Hombres: dispuestos a usar métodos hormonales anticonceptivos

La revista TIME publica un interesante artículo acerca de la inexistencia del mercado para métodos anticonceptivos hormonales masculinos. Fundando en ella la razón para frenar las investigaciones farmaceúticas.

Según el artículo no habría demanda porque los hombres no están interesados o porque las mujeres no confiaríamos en los hombres.

Yo no creo que esto sea cierto. Hoy en día la responsabilidad de un embarazo es entendida como una cuestión compartida. Por qué tenemos que ser nosotras siempre las responsables?

Un hombre moderno: Durwin Foster, 40, a happily married father of three in North Vancouver who has long been dissatisfied with his lack of birth control options. He says condoms are a hassle and reduce pleasure. For men who want to at some point be fathers, however, the next best alternative — the oft-irreversible vasectomy — is hardly a more appealing option. "My wife has never been that comfortable with the Pill, so it would be nice to have some other options on my end," says Foster. "Something we could take turns with." For now, however, male hormonal contraceptives perpetually remain five to 10 years away. And Durwin Foster wasn't willing to wait. He got a vasectomy in January. It was the only option he had left.

Y tú qué dices?
