Given both sexes have multiple options for reliable birth control, there is no serendipidy, accidents, or "fate," which previously means at least one of them has to own the decision of being open to the likelihood of conception. Adding a male birth control pill means both have to actively decide to forego birth control to concieve. From a probability perspective, one person "forgetting," can happen, but both? In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, "not bloody likely."
I would forsee the impact of a male pill as, at absolute minumum, a decimation of replacement level fertility, if not a total evolutionalry select-out of cultures and populations that adopted it. Males who inevitably moralize not propagating will necessarily die off from a genetic perspective. Nice to have the option as a teenager, but in aggregate, as a strategy it seems unwise.
