On June 30th, 2006, at 11:30am, I am scheduled to be surgically sterilized.

I'm looking forward to many years of worry-free sex with my girlfriend, and a long life of no children. =)

Anyone else here planning to not have kids?

Just save some off to the side in case you ever change your mind ....It's as simple as that ...never overlook the idea that you may someday find something that you want to pass on to the next generation so get yourself some jizz ala cart before the procedure and you'll never have to look back ...just use it appropraitly 😛

lol Glitch. Well let's look at it this way. You spend the money on one operation, (Hopefully ONLY one ... ) and you never need to buy condoms again.

Of course, be aware that these things can occasionally reverse themselves. Whether it's true or not, (Nobody go searching at Snopes or anything; just listen to the moral. XD ) if your girlfriend suddenly gets pregnant, get yourself tested before jumping to any conclusions.

I don't see how. Vasectomies involve severing the tube (vas deferens) that delivers sperm to mix into the semen that you ejaculate. Unless the surgeon botches the operation or your body magically reconnects the tubes I don't see any possibility of a reversal. Sounds like scare tactics.

It has happened before, but the ratio of occurance registers so far below 1% that it's negligable, and as Rainman said, it only happens because of incompetence on the part of the doctor.

Hopefully everything will go fine with mine. 😊

Here's the Wikipedia Entry.

As you can see, there are no sexual or hormonal side effects. It just turns your deadly weapon into a toy.

I just fell in love with Cronic's idea. Sterlization, with a side of sperm saved for when you're ready for kids. That's brilliant.

"I want to have kids, but can't because I'm a huge loser with no penis and I can't get laid."
put this one because... i want minions eventually... i dont have a penis... and iv been being a total loser lately >:O

yep ...stick it where ya like when ya like from there and let science grab your back if you choose to have children 😉 Not only that but it will ultimatly make you very very choosey in who has it thus making you much more prepared for child rearing in general ...of course the old fashioned way still works, but i prefer a strategy =)

I wouldn't trouble the world with whatever gross imbeciles would spring from my loins.

So no kids. 😃

I'm kind of either way. I don't really have much of a maternal instinct, but I'm still kind of curious about pregnancy/kids, but just as in idea. In reality, not so much, considering I have reproductive probs, I'm afraid of pregnancy and I really hate long-term messy commitments that you can't get out of (haha I rule). I'm on birth control all the time for my ovary probs anyway, so probably don't have to worry. I guess if I ever feel like really having them I'll adopt. I like the idea of adoption more than having kids. That would be when I was old and more settled though, like 40-50. Maybe. I want to run around like a crazy person first and see what my direction in life is. Idk. Oh, that and any guy I am ever seriously bangin' is not the father type.

Agreed I'm cerrtainly not responsible enough to have kids now, or any time in the near future. And I don't really put much importance in blood, your kids are your kids whatever a DNA strand may have to say about it. It just seems easier to adopt, you want a boy and girl? Well you don't have to worry about having three or four to get what you want.

If I had money to adopt a lot, I'd adopt Chinese girls, Russian boys, and maybe some black kids because they never fucking get adopted in the US. I'd have a kid farm.

I really want kids, but right now the one I am in love with may not be suitable for being a mother due to her--mental ecentricities.

I don't want kids either, and can't have them anyway.

What I would like though, is to have a genetically altered clone of myself born after I've died.
With the hope that this clone would be more successful in life than I have been, and would thus make a better candidate for carrying on my genetic line.

Daark, you are the single most depressing person I've ever spoken with.

I had DC's idea a while back. It's a good idea, except the operation part scares the hell out of me.

I guess, but I hate the Angelina Jolie comparrison...a lot of people do it especially around here, a lot of upper-middle-class or rich families adopt that way, she just publicized it. My family's not rich but has a history of adopting anyway (and marrying diversely anyways), native American, Chinese and black are adopted right now in various parts. It is less of a rainbow family and more of a trying to take over the entire world.

Beldaran, call me crazy but I can almost guarantee this will hurt your dating life more than anything. As you grow up and mature and find someone you feel like marrying it's almost a given at some point she's gonna want kids. How do you think she's gonna feel when you tell her she's gotta go to a lab to get pregnant?

I think you're a fool for doing this at such a young age and hope you bump this in 10 years complaining about how you're half the man you used to be.

Quoted for truth.

Well a lot of girls don't want kids these days. If you don't want them, you shouldn't have them just because your partner does because that will ruin your relationship with them and the kids will suffer for it anyway.

Try asking a few women over the age of 25 or 30. I'm not doubting there are some, but I bet a good 90% of the female population does want children.

A lot of girls are young and stupid and think that they will be partying and having fun for their whole life. Making such a permanent, important decision when you are young is rather short sighted since you have no idea what your feelings will be on the subject even a year later.

That's why Belderan needs the back-up sperm. He should hope that any potential mate won't be too sentimental about the conception thing.
