Yeah. I'm in bad reaction camp myself. Nasty vile reaction camp. Depo was the worst, and I didn't take it for BC reasons. Never again for any of them for me.

I love the pill. [Big Grin]

(There is some evidence coming out now that it might actually lower some cancer risks, if I recall correctly)

But that's not why I love the pill.

Yeah, there's some evidence of it raising risks of certain cancers and lowering risks for others. I haven't seen much definitive research on what it does, and so far as I know, the rate of cancer and heart disease hasn't increased dramatically since the pill was introduced.

And the benefits are pretty clear...

They will still should be great swimmers in powerful numbers, which should be nice for the male ego.

Still confused by guys who take this sort of thing seriously. If I have to have a gauge to judge my masculinity in the bedroom, shouldn't it be the level of enjoyment my partner experiences? In that regard it's immaterial whether or not I produce anything at all.
Of course, this atttitude works best with a partner who feels the same way in reverse [Smile]

Don't understand guys who won't use condoms, don't understand guys who won't touch any pastel-colored packages in the "feminine care" aisle, don't understand guys who pride themselves on their wigglers. Don't understand most guys, come to that.

Most of them aren't pastel colored anymore. Bright pinks, teals, and blues are much more commen, I think.

I'm one of the few I've ever met for whom the pill actually made things worse, period wise. I was regular, like clockwork; I knew the exact day, and usually time of day. Now, though, it's any time within a week time frame (sometimes early, sometimes late, who knows?). The only good thing is no more cramps, but those weren't that bad to begin with.

Chris, I am delighted to live in a world that can support (at least in a loose sense [Wink] ) you and Dana. If it couldn't, I'd start looking for another.

Hmm...

So now I know where all those pastel packages are coming from.

No! I mean, you are Chris are two of my role models of sane, sensible, thoughtful living.

Separately.

Living separately.

And totally not in the same bed, or anything.

And I like Bob, too. He's the model of insane, sensible, thoughtful living.

That whole pun thing, you know.

Chris, I don't understand it either. It came up about a year ago on a thread about vasectomies and the guys who said they really, really didn't like the idea *because* of the fact that it stops the sperm altogether.

Porter is squicked by vasectomy because it involves sharp objects coming at his privates. [Wink]

Obviously I wouldn't advise anyone to do it unless they were absolutely certain that was the best way. But hey, if he was a real man he knows his privates scoff at mere cutting implements...

CT - there are a lot of things I don't understand about how many women think, either, I just don't feel as qualified to speak on that [Smile]
