LOL. we all suffer unpleasant side-effects from hormonal messing, it's just that some are worse than others and some don't make the connection, and some side-effects take years to manifest. That's what I said it was a shame that the male version was hormonal.

The chances of me trusting a partner to totally take care of contraception are zero. I have no idea how men manage to do so (as many appear to).

It doesn't seem wise to trust one's own subconscious either, thus IUD.

Possibly because women are even more invested in making sure they don't get pregnant?

*hollow laugh* she may not intentionally be lying (see note about not trusting own subconscious).

by which I mean that refusing to reproduce is HARD. Your body will do things "of itself", make you forget, make you think "ach it'll be OK, make you take risks.

and also, you may be a fantastic judge of character - but *I* wouldnt' bet the course of my own life on it. Which it just as much is for men as women..
