We’re going to trust men with an invisible daily birth control? I don’t think so.
As with any invisible or otherwise difficult to monitor birth control method, this is really only for people in dedicated relationships.
It goes both ways. A man shouldn’t trust a women he just met to be on birth control. A women should have the same reservations.
This is for people who can trust a long term partner, and who wouldn’t be destroyed by the failure of the product. And that’s still a huge market.

Why not delete the comment and respond to the right person? Not that you should at this point, but it would have taken less time than explaining it in an edit so I’m curious
I would guess because people get a notification with the comment. If that then gets deleted without explanation then you leave someone confused.
Exactly, no one should trust anyone they just met.
I’ve several ex girlfriends who fuck up taking their daily birth control and needed plan b… IDK why men would be worse tho, please explain?
They knew they missed it, chose to have sex anyway, and took steps to prevent pregnancy. You probably saw that plan b is not really fun and not something you want to do often. That’s different than someone not telling you they’re inconsistent with the med or telling you afterwards.
Biases and more biases. More way to prevent pregnacy is good and a male one(finally) is even better. No one is forcing you to stop using yours? Why are shitting on extra protection?
My ex gfs also did the same, also told me to cum inside. Fucking horny 19 year olds girls were crazy. Well even when we got older they still be thirsty for that jizz
Such a weird argument. Look beyond that one use case.
In my case, I, a male, don’t want kids. I would get this. I’d still use condoms, because STDs. But in the event that they don’t work (because it can happen), at least I know that I won’t get anyone accidentally pregnant. It’s great!
it’s not an argument. it’s a belief
women = good, men = bad.
it’s a cultural bias called ‘women are wonderful’ effect. we are culturally biased to think men are bad and women are good.
It’s a protective response. People don’t generally do what is good for you unless it’s also good for them, especially at a time when ‘emotions’ are running hot.
Sooo you would say that “man wants to get woman pregnant and lies about it” is somehow more likely than “woman wants to get pregnant and lies about it”?
Man wants to get laid and no condom is pretty common. Woman wants to get secretly pregnant happens.
No, both happen equally often. It’s not “men want to make everyone pregnant and women are saints”.
Men want to have sex at the same frequency that women want to get pregnant? I’m pretty sure that’s not accurate.
Men don’t want to get someone pregnant by having sex with them just as much as women don’t want to get pregnant.
You have some preconceived bias on how all of this works. The reality is it’s 50-50. There are scumbag men and there are scumbag women. At the end of the day what you are saying with “oh no we must trust men with a contraceptive now” amounts to “oh no we must trust men not to rape”.
Why not both? Seems awesome for reducing risk of pregnancy even further.
It’s for relationships. if you’re with a new partner use condoms.
This is why Grindr has a Stat for when you were last tested. Straight dating platforms should have it too imo
If you‘re sleeping around it’s a good thing, in addition to condoms. Condoms do fail sometimes. The probability of a condom and hormonal birth control failing at the same time is much lower
we trust women with it
You can walk away. What if this were a medication that prevented HIV? Would you trust someone else without protecting yourself?
There is a medication that prevents HIV, it’s called PrEP
And it’s awesome how well prep works! If you were not on it and met someone who told you they were, would you trust them and risk it?
I understand the upvotes, but I also understand the downvotes.
Boys are, in general, dumb. But some are malicious.
Be careful out there.
so are women.
it’s almost as one’s stupidity and malaciousness has nothing to do with their sex or gender…
