“Non-hormonal is important, the researchers say, because some conventional male contraceptives that rely on disrupting production of the male hormone testosterone can cause side effects such as mood swings, acne and irritability.”
What do you know? Men can have PMS too! Good thing we’re being super careful when it comes to developing a male birth control pill though!
But I still think that shot is the best option.

A look at those tiny, oddly shaped objects that sometimes appear in your vision.
Just found out yesterday that I have a lot of these. The optometrist literally kept saying “You have so many floaters. Did you know you have so many floaters? I’m surprised you didn’t notice those floaters.”
Great. Now I’m paranoid (but I’m always paranoid so just more so).

I heard about this a while ago, but I guess it’s still working with no side effects. Almost everyone I asked gets icked out at first (needle down there? nuh-uh), but when they realize they never have to worry about it again for 10 years, it doesn’t seem so bad. Plus, as one informant noted, female birth control pills lower sex drive, so this shot is more win-win for everybody.

Older Folk on Facebook
I’ve got a distant relative who’s my second-cousin’s aunt (yea, I have no idea what to call that either) and she’s been typing LIKE THIS FOR SOME REASON AND I COULDN’T FIGURE IT OUT, BUT THE SHOUTING IN MY HEAD MADE READING HER TEXTS PAINFUL.
Thankfully, she’s typing normally now and I can only assume she’s finally unhinged the caps lock button. And it makes reading so much nicer.

are you going to the beatles: the lost concert" movie when it comes out next month?
How exciting, an actual question!
Sorry to say I’m not a huge fan of The Beatles. They have some catchy songs, but I can’t say that I have enough of an interest to go see a movie about them.
Other questions? Ask!
