How can those things be safe for you in the long run, though? They make it so that more blood flows into your penis and blocks it from leaving for a long period of time. It just doesn't seem safe.

I do not know, but I am tired of masterbating with tweezers



Lest people accept that as true, it was hyperbole

This is complete and utter crap. It should be illegal. I totally agree with DeeGe in that no one cares about the children that are born who are unwanted. They can starve, be abused, whatever. But heaven forbid we prevent an egg from fertilizing.

That was how it was in New Mexico ( a place that NEEDS cheap birth control so badly) but here in NY the co-pay for b/c pills is only $5!

the fact that i can't understand the american way, is it coz i'm
a. stupid
b.high
c. it's not me who's not okay
anyway, birth control pills are being subsedized here by any health insurence, including the most basic/mandatory ones, in fact, they are so cheap, that i know of some dogs and cats owners who give them to their pets instead of getting them neutered

It was only $5 not too long ago but it went up! Ugh. I wonder what the co pay on Viagra is? Maybe I should try to get a 'script.

I've had to pay as much as $20 a month for mine, as my insurance co-pay! And there for awhile, they weren't covered at all--which meant that I had to spend $30 to $35 a month for them! Women really started to raise hell when we found out that they covered Viagra but not Birth Control pills and some of the insurance companies reluctantly began to cover them too.

I remember insurance companies trying to get away with this. It's unbelievable. These medications aren't even "expensive". IF THEY WERE FOR MEN THEY WOULD BE FREE!!!!

My co-pay was always $15- I finally started going to Planned Parenthood, where the cost of the exam and monthly supply (also $15/month, for any method- ring, pill, etc.) was cheaper than it was for me to go through my insurance.

I thought reading about this happening with the morning after pill was disgusting... this is on a whole other level. Just obscene.

I'd raise hell too...I was shocked to find out that the pill wasn't covered at all by my old insurance - unless used for something other than birth control....good thing I was using it for something else otherwise I couldn't have afforded it... (perhaps tmi )
