Airing out personal and political issues with the pill

which i don't have to pay for

yay.

Cult of Craft said...: I'm with you miss. I'd take "male birth control" if they had it. That's really cool that your job pays for it too.; 11:09 PM
trine said...: i agree wholeheartedly. I've been chewing these things for years and i wonder what the long term effects will turn out to be.
short term -
1. weight gain (yeah it sucks! it sucks MORE because by the time you get OFF the pill again, which usually is like years later, there is NO WAY you can return to whatever weight you started out at those million years later!),
2. initial drop in libido (might have been due to the guy i was seeing (not wanting to see anymore!) at the time - this is like a million years ago!)
OK that's all i can think of, but with this many exclamation marks in one comment, this will probably be blocked as span anyway! ;-)

B said...: I love this video!!! I did one about using birth control pills to skip your period a while back (for convenience and also for medical reasons).

The fact that your pill has a name is hysterical. And the male pill is so overdue...a good friend wrote his undergrad thesis about the male pill and why it doesn't exist. Basically, he found, people just suck. There isn't really a better, more concise explanation. Maybe I should vlog about that...condoms and vasectomy are really not comparable with popping a pill.; 2:04 PM
