Until men are the ones that get pregnant, there is NO WAY IN HELL that any contraceptive (other than rubbers) will ever be embraced by males.

Ohh and before female freepers bitch about that fact, just remember, you get the kids in a divorce.

Actually if they would just implant an ampule with a shock sensitive explosive (like nitroglycerin) in the scrotums of some men, I guarantee they won't reproduce.

The last thing Europeans need is more contraceptive unless they are going to be exclusively attached to the muslim population.

You sound like a very angry female.

Read my profile. I am just a smart alec, but realistic, 50 year old man, that realizes some "men" can't keep their zippers closed.

Sorry... I'm of the mind that thy've gotta spread their legs first before any male zippers cum into play....

I don't know about that.

A lot of young single men today really need a reliable contraception method they themselves can be in complete control of so that they can protect them from 18 years of child support.

According to Sports Illustrated, Larry Johnson of the Knicks is supporting five children by four women, including two he has with his wife, and Shawn Kemp of the Cavaliers, who is not married, has fathered seven children. Other NBA players who have been the subject of paternity-related lawsuits include Patrick Ewing, Juwan Howard, Scottie Pippen, Jason Kidd, Stephon Marbury, Hakeem Olajuwon and Gary Payton, as well as Larry Bird, who is now the coach of the Pacers, and current NBC game analyst Isiah Thomas.

Here ya go.... It's worked for me for 20 years.

Sometimes crude is the quickest path to truth.

Bill Clinton has just anounced he is going to move to Seattle later this year. "I can't wait to test this out!" he was quoted recently. "The 60's were fun, but this is too good to pass up".

[bikepacker67]

BTW, is it any cruder than an ampule of nitroglycerin injected into the scrotum? I don't think so.

Indeed, it does take two to tango....I'm going to ignore the pun. :-)

[Lorianne]

Cool !

[steveo]

Yeah you're correct on both counts but maybe you could have stated it without the 8th grade lunchroom lingo. I agree with your observation but I guess I just would have stated the same thing differently. That's all...

[bikepacker67]

Sorry I offended. Sometimes I just get plainspoken to a fault.

A $1.4-million US grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Now I'm thinking of applying for a US Grant. Maybe I could get 1.4 million to develop this birth control device.

How about an ultralight weight high tech chastity belt for my teenage daughter with built in parental digital locking controls and GPS electronic cellphone tampering notification plus a patented stun gun emergence penetration deterrent system.

Now that will stop unwanted teenage pregnancies.

When her date arrives at the door, I'll just take him aside and hand him this warning card.
