Keen.

I was looking around on the Planned Parenthood of Western Washington site. (I needed to find a phone number so I could make an appointment.) In the fall they are going to have a patch for birth control. Put it on once a week and you're set, live the nicotine patches.

Sign me up. I am so there. I don't want to get the shots because not having a period at all, I think, would kind of freak me out (and has in the past due to birth control), but this sounds like a good deal.

I wonder if they'll have a male equivilent at some point.

From what I've seen of the male shots they aren't a terribly attractive alternative. (The one time I saw a show with someone taking one the guy hobbled around 2 days after each shot to the leg. *wince*)

I think it'd be nice to alleviate the burden of contraception for women.

Well, U of W was working on something. I heard about a pill they were working on sometime last year. I have no idea what happened to it, though.

Huh.
I haven't heard much at all in recent times. People seem to be happy to saddle the problem on women for the most part. >=T
