Guys, Would you have a vasectomy to avoid child support and paternity fraud?

[msc545]

Many men I know are having vasectomies to avoid the primary ways that women extract money from men - child support and paternity fraud (is that child really yours?). Would you do this?

[misogynistic_pig]

No, because having a vasectomy would be kneeling before the whims of women, because the ones who should have a hysterectomy are women, because they are the ones who get pregnant.

[msc545]

"Should" is not the same as "will". Women will do nothing to impair their ability to get pregnant because that and marriage are their tickets to a lifelong free meal.

[Twalli]

No, I got one for a different reason.

[Soteris]

No. I would also not wear a helmet to protect myself from asteroids. Living your life in fear of extraordinarily unlikely events is going to ruin your life just the same as if these things actually happened.

I’m getting a vasectomy because I don’t want children. It’s not really about paternity fraud or child support, as it is about me not believing the world will be better in 40 years and there’s already 8 billion humans farting around

[KrakenAttackin]

If you already have your kids or don't want kids, absolutely. And I would never tell the next chick that I had a vasectomy. Let her try to baby trap me with her "magical" pussy while I am just shooting blanks.

[SmokinAces2000]

I wouldn’t get caught up in paternity fraud because if I was hooking up and got a random girl pregnant I would get DNA as soon as the kid was born and I definitely wouldn’t be signing any birth certificates until I get the results

[Boromir]

Nope, never. I would simply not make my sperm available to anyone non-intended. Getting a vasectomy for this aim sounds like cutting off your feet to avoid an itch there…

[FilmGuy93]

Probably not. I don’t see much point in getting the surgery, because I basically only have sex with women I think highly super highly of as people

[SnowedIn]

Not for those reasons. But I'd do it if I was sure I was done having children.

[Dargil]

That wouldn't do it. They identify DNA by a blood test.

[msc545]

Uh... you cannot impregnate someone if you have had a vasectomy.

[Drumlin2001]

Probably not. Of I had any doubts I'd get a paternity test. I am getting a vasectomy because my 2 kids are enough and I don't intend to have more

I think you mean after a vasectomy, you cannot get a woman pregnant so her false claims are easier to dismiss.

The only time I would have a vasectomy is if I never wanted another child.
