The loss of libido problem strikes me as a bigger problem with the male pill than with the female pill, mainly there are ways to get around loss of physical arousal with females if they're mentally interested, whereas it's a little more difficult to do that with a dude. No amount of lube gonna help if it's just not gettin' up.

Not to agree either way with the second statement, I've never had a problem with libido loss through female pills. The one girl I knew who bitched about this a lot, it was not a mental arousal issue, it was a physical wetness issue.

Maybe they should sell it with viagra, sort of like how RU486 is two steps, male pills are two steps. This obviously means about 4 people in the world will use it regularly.

Pardon the TMI but anyway:

More than once I'm tempted to get a vasectomy simply because the likelihood of me not having kids is growing. Unfortunately, some data indicates that going that route increases the risk of prostate cancer -- and as I've said a few times my family clearly has that as a specific genetic risk (my grandfather died of it, my uncle nearly so, my dad was detected early last year), so I'm not anxious to increase it.

You're assuming loss of libido in males is always a bad thing - not sure it would be to be honest.

no way to prove guy has taken it (and he's not the one at risk of the bubbeh, so you know...)

are the ways to prove that girls have taken it? (the dudes don't have to carry the bubbeh but it doesn't mean he's not "at risk" of it!)

haha for mark a loss of libido will just bring it back to slightly above average.

eight months pass...

We were discussing this last night with friends, and we agreed that the worst thing about condoms, besides the lessened sensation, is that with them sex often becomes performance-oriented... You can't have longer pauses and cuddling and stuff in between, because you can't let the little man to go limp. Or at least you'll have to have several condoms lying around, which often isn't the case. But obviously in many cases they're still the only reasonable option, so you'll just have to accept them as the necessary evil.

Having to say, "Well, um, don't we need to... get something?" in the heat of the moment = TOTAL DUD

OTM right there.

Oh no god, please help me...

Vietnam police seize more than 320,000 used condoms

...The condoms were reportedly washed, reshaped with wooden dildos and then repackaged before being resold...
