Yeah, I think men do have an anxiety about masculine identity and having a vasectomy.
And it won't affect your testosterone levels.
It's a really important, generous, decent thing to do.
And Richard did say, you know, hormonal contraceptive methods for men would have side effects the way that they do for women.
And I wonder how listeners will hear that.
Because when you hear it in the abstract, there may be people going, well, I don't like the sound of that.
But were this product to be on the market and that were a discussion you had as a couple, it might feel very different.
It might be essentially the conversation I think you as a couple would have is who wants to have the side effects?
Who should have the side effects?
And how would that work?
And we probably don't have any idea how those conversations would play out and what role they might play in society and in family planning.
I think it's really hard to know.
Zandi, we should flag to everyone that wants to join us for further discussion with Richard on the topic of male contraception.
You can check out this week's episode of Doctor's Notes.
Richard was kind enough to stay a little bit longer, and we got further into the barriers to developing male contraceptives, as well as talking about the public perception towards them.
And about how he got into this field of research and how interesting everyone finds it.
It's all in the feed on BBC Sounds.
Go and check it out.
Chris, while I've still got you, there was a nice little piece from one of the tabloids.
A bumper load of 38,000 bananas was sent to a single supermarket on the sparsely populated Orkney Islands.
