You missed a big reason for women not to take hormonal BC. Reduced or absent sex-drive. That's a large issue for a woman in a relationship and probably a large issue for single women as well.
- spacehome 9y agoI didn't bring it up because it's not a reason to prefer vasalgel over hormonal BC.
- lsaferite 9y ago> There are many women who are reluctant to take hormonal birth control pills for a variety of reasons. Your list had nothing to do with preferring male over female BC. It was talking about reasons women could be reluctant to use hormonal BC methods. I was simply adding a very large side-effect to the list of reasons a woman might skip a hormonal BC method.
- spacehome 9y agoOh! Sorry, I totally misinterpreted your original comment. I thought you meant that women who have a pre-existing condition of low sex drive don't want to take the pill because they have no interest in sex and hence contraception. While true, it didn't make much sense in context. It being a side-effect of the pill makes much more sense.
