I'd like to know how many women would actually believe a man who said, "I've had the shot." Probably wouldn't be an issue in a committed long term relationship, but there's a lot of casual sex going on out there.


moot point indeed Dexter what proof would there be.? a small red mark hrmm :?:

Right, I hope. lol
Kinda disappointed no-one even loled at my joke about marsbars n soft cups. :( We both use non-invasive methods.

I have to ask though... what's considered non-invasive? When I read that it struck me that you must be talking surgery, because what the doc did to me two weeks ago is WAY less invasive than what the pill does to me... lol. This made me suspect that different people have different views on it.

People are such babies about injections. I've used injectable birth control for years. It's the best thing!!! I can't say I'd trust a man to be in charge of the birth control, but I'm happy it will give them the same option I have.

I'll bet there are all kinds of unforseen health consequences. Fooling around with hormome levels usually ends up wreaking havock on the immune system, so beware. Frankly if you are in a secure, monogamous relationship.. natural birth control, also known as the rhythm method, if done properly, is as effective as synthetic alternatives. A woman is fertile for something like 100 to 120 hours of the 700 in her cycle, and a little abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.

If you're playing the field, well no birth control is fool proof from pregnancy or disease

I don't think that's true. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to seven days (that's 168 hours), the egg lives only about a day if it's unfertilized, which means a woman is actually impregnable for only about 24 hours. The trick is knowing when that 24 hours occurs. You've got to be able to predict it 7 days in advance, every cycle is different, even in the same woman, and many women shed more than one egg at different points in their cycle. Even with perfect use of the rhythm method, the odds are about 1 in 10 against you, while synthetic methods readily give odds of much less than 1 in 100.

People who rely on the rhythm method are called parents.
