rubbed a clear gel on his shoulders, waited for it to dry, then went about his day as usual
Blimey that's a surprise innit. His shoulders??
I mean this is just "sperm suppression", of course it lowers the risk of pregnancy considerably, but not 100%. I'll still get my tubes snipped at this point. As a guy you simply don't have a lot of options if you want to be safe. Condoms and vasectomy, that's it. And condoms can fail too if you're unlucky.
As soon as the girl is pregnant all you can do is pray she doesn't decide to keep the kid :-/
Why are we still fucking around with hormones when male birth controls like RISUG already exist??
Last I checked that was dangerpus for peoples kidneys right?
I've never heard that before. The only thing I knew was that it didn't get much traction in India because men weren't interested. If you have an article or something, I'd be interested in reading about it. RISUG is in some sort of testing in USA right now under the name Vasalgel, but as far as I know it's the same thing
Why do they always use the phrase "safe and effective". Almost as if they are programming people by repeating the same phrase everywhere....
Nah, it's almost as if proving a treatment is "safe and effective" is the entire purpose of a phase ii clinical trial.
If you want pharmaceutical conspiracies to chase, follow the money. The point at which they are trying to "program" you is when the drug hits the market and commercials come out. It's not that these products are ineffective at this point, just that they will do just about anything to capitalize on them.
Pharmaceutical companies are by no means clean and trustworthy, but your conspiracy is literally just a description of marketing and advertising, which I agree is a plague upon our society.
There are things that are safe but not effective.
There are things that are effective but not safe.
There are things that are neither safe nor effective.
For example: There was some drug to stop morning sickness (im lazy and not going to look up the drug's name) that was really effective but absolutely turned out to not be safe as it caused all sorts of birth defects in the developing fetus.
