Welcome to Litsy!

This is a really good book with a lot of really good information. Some of it is not 100% correct (literally 2 things), but since those things are not common knowledge, it‘s hard to know one must ask, let alone knowing WHO to ask. Still, very important conversations should be started by this book. We MUST stop acting like men are these helpless sex havers, and it‘s on women to prevent pregnancy.

Let‘s be clear, FDA drug approval requires that the side effects are not as severe, are better, and are safer than the effects they are preventing. All the side effects of female birth control are better and safer than the effects of pregnancy. ANY side effects in male birth control will exclude it, since the only side effects of sperm rich ejaculation are a potential mess to be cleaned up and possible embarrassment if not when/where intended.

To be fair, an insane number of people DON‘T cover their nose and mouth when they sneeze… especially in the COVID era. They think they‘re acting against “wokeness” and the “radical left.” They‘re just being gross, and it‘s one more way conservatives show they genuinely do not care about other people. Moral majority my 🫏! I have seen these lunatics literally sneeze on a sign asking people to cover their sneeze or wear a mask.

I‘m sorry, but this is starting to annoy me. As the person who spent my entire working day trying to explain to men why they had to have an exam BEFORE they could be scheduled for a vasectomy, let‘s make it clear. MOST are done in a doctor‘s office. The exam before is to see if you will need to have it done under general anaesthesia. Reasons general would be needed? Blood vessels and pain tolerance.

A day off #praisebe listening to this gem of a book while I did errands all morning around town and finished it off with the V in Lego. This book is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and should be read by everybody. I learned a lot, I understand so much more and I am hopping mad at the shaft women get over and over. We have drunk the koolaid and it‘s time to spit it out

Learning some things

A couple passages to highlight a couple of the cultural issues discussed.

This is the first major book released (that I'm aware of) about a conversion that is vitally important for humanity. Important doesn't mean good, though. It is very repetitive, often contradictory, and the scope is very narrow. It comes off as opinionated, because you don't find out til the end that the sources and end notes are available online.
All that said, even as a "woke liberal," I was absolutely schooled here ⤵️

I can‘t stress these 126 pages enough. If you‘ve followed me for a while, you know I am unapologetically pro-choice. I am a clinic escort, abortion doula, and I volunteer with my local abortion fund. I‘ve used oral and injectable contraceptives for years, not just to prevent pregnancy. The few sexual partners I‘ve had used a condom. But how many of them always had the ‘no glove, no love‘ rule? How many of them had no issue with a vasectomy? ⬇️

Thank you Litsy for putting this book on my radar. I appreciated Blair‘s take on the need for men to take responsibility for preventing unwanted pregnancies. Succinct and thought provoking, I will be convincing everyone I can to read this.

The Washington Post said it perfectly in their review
”Blair‘s fresh reframe should be required reading for any person who has sex, wants to have sex or is raising someone who might have sex in the future. This slender book has what it takes to be the foundation for a movement.”

In a perfect world, men would read this and be convinced of how and why they should ejaculate responsibly, resulting in fewer unwanted pregnancies and shifting the conversation about abortion away from blaming and legislating women alone. Alas, we don't live in a perfect world 😕 with its bold font, in your face statements, and startling statistics, I enjoyed this book. I hope one day it will be read far and wide and maybe change some minds.

Every teenager in America should read this book. And every adult. A brilliant educational manifesto on eliminating elective abortion.

Fantastic! This book was well researched, written, and a great read! The author argues for shifting the conversation about unwanted pregnancies from women and abortions to men and prevention. Women are fertile 2 days a month for an average of 35 years and men are fertile every day from puberty until death Birth control is safer, cheaper, and more easily accessible for men. For those reasons, and dozens of others, it is time to flip the script .

Definitely a pick! This is a short, but important book. I thought the audio narration by the author was well done. #Booked2023 #AboutReproductiveRights

This is a very short book about men being responsible for their semen and where they put it. Blair points out that all unwanted pregnancies are caused by one thing- men ejaculating irresponsibly.

I love her point of view, and the idea that with better education we could teach people with semen to recognize they can prevent abortions very simply.

I‘d love to see this in the hands of teens of all genders. And adults!

This book takes the conversation about repro rights and turns it on its head. That‘s a telling pun. Every abortion can be prevented by one thing—men acting responsibly. The author makes a book-length listicle (list+article). I enjoyed her audiobook narration and book content so much that I grabbed the ebook right after finishing a library audiobook.

Every unwanted pregnancy has one thing in common: it occurred because sperm was ejaculated into a vagina. And yet we hold the vagina owner fully responsible for this. Blair suggests we reframe this conversation and hold everyone responsible for their own body fluids. This is a terrific, brief book, made all the more persuasive by the fact that the author has six kids and self-describes as religious.

4/5 stars. A quick read about the author‘s position on a relevant topic. She uses short, readable chapters to present data to back up her position - one that posits that we are really focusing on the wrong thing as society debates and legislates and makes abortion the prominent factor of discussion when there are other things that are playing a larger role in the issue but that go ignored.

High pick! These arguments are presented clearly and briefly . . . and are backed up by extensive sources. It‘s time to change the conversation. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#ejaculate-responsibly

★★★★★ Every person who can ejaculate sperm should read this, no matter their position on abortion.
