For a very long time I have been considering getting a vasectomy. I'm 31, not in an LTR, and I honestly cannot stand children. I figure if I ever by some miraculous chance ever change my mind and want to have kids, I can adopt*. I have an army buddy who ended up knocking a female "soldier" up and it's really messed up his life, and he actually likes kids and wants to see his. I know that new male birth control is supposed to come out in a few years, but it will likely be decades before that's a commonly available solution.

What are your thoughts on vasectomies as a means to prevent Professional Mothers from using you as an 18 year ATM? Are you comfortable with being sterile for life (assuming it goes right and you never go through the complicated and expensive reversal) Any funny stories about women who cheated and told their man (who had a vasectomy) it was theirs?

*By adopt I do NOT mean adopt some single mom's sex trophy. I mean adopt a baby who is a few days old, which is what happened to me. Again, I am 99.9999% certain I will never want to do even this.
