocked up - and rich. :rofl: I laughed at the last line - women have good control over their biology and feelings . . . but men are too dependent on them. LOL What the hell dude?

But I think what you're trying to say is that you want a hormonal form of birth control for men. . . see - so simple. "I support hormonal birth control for men." is all you had to say.

Hmmm ... yes! Thanks for the help. Indeed my point is that we need a hormonal control for men, not only physical.

(It's great that some posters such as you can actually say what I want to say but I can't. Thanks. :) )

Does female contraception reduce sex drive? Ive never looked into it?
 
Umm with drugs/alcohol? Or when he's asleep? Or underage?
...the edge of a knife or end of a gun...simply getting beaten into submission.... basically all the same ways women can be raped, though we don't see many gay men claiming rape because they just regret their actions the previous night...cudos to them.

No it does not. That is why this makes no sense. It sounds like he is referring to chemical castration.

None of them are rape, right? And at least the last one, that is how every man is initiated by the will of a woman (or women if more in the bed). The 18 thing is a joke. There is always a first woman, and to call her a rapist is nonsense, I think.

What? No. BC hasn't freed women...have you seen the news? Women say they can't get BC without the gub'ment, they need the tax-payer to float the bill for all their BC needs. Does the name Sandra Fluke ring a bell? That law graduate claims she can't even pay for her own condoms, has sex 300 times per day (according to the math).

I didn't say I agreed with him. I'm just trying to figure out what the hell he's saying.

And yes, birth control has freed women in many huge ways, and most women have no trouble obtaining it. Sandra Fluke just wants it for free because old men get their boner pills.

It can just about destroy it completely, yeah, either as a direct side effect of the chemical, or indirectly by harming her self image though wight gain, or increasing fatigue. Some women feel objectified by their significant other when they go on BC because their partner then feels free to pursue sex more. That's a pure social effect not caused by the BC itself, but can completely crash her sex drive anyway.

If that effect is as positive and calming as in women, it might be not that bad. Sometimes men need to be saved from themselves, I speculate. Why do you say that it is negative?

I personally haven't found it to be calming in women, but maybe that's just based on my own acquaintances. As for the issue with men, it would depend on what the specific mode of action was for the contraceptive in question. I'm pretty much a naturalist when it comes to human relations, and men's testosterone levels are imperative for some of the male traits, both physical and psychological. To me, these are important. But, as I said, I'll leave it up to men, since it's their bodies they would be dealing with.
 
That is probably more like it, but you survive it. Male psychology is not like female.
Hey, you didn't know how men could be raped. Tab-A goes into slot-B. If it's a hole, something can be put in it. You didn't know that, so don't pretend to be an expert now.

But boner pills aren't BC :doh There's a part of the man's body that stopped working correctly, and these pills help it work correctly again. BC does the exact opposite, taking a perfectly functional reproductive system and disabling it. The 2 are not related.

When men want to a free pill that keeps them from getting an erection, then Ms. Fluke will have grounds to complain.

I think NitroHangover that you found out exactly what I was thinking when opening this thread. I should have been clearer, your writing method seems very effective, I will use it in the future. Thanks. :)

Some of it does. It's not designed to do that but for some women it's a side effect.
