It’s an extra layer of protection in addition to condoms. STIs are still a thing, of course. But there’s no chance of pregnancy in case of a condom break - that will ease the mind of some women.

What will happen is that it just won't be worth it for women to have sex with men until the men commit to a long term relationship which may produce children.

You can tell this an old person board. The younger generation really doesn’t fear unwanted pregnancies, the women have been on birth control since HS, etc.

But maybe not for too much longer. You aren't reading the room right now.

Nearly half (41%) of all pregnancies today are still unplanned. The failure rate for the pill is about 92%. Condoms alone are even less effective. I feared an unwanted pregnancy from 19 up on birth control. I am mid 40s. I can still get pregnant. I was off the pill for 48 hours and had an unplanned pregnancy in my mid-30s. A friend got pregnant while on the pill twice (she was not married and very young). I also know an IUD baby. Women still do fear unplanned pregnancies.

I told my H last week he needs to get one. He’s been meaning to for a couple years, told him he needs to do it now.

I got mine last year at MedStar. There’s waitlists to see urologists for the procedure. Took four month from first call to surgery date.

Will get worse next year.

A vasectomy is reversible. You'd need up-to-date sperm count testing, plus a full panel for STIs.

Men can't be trusted. Verify. Always. And then still use condoms, because men.

Men lie.
And women know this.
So I predict no change.
The better course would be a return to greater discernment in choosing a partner and women consciously lowering their body count anyway. I don’t think society would be worse off for that outcome.

There is no way in the new "your body, my choice" era, that I would ever trust any man who told me he had a vasectomy.

Sorry, men, all of you will pay the price - fewer woman are willing to have sex with any of you and those that are still willing will make you wrap it all the time now because the consequences of pregnancy are now far too serious.

I got a vasectomy decades ago. For several years I could still see the tiny scars, but now they are faded away. Other than that, I have no proof. I didn't save any paperwork and didn't care, I was married then.

That said, I've never had a woman not believe me and all of them have been very grateful for it.

My husband had one before me. We still have kids.

Interesting thought. Perhaps a new line item on the dating apps.

Reading the room lmao. You mean conforming to what the people here think?

I have conversations in the real world.

You are a complete idiot. Same website:
Combined oral contraceptives—Also called “the pill,” combined oral contraceptives contain the hormones estrogen and progestin. It is prescribed by a doctor. A pill is taken at the same time each day. If you are older than 35 years and smoke, have a history of blood clots or breast cancer, your doctor may advise you not to take the pill. Typical use failure rate: 7%.1

Progestin-only pill—Unlike the combined pill, the progestin-only pill (sometimes called the mini-pill) only has one hormone, progestin, instead of both estrogen and progestin. It is prescribed by a doctor. It is taken at the same time each day. It may be a good option for women who can’t take estrogen. Typical use failure rate: 7%.1

My doctor offered me a "souvenir" to take home with me. I said no. Gross.
