Yeah!!!!

I showed it to my boyfriend and he replied he'll wait for the pills. Apparently the boy has issues with needles. :) This is just the opposite of me, where I've got a tattoo and get allergy shots at least once a week. *shrug* Doesn't make me think twice at all anymore.

Oh well, my luck by the time it comes around I would be in a time and place in my life we're I'd be WANTING to get pregnant.

Well, women of the future can definitely look forward to it!

any idea when the actual shot will be available to men in the US?

I wish I knew. I think FDA approval takes 2 years, so I'd imagine probably 3 years from now or so.

While I wish it was sooner, it's still a whole lot sooner than when there wasn't one of these at all.

until then, there's always vasectomy! :)

I'd want to read more about this. Everything else I've read over the last couple of years has talked about sexual side effects and mood side effects. I'd want to know why this form of b/c wouldn't have those effects. That being said, I was talking with my bf the other night about male b/c, and he said that even with various side effects, he'd consider them. I'm happy with my current form of b/c, but if we do go poly again (or if we break-up), he'd be considering it. Yay!
