Ha ha! I had a tubal ligation myself, and the liberation my husband and I received from knowing that no pregnancy would occur was exhilarating! I only wish I'd done it sooner.

We both decided we weren’t having kids so she did the same, and I had a vasectomy. Better to be very safe in our opinion.

unfortunately, it's not as reversible as all the female birth control methods.

I'm not making a value judgement of why we don't have equivalent male birth control, we probably should.

But just as women don't diligently practice birth control, men won't either. We're all equal in that respect.

I've been on "typical middle aged man" meds for BP for 10 years now. I've never gone even 3 days without taking them, and I can't even change my life by not taking them for 3+ days.

I mean, if you really want to minimize the chances of conception while still enjoying sex....

Vasectomies nor tubal ligation are 100% effective…and better to be safe than sorry.

There is, but men aren't pushing for its approval to be put on the market, no interest.

Well you are going to be. And for their lack of choices.
