Would you encourage or require your teenage son to get a male BC shot if it were available and deemed safe?

As long as it's safe, I would encourage it and still stress the need for condoms when he felt he was ready for sex.

this.

Encourage, yes, just as I'd encourage my daughter to go on birth control if she was sexually active.

Require? Probably not. Unless he was bopping a ton of girls (oh dear god, I hope not), but I would definitely require him get tested for STDs if he was going to continue to do shit in an unsafe way.

This is pretty much how I feel too.

I don't think I would encourage any of my children to introduce hormones into their bodies. If they wanted to do it I would fully support them but there are other methods of birth control which do not involve hormone injections.

Yep. I do need to get on that fishbowl of condoms next to the front door. Enough so I can't really tell if any go missing. :P

I would encourage it, but I would not require it. Same for a girl.

Heck yeah, I'd encourage it.
