Q: Hormones

asked by: Irishheart on December 9th, 2003

I recently lost a bet with three women that I work with.To make a very long story short I must do whatever they demand for one month, even signing a contract to that extent. One of the things they've told me to do is take female birth-control pills for the duration of the month, and they've supplied me with a package. Here's my problem:

i've heard all kinds of horror stories about men taking female hormones ranging from huge breasts to simply getting "mood swings". I'm a married man, my wife is unaware of this bet due to some rather embarrasing feminine things i've had to do. I don't want to start acquiring a woman's bodily shape, and I don't want to start sounding like a girl. Icertainly don't want to lose the use of my penis. What will one month of this do to me? If the worst is increased emotional sensitivity and a "desire to cuddle" I can live with that.

I would suggest looking into this further. I havent heard anything but I know its not made for a man. So let these women know you will not be taking them, but to make you do something else. I suggest you stop making bets with women. And if you decide to take them, let your wife know. Dont keep secrets

I agree nikki, what are these "demands" that they are making you do? Be honest with your spouse or it could leed to big problems! I have no idea about a man taking female birth control, honestly it sounds very immature to make someone do.

I may be wrong, but I have heard that birth control pills actually have a higher degree of male hormones in them.
Can anyone confirm or refute that?
If that's the case, bring those ladies on!!!

Yeah, this bet sounds very immature. Plus, b/c is not made for men. Maybe it wont have any effect on you at all, but there is no point in taking the chance. I am sure these ladies will understand that. Maybe offer to wear a pair of pink thongs on your head or something.

Red Clover

I have also experienced the same symptons as lost a bet over a discussion involving red clover I have been taking for two weeks as my bet was only 1 month which has now stopped - thus starting to grow breast tissue due to time taken can I reverse this?
