<p>While Marcotte and Dweck <a href="http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2011/07/is-there-money-in-a-male-pill.html" target="_self">debate</a> the market demand for male contraception, Tracy Clark-Flory <a href="http://www.salon.com/life/feature/2011/07/26/male_pill" target="_self">talks</a> to a variety of experts about its potential cultural impact:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Carol Queen, a Good Vibrations staff sexologist, told me that it might  allow men to &quot;aspire&quot; to have more sex, perhaps with more partners. She  says this &quot;may free up women to further explore sexual possibilities&quot; as  well as &quot;further challenge monogamy and hasten the open discussion of  positive alternatives to monogamy.&quot; Most experts expect it would  decrease the rate of unplanned pregnancies, but Queen suggests that  comes with the risk that &quot;contraception will feel more immediate and  necessary than safer sex prophylaxis.&quot; The result could be &quot;that  pill-popping males may be even less inclined to use condoms,&quot; she says,  &quot;maybe especially when they&#39;re out on the town, not at home with  partners where they&#39;ll have to wonder what room to put the bassinet in  if sperm should meet egg.&quot;</p>
