Hey, I'd gladly do it if it were available to me. Most of the drugs women take kills their sex drive. I'd gladly take it so we can both have a high sex drive. The fact is though, that a morning after pill for me won't accomplish much.

Got a pill I can take the day after? If it causes me to take on water and be emotional for a couple of days, I'll happily take it if it prevents an unwanted pregnancy.

Yep. As soon as that is available and has been shown to be safe for a year or two in use for the general population, I'll jump in and take it.

if they had male preventives i would use one in a heart beat. my GF just started on BC a week ago and it's hard for her to remember every day to take it at the same time. i set an alarm on her phone though so she will remember to take it when it goes off.

does it really matter if you take it at the EXACT same time every day? like what happens if you forget and take it like 10 minutes late? or an hour late?

she should be on the patch if she can't remember one pill/day.

she should take it at the same time/day, but i don't think an hour difference will matter.

Ten minutes wouldn't matter. One hour probably won't matter in many cases. In the worse case scenario, just don't have unprotected sex for a few days if she royally goofs up.

yah okay i'm just new to the whole pill thing. you have to wait like a month from when the girl starts taking the pill for it to be fully working right?

At least a month. Two months to be the most safe. Her doctor should have told her all this information. And the pills should come with a sheet that tells you all that you have been asking.

I think both people in the relationship should know the rules of the pill. Both should take the responsibility too. That is, remind her to take it if needed, and don't pressure her for sex for a few days if she ever goofs.

Why? Because, according to your beliefs, children are God's righteous punishment against women who engage in immoral sexual activities?

I think this would be very beneficial to young people in general. Kids usually will have sex on a weekend--Friday and Saturday night. And sometimes Planned Parenthood and other family planning facilites aren't open on those days and the ones that are open are inconvenient for kids to get to. This way, they will be able to get what they need without worrying about it being "too late". Of course the obvious solution to all problems is to not have sex... but some people can't control their actions as well as others, hence this would be very beneficial.
