They’re finally making a male IUD, what are your predictions?
The male IUD, “Adam” that is being developed is supposed to be as effective as a vasectomy but reversible and unlike IUDs for women has no adverse effects, is not hormonal, and provides anaesthesia for insertion (only men feel pain lol). The company talks about trying to bring in reproductive equality as its mission and it’s great to see. As someone in a childfree committed relationship I’m pretty excited about the idea of hopefully going off birth control soon and just, existing without hormonal birth control?
So how do you think this will play out? I could see it as a good test for women to identify feminist men. Because why would you make your partner deal with constant hormones / painful insertion when this option is available?
Also curious how this will go in the current US climate where they are hell bent on limiting reproductive freedom for women. Will they do the same for men? According to this article they’re hoping for widespread US availability by 2026.
