This idea might have more use if you're in a long term relationship, same as with the female version. For one thing, why are you going to go through the hassle of taking the things regularly when you're not actually getting any in the first place. I know very few men who would take this pill on the off chance, and very few women who would believe otherwise. But maybe thats just me.
Yes I agree [img]smile.gif[/img] . If it's like the female version, then the rate of success is only relevant if you take it every day, even at the same time every day. A woman has extra motivation as it regulates her cycle as well, in fact for a lot of women its contraceptive qualities is a bonus rather than the impetus for taking it. I can't see many men being so diligent about taking it. What would be more useful would be the male version of the contraceptive injection rather than the pill. Even so, I can't really see that it would be useful for casual sex - not many women would want to be so trusting, plus of course the lack of disease prevention means you'd have to wear a condom anyway - why bother?
