[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (18 children) I feel like i could never trust this even if i was on it. permalink fedilink source hideshow 18 child comments replies: [–] oce@jlai.lu [S] 18 points 1 year ago (7 children) Would you trust it less than the female birth control pills? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (6 children) No. But I also dont trust female birth control pills. I'm vaguely aware of the side effects and hormonal shifts, and I don't think I want that in my life. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] oce@jlai.lu [S] 4 points 1 year ago The big point of this one is that it is not hormonal, and so far this study shows no side effects. So for a couple, it could be the pill with least side effects overall. permalink fedilink source parent [–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (4 children) of course nothing is 100% effective, not even condoms. consider each an additional layer of security. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago So i should triple wrap? permalink fedilink source parent [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children) Sure, but is the additional security worth the sides? I could wear a medieval suit of armor around all day to be safer, but it would be extremely inconvenient. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) That's the nice thing about having more contraceptive options on the market, you are more likely to find an option with minimal side effects for you and/or your partner. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago I cant argue with this point permalink fedilink source parent [–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (9 children) Good! You shouldn't. If you're trying to not have children, you should be on birth control, or partner should be in birth control, and you should use condoms. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (8 children) I've been there done that, lol. I'm old and already did the contraception and condoms long ago. Have 2 children now, do not want more. It sounds like a nice alternative to snipping, but I just can't trust it. We are fine, and im sure menopause is not far away for her. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (3 children) It sounds like a nice alternative to snipping, Don't fear the snip. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] oce@jlai.lu [S] 4 points 1 year ago* (1 child) I think it's mostly a matter of being quasi irreversible rather than fear of surgery. That's a huge decision to take if you don't have children. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago True. AFAIK the procedure itself is irreversible, but you can still have kids with in vitro if you dumb your mind. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (1 reply) [–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (3 children) Don’t fear the snip. Mine was almost entirely painless and it’s really nice to have one less thing to worry about. Only side effect is now my right testicle dangles lower than my left. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children) Agreed. I was hoping for vasalgel work out, got tired of waiting, and got the snip. There's lots of anecdotal evidence that orgasms are actually better afterwards. I tend to agree, but it's something that's easy hard to study properly. Edit: god, that was bad wording. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I think the orgasms are better because you don’t have the worry of pregnancy permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 year ago I dunno, I get better orgasms when jerking off, too.
