This might be of interest to you, but then again, I doubt it.
Unlike other people, I'm open to new data that will change my views. So I'll be happy to take a look.
What I am referring to is about the last 1/4 of this article.

So the article states that socially women are becoming more of the driving force behind relationships as we move to a more intelligent species and away from agricultural grounds. It also states that women move their primary focus from their spouse, to kids, to grandkids. Perhaps I'm missing it, but what point are you trying to make? That you're not going to be the sole focus of your spouse forever? What's the problem with this? I don't have a *need* to provide everything for my significant other. I want a person who is self sufficient and can handle themselves without *needing* me.
Go ahead and get your nuts cut. Pulling yourself out of the gene pool is probably the best thing you can do for humanity.
A) getting snipped does not mean a person is removed from the gene pool. As others have stated you can freeze your sperm for future use, or most already have kids.
B) it's got a decent rate of success at being reversed
Have you ever heard of female spiders eating the males after mating? That is what getting cut does. It ensures the woman you will not have kids with anyone else. Like I told my first and second wife, I want to make sure I can have kids if we split up.
I'm single. Getting snipped was my decision, and it does not ensure anybody I won't have kids. It ensures, unless it grows back or didn't work, that I won't have kids from sex and gives me control over "accidents." I can decide when and if I want kids. Not the woman (who if she got knocked up could refuse to get an abortion or give it up for adoption if I didn't want to be a parent with her).
While you might enjoy and want the ability to have a kid with every wife you have, I do not. I don't need kids to "bring me closer" to somebody. I don't need kids to "make me complete." I don't need kids in my life unless I choose to have them with a spouse in which case it's easy to get some banked stuff and use other means to get pregnant.
Get out of the stone age.
Haha, ok right after you evolve past being a Neanderthal with your "I must control my woman and not let her dictate my body!!!!!!111!!!1!!1!!1!11!".
Over the past few decades there have been advances made in womens health. there are options available that are less invasive then the male getting cut.
Name one option that makes a person unable to have kids (we aren't talking regular BC here).
It's medically simpler for the male to get this done than a female equivalent, but people ought not to think that just because in most cases it's a fairly simple procedure with few or no side effects that this is always the case. There is a real, if not terribly large possibility of lingering issues from it, such as long term pain from the procedure.
Good point. As with all surgeries, there are always risks and complications potentially. That said, it's pretty safe as far as surgeries go.
