    Article reads like it was written by a friend of his, and still makes him seem like a complete crank.

    Doubt you'd be keen on mandatory contraceptive implants for young women yet want to force a procedure that isn't proven effective or safe on young men, sexist much?

    STDs would go through the roof as well if condom use (such as it is) was abandoned

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    Forcing contraceptives is a mad idea. But publicising them and changing the social norms around men and women (and adolescents) using them would be good. Plus improving the treatments to reduce side effects would help.

    STIs are a fair point. The older population had a big increase in STIs in the last few decades. Particularly since online dating. Once they don't need condoms to prevent pregnancy, the rate of condom use goes down and STIs go up.

    "The pill" for men are about as good and have similar side effects as the women's versions. It's a bit wild that only women use them and almost no men use them. It's something to consider.

    I've no time for eugenics, just want people with penises to have the best possible contraception.

    RISUG has zero side effects and has been used in India for over a decade, but getting it tested and licensed for the 'Western' countries has been slow cos it's a one and done for 10 years and pharma companies make more money on monthly prescriptions.

    It used to be that most sti were curable, take some pills and eventually it will clear up, and then HIV/AIDS happened, but with prep and post exposure treatments, we could be looking at hiv/aids getting wiped out in countries over the next 20 years. Esp as prep is now a 6 month injection. But prep needs to be an option for everyone who needs it, not just men who have sex with men.

    Proper sti education is deffo needed and but at least the free national testing is being done.
