Why would men not be willing to take the male contraceptive pill?

I'm a pharmacy student, and during a recent class we were discussing the possibility of the male contraceptive pill. My professor asked the males in the class if they would, to my surprise only 1/3 put their hands up. Please keep in mind you can still ejaculate, but what else would make it emasculating? Just trying to understand.

they tried it... but had to stop the trials because the test subjects couldn't cope with the side effects (which is laughable because the effects were pretty much what women deal with every month)

Because they don’t want to take responsibility for not creating children. Because it’s not them who is screwed with a 9 month pregnancy- pregnancy complications and being a parent and taking care of a kid for 18+ years, the number of fatherless children in this country is staggering.

@WindOfAdolf That's actually one of the lest effective methods. Pull out was like 61% from memory, condom was 88% mostly from breakages, but it's the only one that protects from STDs.

Where did you come to the conclusion that they felt it was emasculating? Was there a comparison to other forms of male contraception? As in, they preferred condoms or what?

@Tatsumi I came up with that because it was the only reason I could think of, if you have other reasons please do say them. There was no comparison, though condoms should always be used if it is not known if the partner is STD safe.

I don't understand why most men wouldn't other than just laziness and stupidity. I would not have a problem taking a contraceptive pill if I had any interest in sex. I think it is a good thing to have a male contraceptive pill.

What if it made me become permanently sterile? That would be emasculating.

I doubt it, honestly. It could also be used as a tool of population control unknowingly to the mass population like Kellogg’s was back in the 80’s

@Socialclutz Kelloggs' did that? To be honest though I'd still be all for it. I personally feel the less people in the world would help climate change. Our population growth isn't cyclic like many other species we force the world to adapt to us rather then the other way around.

I believe it was Kellogg’s cereal. No I disagree, ppl can have a positive effect on the land. I don’t subscribe to the warming climate change theology bit.

I am sure the results are because they don't know enough about the pill and any side effects and are simply reacting out of fear of something new.

@Longpatrol90 It's not, it's similar to the female, it is reversible. And you can actually undo a vasectomy, well a certain type anyway.

@Longpatrol90 that is a very rare side effect, and that side effect is something women already put up with.

Therein lies the problem with young men and their perception of who has the responsibility for ensuring safe sex.
Sad really.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters I can't remember of the top of my head as it was not the focus. But I believe they govern it via testosterone and FSH levels. So, you may have increased hair growth, headache, acne etc. Nothing too serious.
