Having your girlfriend use birth control pills isn't really that much better... perfect use of birth control pills has under 1% failure rate per year, but that's just theoretical since there can be lapses in daily use of birth control. Typical use failure is a little over 3%. Still better than those condom figures though.

Pharmaceutical companies are working hard on getting a male birth control pill underway -- most of the options revolve around mucking around with the production of a unique protein that is used to form the sperm's tail. That way it doesn't screw up anything else in your body, and it's reversible a few weeks after stopping. I can see that being -extremely- popular.

I think once that comes out, sexually active guys will be combining the male contraceptive (which could be combined with regular supplements) with condom use, or in a long-term relationship, both partners using birth control.
