	"Birth-Control to net.women"  I hope you were kidding ...

and to Judith's question (do men ask): this one does (now), but admits to have
omitted the question in younger years (or trusted the answer), both not
recommendable procedures.

As a matter of fact, I believe that I could make a good case for the (my)
position, that one should (morally) expect the man to take more responsibility
for worrying about birth-control, as he suffers the lesser consequences of
conception.  Why?  Because my morals say, that when another suffers under
the consequences of my actions, I am responsible, at least, in part.

And if a voluntary joint undertaking (sex) exposes the other party to a
higher risk, my morals say that I should make the greater effort that
nothing goes wrong.  Did I make myself clear enough?

If there was an unproblematic method of birth-control for men
(short of abstinence) I would certainly like to use it. And if there was
a way to make sure no VD is passed, I'd rather have the means to make
sure myself, too.

But back to reality .....
