Boom. This thread delivers. Genuine fighting, good natured insults, news updates AND, where else can you get both actual advice on your personal relationship with your girlfriend while also getting encouragement to post pictures of her tits?
Jesus Christ. 1. She is not pregnant right now. A pregnancy doesn't start in less than 48 hours. 2. She can either get Plan B or Next Choice over the counter and it would reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89% in the first 72 hours. It's still effective, but less so, on the fourth and fifth day she can take EC. (And either of you have always been able to get Plan B or Next Choice without a prescription, assuming she's not under 17. If so, insert that picture of that guy from that show here.) If either of you can't get them by 72 hours, she should get a prescription for ella. It's equally effective all 5 days you can take EC and would still reduce the risk by 85% up to 120 hours afterwards. 3. If she takes the pill she can take an accurate test 3 weeks after taking the pill, if she doesn't get her period before then. It can make her next period come much earlier or later than usual. If she doesn't take the pill she can test after a missed period or 3-4 weeks after sex. That's the only way she's going to know she's pregnant. Especially if she's convinced she's already pregnant a day after sex. 5. Plan B isn't an abortion. It helps to prevent pregnancy, like the birth control pill. 5a. Not directed at you: So any fetal-harm laws or whatever don't apply to it. However, there are laws about fucking with birth control that fall under the domestic abuse-type umbrellas. I don't know any specifics of them though. So, even though I know people were joking, it's still not a great idea to do that. 6. 7. And/or
I can't find the bit, but Doug Stanhope talked about getting his tubes tied and it was pretty damned priceless. I'm not as down for this due to some horrific image of swollen, infected testicles. Also, it does weird shit with your hormones that as a guy, I'm less capable of dealing with. Condoms work just fine for now.
I think you mean tampering with birth control. If it's just straight up fucking with BC, I'm just going to take myself straight to jail.
If I'm not getting to your tonsils through your cervix, I'm off my game. We were both on our sides. Way too tired for one of us to get up. Nothing aspirin, whiskey, some laughing gas, and Viagra can't fix.
Holy shit. I feel the need to share this. A local uni student died a few days ago, and there's a huge controversy over the coroner's suicide ruling. Anyway, someone posted a link to what's apparently his high school senior project blog or some shit. Amongst an article on sex in advertising: I feel like I did when I saw a stop-smoking ad featuring a life-long smoker's lungs, but infinitely more intense. Speaking of pregnancy, I was giving my brother crap for procrastinating a school project I was helping him with. I told him he was the kind of guy to wait until he was prairie dogging to head for the toilet, or to wait until he's watching his newborn's head pop out to throw on a condom. Also, how do you get pregnant? Isn't there research you have to do first, like whether you'll get free healthcare and schooling or (for males) if you have to marry yo baby momma to get the benefits? And once you have that all figured out, the daddy just pokes the mommy until he has a special sneeze right? Edit: Some of these ads are fucking amazing. Scroll down for the KY Strawberry one.
My husband's had a vasectomy. He said it wasn't so bad, more uncomfortable than painful, although one side was worse than the other. He had to sit with a bag of peas on his crotch afterwards. The doctor recommended it specifically because it forms around the testicles. The best part is when you get to take a sample in later to see if it worked. He worked with a guy who thought it would be a good idea to go back to work after his procedure. It ended up being too much, so he goes to his FEMALE boss and starts explaining his situation. She holds up a hand and says, "Stop. Just go." And while it is reversible, it is not 100 percent. So you better be sure. Edit: that picture creeps me out.
Aren't some pharmas working on a male pill? I imagine from a tech/research standpoint it'd be pretty hard to pull off, maybe thats why it hasn't been developed yet. But that begs the question, who here would take it if it was available?
They've been developing that for a decade. Doubt it will be at market any time soon. If the side-effects make men as volatile as some women, no thank you. Nothing is so charming as destroying every door in your house, just because, while vacillating between tears and inconsolable rage. I have a hard enough time not crying during The Notebook without a cocktail of extra hormones coursing through the bourbon in my veins. Did I say Notebook? I meant Brian's Song. That's the ticket, yeah.
Look at that dress! How can it be statutory rape if she's asking for it? (Feel free to delete this post or ban me or whatever.)
I understand that a male pill made it all the way to phase 3 trials (ie large trials required for the drug to get licensed) but it was pulled because it caused too much depression. I'm not sure how much is too much, but there you go. I kinda knew a guy who spent part of his master's working on some kind of male birth control pill. Something about inhibiting the acrosome, which I take to mean making it so the sperm cell can't penetrate the ova. Fancy stuff, but yes, the biology behind making men shoot blanks is much more complex than inhibiting ovulation in women.
There's actually a 100% effective nonhormonal and reversible male birth control method that lasts for up to 10 years that has recently started to be available in India. I think clinical trials for the U.S started last year.
