    I’ve never wanted children and got a vasectomy in my early 30s. I think a lot of men don’t do this because they have this cartoonish belief that it makes them less of a man to shoot blanks or the erroneous belief that they’re family lineage is so god damned important that they’re obligated to continue it.

      Or they just don’t know if they’ll want to raise children later…

      Sure you could say they should adopt, but they may see some value in the experience of supporting their partner as they go through childbirth in forming a bond to the child.
