And every time male birth control does make it to trials, guys tap out the second they get a mood swing or a cramp.
This is false, it’s based on a single study and twists facts. Some participants dropped out because of side effects, but those not dropping out said they would actually continue using the pill if it were available. The study was stopped because one participant tried to kill himself.
No it wasn’t just one study. The 2016 WHO trial is just the one that got the headlines because it made for a catchy story. There were several other male birth control studies going back to the 80s and 90s where men dropped out because they didn’t want to deal with the side effects. Things like acne mood swings and injection pain.
In the WHO study around twenty out of three hundred twenty men quit over side effects. Earlier trials saw the same thing a few percent tapping out for the same reasons.
So no it wasn’t some isolated case. It’s been a recurring theme across decades of research. The numbers are small but it’s there. Pretending otherwise just tells me you stopped reading after the first article title.
If you did a trial for a new pill for women you bet there will be some who will drop out because of side effects like acne or mood swings, that’s expected to some degree. The thing with that trial for the male pill is, that people always twist it into sounding like the study was cancelled because of some people dropping out over these side effects, but it wasn’t.

A fee percent is quite different from what you said earlier. Basically any trial has a few percent drop out.
