You ought to learn a thing or two about male anatomy, as blocking sperm from being ejected from the vas deferens would do very little to the actual ejaculate. There would still be a mess of protein and sugar, it just wouldn't have any swimmers. While the BBC article doesn't spell this out exactly, it is careful to have sentences such as "Scientists are working on a contraceptive treatment which would stop men ejaculating SPERM." which implies that sperm is all that is being stopped.

Are the devil. If your girl is on the pill and you pull-out, and of course you trust that she's not a filthy whore (which, in my opinion, you should be if you're going to be ballin her), you should be pretty ok. of course there are exceptions, welcome to the world, and condoms ain't foolproof either.

As for the sensation, I try to explain it to my partners this way "i would rather have you go down on me and i go down on you than have sex with a condom on" Two reasons: it feels like reading braile with mittens on, which is no fun for the guy, and, for the lady, it's like getting a sensual oil massage by somebody with mittens on. Not only will I not enjoy it, but she won't either. How am i supposed to work the g-spot if i can't even feel it? or those little internal twitches that tell you when she's rally feeling your stroke? No good, not for anyone. Hell, i'll strap one on if she wants to be blindly pounded with a rubber jawn, whatever, as long as she gets off. But, there's nothing better than the real thing in the right hands and i know any woman lucky enough to have a gracious partner that knows what he's doing will agree.

As for the money-shot, yes, partly it is about dominance and porno bravado, but mostly it's about acceptance. There is no warmer feeling of being loved and accepted in your heart than when your girl looks up at you with a pearl necklace and a big smile on her face. Well, maybe having a child or something like that, but I ain't there yet and I don't plan on getting there anytime soon.

...we like to read Broadsheet as well. Trying to tie some lame-assed quote to men about sensation is just bogus. I have never heard a woman say that intercourse is better with a condom, sensation-wise. And is there a swallowing "dilemma" ? (Which the AHD defines: A situation that requires a choice between two equal, usually unpleasant alternatives. Hmm...)And if a man was writing this column, how would women react if we were touting a BCM that relies on psychiatric meds for efficacy? I can almost hear the (well deserved) yells of protest. I think my lover and I, in mutual agreement, will stick with the ring, thank you.

Ms. Willis Aronowitz wrote, "...without the excuse of 'It just feels better without a condom, baby.'"

Actually, it does feel better without a condom. Put another way, in my experience, condoms dramatically decrease the pleasurable feelings of sex. Ms. W-A seems to feel that this is not important, that's in only measly excuse, and thus not something to take seriously.

Sorry, but attention to the feelings, both physical and emotional, of one's sexual partner is a two way street. I used condoms in the past when I had to, but not happily. It is much better having sex without one, and I'm glad that I'll never have to do so again.

That cat's out of the bag. Now we know who you are, even if you still don't have a clue.

are unwanted!

...depending on the side effects. I certainly don't need semen to indicate my prowess. I'd just as soon indicate it with a woman I've metaphorically sent into orbit.

I imagine male acceptance would rise fairly (or very) quickly once this thing gets more publicity. When demographers study unwanted pregnancies, are they taking into account pregnancies that only one partner wanted? Imagine if this pill gets produced in cheap generic form, all over the developing world. This could bring "The Eastern European Model" to much of the world, and that's a good thing!

When asked how many "unwanted children" he had fathered, Parson Jim replied:

"The answer is .....

Two, by the same woman. Although Harvard-educated, she refuses to work full time. And, oh yes, we share physical and legal custody 50%. It cost me about $90K in legal fees, and four years of litigation but was well worth it." -- Parson Jim

What kind of fucked up human publicly declares his children unwanted and then brags about how much it cost him to get to that place and how it was so "worth it." Anyone sense a little additional socio-economic status envy with the "Harvard" line, in addition to being a first-class asshole? Gee, she has a real education and doesn't work full time. He posts to Salon about 25 times a day, gleefully calls his children unwanted, and mose often than not simply bitches about women. Let's guess who is bitter, maladjusted, and uses his left hand when he needs a change of scenery.

Thanks for playing, Jimmy.

and are you telling me that there is NOTHING you have been able to figure out to do to convince the guy to keep doing SOMETHING to deal with the situation?

You are responsible for your own (clitoral) orgasm.

Be empowered.

Yes, women experience "blue balls". It's called pelvic flooding. It happens to us often enough when our male partners think that sex begins and end with 2 minutes of thrusting and their ejaculation with or without the face shot.

Anyway back on the topic. I say hurray as long as side effects aren't anything as bad as hormonal birth control. I have no problem with the idea of dry orgasm, it would save a lot of mess and we'd save trees without all of the tissues. And on laundry.
