Prediction: men with vasectomies will be very popular in the dating market

[Anonymous]

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

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

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.

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

I have conversations in the real world.

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.

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

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

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

Got one years ago, I’m not sure it really helped me get laid more often, although I don’t advertise it. Except now. So call me ladies…

I am extremely pro choice, without restriction on abortion whatsoever.

But totally separately, I hate idiots.

The failure rate for the pill is not 92 percent. That’s the success rate. Moreover, in your scenario, you had an obvious failure where you stopped taking the pill for two days. And apparently you had sex during that time and didn’t immediately get the morning after pill when you realized - because otherwise you wouldn’t have ended up with an unplanned pregnancy. I’d say you’re not super responsible with birth control over all. So you’re a good candidate for condoms.

Don’t have sex if you forgot the pill for two days. If you take the pill as instructed, it generally works without pregnancy. If you’re unlikely to remember to take the pill daily, use backup. In 15 years of being on the pill, I only forgot to take it for one two-day period and I instantly realized and went to PP and took the morning after pill.

I had a vasectomy a few years ago. Several women have asked whether I had one. Some have been more enthusiastic when they heard I had one but one basically ended a potential relationship immediately.

A vasectomy is considered non-reversible. You have to sign a paper saying you understand that before you get one. The micro-vascular surgery required to reverse it is complicated but, even if they successfully re-attach the vas, a man can still be infertile. When a man has a vasectomy, the billions of sperm are absorbed by his body and sometimes, the immune system will attack them. This can also happen to a man who hasn't had a vasectomy and be a cause of infertility. So even if the the attachment goes well, he may still be infertile. No one should ever count on a vasectomy being reversible. I wish it was that simple. If only they could install a simple valve in teenage boys that would not be opened until he is ready to have children, then closed again.

You are good with abortions at 32 weeks for no reason other than changed mind?

You can buy a test online for $50 and mail in your sample. The lab will analyze it and send you the results you can download from their website that shows no presence of sperm. It's very easy.

And this is what will happen. You will probably find more women who want a short term (or long term) sex only relationship, but not anyone who wants to have kids.

All else equal, a guy with a vasectomy is going to be a more desirable dating partner starting next year.
