Well for women to take birth control it's not exactly an easy thing, and it does cause a disturbance for them. They do need to go to the doctor to have it prescribed and they have to go through a thourough exam at regular intervals to continue renewing their prescription.
Really a male oral contraceptive would certainly have some sort of side effect that may not be worth it, and would you be willing to continually get it if you had to have a prostate exam every 12 months in order to renew your prescription? Plus as a man the worst that ever is going to happen to you is that you have a child that you'll have to support. You won't have to go through labour, you won't have to miss work to nurse a new born and give birth. So I can see why it's a very low priority for the pharmaceutical industry. Especially when the current male contraceptive is proven to be pretty effective and inexpensive and has very little in terms of side effects. Too bad if it's a pain in the arse and ruins the moment for you.
