Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No matter how good, convenient or easily usable birth control for men becomes

This is a strange thing to say, considering that contraception has never been more effective, more convenient, or more easily usable for men, than for women.

condoms are super convenient, what?

An object you have to physically carry around with you and have on your person in the moment every single time you have sex, versus things like:

a pill that, while needing to take it daily, leaves you protected at all times, you don't need it on hand at the time of the sexual encounter. And most pills aren't even that strict about what time you take it each day, as long as it's around the same time every day
a vaginal ring that only needs to be swapped out once a month (and can safely be removed for a few hours during sex itself without losing efficacy, if desired)
an injection that lasts 3 months
an arm implant that can last 5 years once inserted, depending on type
an IUD that can last for over a decade once inserted, depending on type

Condoms are far less convenient than any of these.

This is referencing ongoing research and efforts into developing male birth control, obviously. That's why I wuite clearly wrote "becomes" and not "is". That's a fufure tense, so the current or past state of affairs isn't exactly relevant, now is it ?
