    If those scientists are male they need to have their man cards revoked.

    That's some other pill. This pill has no side effects. So you can bust in her and not worry about having a problem in nine months.

    No it doesn't. It also doesn't improve your reading comprehension.

    Only an idiot would have unprotected casual sex, especially a pro athlete with a bimbo.

    If those dudes weren't smart enough to wrap it up, they're probably not smart enough to take the pill.

    If this really works then it's an incredible breakthrough. Yeah STDs may increase because of irresponsible guys (and girls), but this should really cutdown on unwanted pregnancies. They won't have the "but I can't feel anything with this on" excuse...yeah, now they can have all the herpes and crap they want...at least they won't bring a child into a potentially bad situation. I bet condom manufactures are hoping this doesn't happen b/c they're definitely going to take a hit in sales...or if they're smart they'll start producing them.

    Sign me up... since my wife's been on the pill, her sex drive has tailed off at least 20%. I have to take a pill every morning for my acid reflux anyway, so I'm used to it. I would love a non-surgical way to "shoot blanks."

    sorry im a ****ing idiot.

    either way, 3 years might as well be a lifetime away in drug development. human trials haven't even started yet.

    i'd be curious to see what company gets their hands on this pill if it does show promise and how much it would cost since it would be used infrequently.

    No no no. You're a random idiot.

    Regarding the article, I can tell you from experience that this is MAJORLY preferable to the surgical method.

    1. Seriously - May give some false positives in professional athletes.
    2. I generally don't like messing with that area too much. I figure I would wait for 5 yrs and make sure there are no long term affects before I even entertain the idea

    you made the mistake that i did.

    the current pill uses hormones.

    the new pill being developed would knock out a protein required to conceive.

    Still skeptical. :p
    What if there is a hidden side effect that say, numbs your penis to the point of feeling nothing? Or turns you into a vampire! I mean those scientists in I Am Legend thought that they found a cure for cancer, but instead they turned everyone into vampires!
