Should men share the cost of a pill? (poll)

Personally, I don't condone that behavior in the first place unless you are married. Accidents always happen and it could ruin your life. At that point, you will be miserable and since I'm against abortion I would say that you must keep the baby. So, I would say that if the woman agree's to sex, then she should foot the bill. Men should pay for their own end if they don't want a child.

note: Please keep this serious because I'm hoping to write a few page report on this.
 
Well, I am against using the pill...

But if I have to vote in this poll, I will choose 'yes'...

I'm a guy... sex is for both the male and female to enjoy (since they are using the pill, it's safe to assume they are not doing it for reproduction), and it's only fair for them to share the cost...
 
My girlfriend is against using the pill.. and I agree with her as well~.. so I won't have to worry about paying partially for the pill..

but then.. would she be partially responsible for the cost of the condom ? ?
 
If the couple is close enough to be in a serious relationship, then, yes. And women should share the cost of the movies, meals, and other dating events. 🙂

Equal opportunity and equal sharing makes a good relationship. 🙂
 
my girlfreind is on the pill.. and i dont help pay for it.
not that i wouldnt if she wanted me to though... . i'd gladly help pay for it.
 


<< okay can people who are against the pill, state why? i don't get it! >>



yes I'm curious as to why as well. If you don't use the pill, do you use condoms?
 


<< okay can people who are against the pill, state why? i don't get it! >>

my gripe with the pill is how can i trust something i can't see/touch or know that it is or will work.... hats for me

wouldn't it be better to have your girl use the pill *and* use condoms?

why?

as for the question... i don't see why not?

I don't really like the idea of ingesting hormones and chemicals. But I agree with sharing the cost, of course.
 
I honestly can't see how anyone would say no. I mean, I would not go out of my way to ask a man to pay -- but if he is not willing to be involved in the prevention or simply does not want to talk about it, then he can stick his weiner in someone else's holes (preferably inanimate).
 
The pill is not just for prevention of pregnancy..
It regulates a girls period.


I say they are responsible...unless a long term couple.
Alot of companies insurance covers birth control pills anyways.


Traditionally...
guys by some things.
girls by some things.
 
My girlfriend pays for her pills herself, but if she wanted me too, I'd pay for them. We share the cost of all kinds of other stuff. It's really not a big deal who pays for what.

What Harvey said.
 
I've noticed that a lot of the "yes's" have tippy toed right around that women splitting the cost of condoms thingy.

Makes me say.............Hmmmmmmm?

I think until she's married the woman should pay for her own and so should the guy.
That way when they're out screwing around on each other neither one will be financing the other's daliance.

If they both want to have fun then they should both be willing to pay for it, whether it be condoms or the pill.
Further, why are you assuming that these people are in non-committed relationships and/or likely to cheat?
 
well considering you can get the pill for like 5 bucks a month.. at the most!! my gf gets it for free with her insurance... you can get it at most colleges for like 5 bucks.. i know yo ucan get it at mine for 3.. then there are planned parenthood programs in most states tha twill offer it to girls for very cheap.. so hell.. i'd even pay for it if my gf didn't getit for free!

Some women complain that the pill makes them gain weight, and I've also heard of other interesting "emotional" side effects, so I can imagine that being reason to be against the pill. Also, if you're a Catholic Fundamentalist, you are obligated by the church to object to the Pill.

As I am not a religious fundamentalist, I fully support the use of the Pill, and have no problem sharing the cost, or even paying the full cost of its use.

Experience.

 
My g/f pays for the pill herself and I buy the condoms. Here at school, it costs $10 for a month supply of the pill, and $4.50 for 25 condoms.
