Almost a year since I had mine done, my wife and I both enjoy it.

It wasn’t that bad. And I’m glad I did it. No more kids.
Isn't there a risk from ball pain?
Like forever not for healing.
I think there is a slight risk of that, not sure. Not something to cheap out on, go for the best doctor you can
I come from a first world country so I don't think I would be paying or choosing a doctor.
Lucky 😩
I was worried about it hurting, and I'll be honest I could have done it over a lunch break at work. Almost zero pain, and my wife watched the surgery, which didn't even last as long as one Metallica song.
What I'm on about is a long term pain.
Something more like blue balls
It's been almost a year, and i feel completely normal. Zero pain.
I’ll take the ball bath over fucking with my hormones any day of the week. I saw what they did to women
I saw what they did to women
Part of it is that women are currently using it and taking on all of the risks/consequences from it. Some couples would like the ability to transfer the risk to the other partner (different couples will have different reasons for their choice).
Another thing to note is that regulatory agencies are more strict now than back when there was a focus on birth control for women. Like that thing with alcohol would be banned if it was "invented" today. If a male pill IS approved, it would likely be a lot safer than what women are taking now.
Idk about this specific trial, I'm speaking generally
I share sentiments with tessellecta - not so sure we looked at all the features when comparing apples to oranges
I'm not sure if this is the same one I read about before (YCT529) the article doesn't seem to mention it be name. If it is I would be very wary of side effects, being a retinoic acid receptor antagonist it's basically doing the opposite of tretinoin.
