TL;DR
Wondering your thoughts on the impact of vasectomy on SMV and dread.

I have known for a couple of years that I am not willing to have any more kids with my wife. Recognizing that the marriage may not be permanent, I had been hesitant to get a vasectomy because I thought it may impact my SMV and I didn't want to rule out having kids with someone else. I am now convinced that I don't want any more kids with anyone, so I finally booked the procedure.
 
My wife approached me a month ago and asked me about the vasectomy. She wanted know if I was sure that I wanted to do it, since it seemed to her like the procedure was a commitment to our marriage and would affect my prospects with other women. Putting aside the details of the comfort test, it was interesting to hear her raise the same concern that a sterile man is less sexually desirable.

I don't know if my wife is typical. She can be cold when it comes to what she considers masculine or not. For example we have a friend who had a testicle removed for cancer, and she has made small remarks that show she perceives him as less desirable afterward (probably both for the testicle and seeming sick or unfit.)
 
My mind is made up and I know the reversal success rate, so this isn't about counseling me on a decision (ie. Hopefully not a shit post.) I am interested in what you think of the female perception of a sterile man and how it might impact SMV, dread, and red pill strategies in marriage.
