I'd want to be sure that it doesn't have any side effects, but if it was safe, I'd definitely use it. I disagree with the author of the article on one thing, though; I don't think women will be too happy about men having a "pill" of their own.

Part of women's power at the moment is that they have near-absolute control over the process of reproduction. Some women "forget" to take their pill or "accidentally" break a condom, and their partners find themselves hopelessly trapped into fatherhood. Any method that gives men more control over what happens to their sperm is certain to be greeted with a scowl by many women.
