(Don't tell me how condom works, you know what I mean.)
- dpark 9y agoEvery time male contraception comes up, someone says this. It makes no sense. Men get vasectomies all the time and their partners trust them.
- erik_seaberg 9y agoBirth control for women has the same issue, especially when self-administered.
- lsaferite 9y agoMale birth control is for the man to ensure he is not a father. Female birth control is for the female to ensure she is not a mother. Condoms are for both parties to prevent pregnancy and to control STDs. For a male using BC to not use a condom and 'interface' with a female not using BC, they would need a level of trust. Personally, if I were single and wanted to remain a non-parent, I'd use male BC and a condom in every case. The chances of both forms of BC failing simultaneously is minuscule.
