WHERE IS THE C*M!?! No seriously you guys that’s the question we’re asking today and also apparently…. men are BEGGING for this? News to me. On today’s episode, I sit down with L.R. Fox, founder of NEXT Life Sciences - the man creating birth control for men among other science breakthroughs for both men and women. That’s right - GET EXCITED because it’s finally here. Ladies... we're almost free!! We break down Plan A—the non-hormonal male “IUD,” a hydrogel designed to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years and be reversed whenever he’s ready for a baby. Boom, bam—it’s baby making time. We also get into the PausePill, an on-demand birth control pill for men. Guys in relationships could take it daily, while the single lads could pop one just two hours before sex for 24 hours of protection. INSANE, RIGHT?! But perhaps not as insane as one unexpected side effect.... it may help men last longer. Ladies, forget flowers. One day, the hottest anniversary gift might be your man looking you in the eyes and saying, “Babe, you can get off birth control. I’ve got this.” SEND THIS EPISODE TO YOUR MAN BECAUSE HIS TIME IS COMING... AND IT'S TIME TO STEP IT UP.
