rubbed a clear gel on his shoulders, waited for it to dry, then went about his day as usual
Blimey that's a surprise innit. His shoulders??
I must be doing it wrong
Edit: "In this issue of Cosmo: Ladies, Your Man's Biggest Erogenous Zones are Actually His Shoulders"
I mean what do you have sex with
I mean it's not that much of a surprise, it's called a reproductive system for a reason. At least, it makes about as much sense as taking a pill by mouth to affect the functions of the uterus.
Same reason the birth control patch for women can be placed anywhere, below the belt just being the easiest to conceal (though too close to the groin has been known to cause cramping).
It's like how some people load a dishwasher, it doesn't really matter where you put stuff cause the hormones just go all over in there.
This is great, I'd get this in a heartbeat.
I mean this is just "sperm suppression", of course it lowers the risk of pregnancy considerably, but not 100%. I'll still get my tubes snipped at this point. As a guy you simply don't have a lot of options if you want to be safe. Condoms and vasectomy, that's it. And condoms can fail too if you're unlucky.
As soon as the girl is pregnant all you can do is pray she doesn't decide to keep the kid :-/
I got a vasectomy and it was crazy easy. Had a meeting with my doc just so he could make sure I knew it was permanent, I asked if I could have something extra for the pain and dude was like "I can give you vallium is that alright?" Showed up day of, took like 30 mins and didn't feel a thing. Only thing was the smell of burning flesh was a little much but that was literally it.
My partner wants some form of permanent BC herself but literally no doctor will allow it.
With so many fucking people on the planet, you would think doctors would be stoked to sterilize as many people as they can.
I think they are worried about liability, if I had to guess.
Not if they want pensions.
Threaten to do it yourself if they won't do it for you. Lol
Or pray she cheated.
