Re:
This confirms what I'd already known...the pill is bad business.
Here's the pluses:
- makes possible the practice of unprotected sex. caveat, if a woman is on antibiotics, it nullifies the Pill. many women forget or don't know this. moreover, the pill doesn't prevent disease, rather it encourages it b/c many people are walking stds that are hidden.
- regulates her period. some women complain that were it not for the pill, she'd have the "worst" period and cramps ever. however, were it no for modern medicine, she would suffer or deal with this AS NATURE INTENDED. i haven't taken a pill to get rid of my non-used nipples? or a pill to diminish all the boners I had when writing on the chalk board? the pills it the perfect example of science trying to control nature with MORE negatives than positives.
Here's the minuses:
- weight gain. skinny girls get a butt and boobs. girls with butts and boobs get fat. all women have an easier chance of gaining weight, and IF they get prego shortly after stopping the pill or while on it, it's nigh impossible to DROP the weight unless she becomes Susan Somers of working out. yeah, you may not have to use a condomn with your girl, but its damn sure guaranteed she was her skinniest the day you met her, and that's IT.
**Consider this: Just being fat means you have more estrogen in your body, preventing the simple loss of fat. Couple that with women SUPPRESSING testosterone (what little they have) and supplementing their already topped off supply of estrogen and you have a walking pool of Estrogen and potential Fat stores. It's negatives all around. Girls who lose weight aren't LOSING FAT, they're losing muscle, plain and simple. The pill fakes the body out and makes it seem prego, and when you're really prego? WHOA. Amerika's Hotties will soon be Amerika's NOTTIES.
- loss of sex drive. Estrogen is not key in sex drive motivation. Testosterone is. You can trace this through history. Women have a scant amount of testosterone that only slightly rises as they age because Estrogen declines near menopause. Most women who exhibit masculine traits and actions have a greater amount of testosterone than most women, but nothing near what the average male SHOULD have. There will be some women in whom this may not be as great...but think of what your girl would be like if she didn't have ANYTHING inhibiting her hormonal levels? What kind of freak would she be then?
-Hyper-active emotions. No doubt, the excessive moodiness and emotional nature of women we deal with day in and day out is due to this fact. You add in the fact teenage girls take this stuff, hormones in their foods since birth, and they're hitting puberty younger and you have ticking emotional timebombs on your hands full of irrational actions and thoughts. No wonder men today can't cope...there's no SET point of normalcy. Boys/men today don't know women any different than we do in Amerika (I use that spelling thanks Rammstein -- love that song). When a woman blasts out, cries, is upset, or has any "whims"...what is it? The Pill? Societal Influence? Hormones from milk? Feminism? Is it her? We don't know.
I find the negatives worse, only because there's at least 3, but because the depth of their impact is unending and immeasurable. BEING on the pill is very temporary, and while using condoms reduces sex down to banging plastic, its still better than being a pre mature father or subjecting our ladies to the aforementioned fate of hormonal hades.
My gf is no longer on it. She's been off for well over a year. Some might call that crazy, but even while she was on it, I was very careful with my activities. I didn't want children, and the risk was on me now. Plus I had to trust ALOT of factors...her taking it religiously, the drug companies not making 1 defect, the pill not-interacting with any other substances, her not sabotaging me or trapping me, etc, etc. I don't like those odds. And for guys proclaiming "I don't want kids, wouldn't marry her, or I'm not ready," You're dumb. You're trusting a woman and all those factors? You take ALL the control OUT of your hands and put it into her's when you trust a woman and the pill. You dropped the seed in her bucket o'life, and left it up to god, the pill, and a lady. In a way, you made a committment. You committed to blasting life sludge into her, and when the protective defenses failed, you'll bail, or not do the right thing? You can't "play house" and have your cake, too. As much as we men would like to believe. And those doing so are just being lucky. I've hade MORE than my fair share of friends have accidents OR be conned by women into becoming a premature father and husband.
The pill is bad business.
