What would happen to a man who took birth control pills?

He does not get pregnant.

His risk of getting pregnant would be greatly reduced.

great question +

I have no idea...

I've heard that because of all the women taking birth control pills the chemicals in it which pass through the toilet and into the water system, men become slightly more feminine! (not sure WHERE i heard this though)

Here is an answer which was posted to the same kind of question.

Answer:
Birth control pills are the hormones which are found in greater quantities in women than men, so depending on how much is taken, the effects could vary. If a man takes one pill, not much will happen. Perhaps he might feel funny, or show maybe some more feminine characteristics (like slight breast/pectoral growth, for example) but it will go away after a short while. If taken on a regular basis, a man will show signs of becoming more feminine looking, and will start changing his body chemistry. And the effects will last longer because of the buildup of artificial hormones in his body. He probably would not be able to produce viable sperm (and perhaps not even have a sex drive), because the testosterone in his system is being counteracted by the estrogen and progesterone.

So what happens in essence is that a man starts to become physically more womanly in taking of birth control pills. One will not have much of an effect, but regular taking will.

Since I don't know why this question is being asked, let me say that if a man is contemplating this to try and effect some type of change to become a woman or something else of the sort, don't. Body chemistry is a delicate thing, and there are some very serious permanent health effect risks that can result from non-professional attempts to rebalance any hormone, but especially sex hormones. It's never a good thing to play with hormones on a direct basis, but if someone feels they must, they should go to the doctor and talk to him/her first.

I am 32 year old white male and i have been taking birth control for 1 month now, I have experienced reduction in overall body mass and weight redistribution to chest and hips. Now i have read that it would have little to no effect to drastic changes? i have been pretty scientific about the process. I have kept measurements, now i have been taking natural herbs like fenugreek and working out as well so the results are a combination of things.

first i am 5ft 9 and weighed about 200lbs when i started, my bust 42, band 40, waist 40 hip 42, arm 14 thigh 24 and even penis 6in long and 2 1/2 in diameter.

after 30 days, im still 5ft 9, weigh 173 my bust is solid 44 band 37 waist 36 hip 43 arm 12 thigh 21 penis is the same.

I plan to be on this regiment for 90 days while im going to counseling for the potential to start the actual hormone treatment.

overall, i definitely feel more fem, skin feels softer, hair feels softer and just basically calmer and more emotional. my breasts are more than a handfull, they look real, feel real and fill a bra properly. I was kinda a fem to begin with, thin face, long slender neck, small ears, small nose, small hands and feet and the best part, very little body hair....:)....but overall, i think with the combination of birth control, fenugreek and working out, the results have been very pleasant in my opinion. i love the slendering of my limbs and the softening of the skin,,I was a semi passable cd now i am very passable, i feel very confident..if you have transgender issues, i suggest finding a support system and talking about, and remember transgender issues are not the same as homosexuality...there is a big difference,,,hope this helps and ill report back in a month.

About 10 years ago I tried taking some birth control pills, for a month, double dose, with some aspirin, to avoid possible clots, the results were that my penis, and
testicles, shrank about 50%, I lost 3 inches from my waste, and gained 3 inches on my chest and 2 inches on my hips. I then had to make a decision to give them up or continue taking them, as I started to act and feel like a woman, and was genuinely attracted to men. Overall the long term results are that I now look about 15 to 20 years younger looking than men of my age, and I have to say I have often had the urge to go back on them as I just loved the feeling they gave me.

I Dont Think Anything would Happen..

Nothing would happen

Hi,
I am male, and i have been taking birthcontrol pills for the last 10 days. Nothing to report yet :)

You'll grow boobs.

not sure if they have them but look up Progesterone and Estrogen to see their effects on men. Some effects might actually be beneficial, in small doses of course.

but I got on to ask a question, instead of physical might taking many Birth Control pills at once have an effect on your character for the next few hours or however much time?? im writing a film where in a scene a man becomes really affeminate and begins sobbing uncontrolably while watching an old couple interact, hes out with his mates and they have no idea whats wrong with him. Wanted to see if a whole package of Birth Control pills might be the cause, cheers

It would prevent his ovaries from fertalizing...

ok i am a fifty year old homo. since taking birth control, i am now a hermaphrodite. yes, there is a vagina under my penis, which is long enough to touch the vagina. sometimes it goes in. it feels great =)

I have been taking birth control pills for over 4 years now and my penis recently dropped off and i am left with a smooth patch of skin which is extremely sensitive which makes for excellent scissoring :) . I have gone up 2 breast sizes to a size 48DD. i have also been experiencing heavy periods out of my rectum.
thanks and scissor me timbers :)

i've heard of taking 2-3 pills before a drug test nothing will show in your blood
hope its true:)

Hi, i am 43,male,straight?(possibly gay not sure) and i have been taking birth control since i was 8 and ever since 5 years ago my dick has started to grow inwards. Along with my dick shrinking/unenlargening my "boobies" have trippled in size. I now am afraid to go out in public because technically i am a man, but i dont have much of a dick :/. unfortunately last month, my mom found my birth control "stash" and now i am grounded for a week. :( no xbox for me :(. Overall Birth Control is great for men. I LOVE THE WORLD!0

i just took 1 for a dare im getting like 30 or 40 dollars but im like freaking out

i am 25 and i have taken 2 pills a day since i was 15 and this has happened

I would say he would start having female manners, breast swallowing etc.
