Richard, the female pill has a wide range of side effects.
Would a male pill that was hormonal be expected to have the same side effects or a similar side effect profile?
Is that what's been found in the trials?
What about things like acne and body fat distribution and things like that?
Richard, that's incredibly helpful.
One question we always ask our experts on WhatsApp Docs is how your work has impacted your life.
Thanks so much.
Chris, I think the great thing about this as a topic is that it feels like there should be something kind of controversial or problematic about it.
And I think Richard did such a good job of making it sort of clear and simple and straightforward.
If you sort of stick to the facts and go, well, look...
these are the options, these are the side effects, these are the possibilities, these are the reasons it hasn't been done.
At the end of it, I feel much more relaxed about male contraception as an issue.
I sort of go, okay, I understand the boundaries of this, what works, what doesn't, what might happen in the future and why it's not happening.
I'm very persuaded that this is a market failure, essentially.
There's a sort of commercial failure here.
And you know there's a market because you are the market.
I mean, I think this would be another revolution.
It might be a bit quieter, but it would change subtly many, many dynamics in relationships in really important, I think, very positive ways.
There are some really nice ideas that testosterone, that we think of as the virilizing hormone, reduces your fertility.
And his gentle reframing of the vasectomy as being a really positive thing to do.
