Effective Birth Control: “It’s Better To Have It And Not Need It Then Need It And Not Have It”

By Dave Trouson

A subject very near and dear to my heart is the subject of birth control in all its forms. Condoms are the oldest form of effective birth control (second only to abstinence of course), but of course there are many others, most of them for women. This seems to be a source of tension between the sexes as I have met many women who are displeased with the fact that most birth control methods place the responsibility on them. To this I say: what’s your point? I’ll admit it’s unfair, but there’s not much else we have to work with at the present time. We’ve been hearing talk of a male birth control pill for many years and it still isn’t here so we have to do the best with what we have. And hey, if and when that male pill comes out I’ll be first in line to get that sucker.

Single? What’s WRONG with Him?

by Craig Harper

One of the many interesting things about being a life-long, single male in his early forties is people’s reactions to that single-ness (yep, a word). Everyone has an opinion on it. Depending on the person’s thinking, it can place me anywhere on the scale from ‘complete social outcast’, to ‘coolest bloke on earth’ and ‘luckiest man alive’. And elicit responses ranging from pity and ridicule, to envy and admiration. Or in the case of my mother, complete devastation. My darling mum (mom) sees me essentially as a means to a grandchild and to be honest, I have been a bitter disappointment. Sure, she wants me happily married, but what she really wants… is that kid!! And yes, she lets me know it.
