About this listen

In Ejaculate Responsibly, Gabrielle Blair offers a provocative reframing of the abortion issue in post-Roe America. In a series of 28 brief arguments, she deftly makes the case for moving the abortion debate away from controlling and legislating women’s bodies and instead directs the focus on men’s lack of accountability in preventing unwanted pregnancies.

Highly readable, accessible, funny, and unflinching, Blair builds her argument by walking readers through the basics of fertility (men are 50 times more fertile than women), the unfair burden placed on women when it comes to preventing pregnancy (90% of the birth control market is for women), the wrongheaded stigmas around birth control for men (condoms make sex less pleasurable, vasectomies are scary and emasculating), and the counterintuitive reality that men, who are fertile 100% of the time, take little to no responsibility for preventing pregnancy.

The result is a compelling and convincing case for placing the responsibility—and burden—of preventing unwanted pregnancies away from women and onto men.

This book is really challenged my thinking even as someone who is staunchly pro choice. We have always forced full responsibility for pregnancy into women when far easier, healthier and less invasive options are open to men. This is truly thought provoking and challenging yet highly accessible. Anyone who educates young people about contraception should read/listen this book.

Gabrielle Blair articulates a robust and comprehensive argument as to why regulating abortions are a desperate and truly inefficient lever to pull to address the consequence of unwanted pregnancies. The author describes in her book a logical, well researched, solid and, dare I say it, quite obvious alternative to regulating Women’s body. I enjoyed reading it and the book has opened my mind to a different and fairer way of thinking about this polarising issue. I also loved the author reading her book.

Brilliant listen, robust evidence engagingly narrated but the author
