In a stunning revelation, a recent survey has exposed the deep divide among Aussie men when it comes to taking a male contraceptive pill being developed in the US. While some blokes are eager to take on the responsibility, others are hesitant, citing concerns over side effects, personal circumstances, and even moral objections.
Our cameras hit the streets of Sydney to gauge the mood, and the responses were as varied as they were revealing. One enthusiastic supporter declared, “The load should be shared. Yeah, but, like, voluntary.” Another argued for equality in contraceptive responsibility, stating, “If, like, females, I have to take one, why shouldn’t males?”
But not everyone was on board. Some men expressed hesitation about potential health impacts, with one admitting, “I don’t know, there might be something in them that makes me, you know, has a negative effect on me.” Others cited personal circumstances as reasons for not needing the medication, with one saying, “No, because I’ve had a vasectomy. We don’t need it. We’re past it.”
One man took a moral stance, stating, “No, I don’t think so. Because I believe people shouldn’t have sex until they get married.” His comments sparked a heated debate among passersby, with some defending his right to an opinion and others labelling it outdated.
