I'd say you are a rare case then.

Just like those cholesterol tablets that can give you a stroke.

The guy with 180 and feels 20 years younger and is lighter on his feet doesn't think so.

No one has ever gotten pregnant while using as directed either, though I cannot say the same with condoms and other forms of "rhythm" birth control.

My one buddy's sister is a product of a broken jimmy.

Take your pill...or I WILL! LOL
It was really effective for us. I never wanted to have sex (it killed my drive) so there was really no risk of pregnancy.

Then I tried another method (The ring) and that one caused anxiety, my pulse to race and heart palpitations.

So it was condoms or no sex until he decided to have a vasectomy.

There should still be options for men and couples like the male BCP. Some men are forgetful and some women are forgetful. If you are a man and know your partner is forgetful, wouldn't you want to have the option to go on birth control to skip this hazard?

I found zero sex drive on the pill too. (Before other health problems cropped up) Damn that's effective birth control! The woman never wants to have sex with you again, abstinence is the BEST birth control. The Pill, winning the battle against unwanted pregnancies since 1960.

It fails because the U.S. has supposedly millions of "unwanted pregnancies" each year and reported rates of "the pill" somehow didn't change that
P.S: yes I know that not everyone is using it either.

Meh, the birth rate is well below replacement levels in Canada. The rate of unplanned pregnancies/fertile woman and resulting abortions are lower too. Seems people are using birth control just fine in these parts for the most part. We rely on immigration for our birth rate short falls.

You do know that you said "the pill" changed it. One would think that, within a few years of its introduction, abortion rates would plummet severely. This didn't happen, in fact abortion rates increased some decades later instead. But that's not the mere problem. Fact is that when asked about "unplanned pregnancy", almost 3/4 of pregnancies were claimed to be "accidental". That's just hilarious, regadless of the fact that over a million of those unplanned pregnancies end with abortion. Fact is that even more are resulting with childbirth and you said that "the pill won against unwanted pregnancies". Or.... maybe it did deal for the most part against unwanted pregnancies for the woman.

I'd either take my pill for you or just have sex with myself.

I might let you watch, but hen again I'm a selfish bastard and would enjoy punishing you.

You obviously never suffered from a non-existant libido. I wouldn't be "punished" because I wouldn't have given a shyt. That solution would have actually be preferable.
