Think of the legal liability. Oy!

I am glad I had The Big Snip. I am in the same boat as Brad, but with the risk of long term side effects from this possible new treatemnt I will take the devil I know.

a side benefit to women on the pill is acne control. This one doesn’t sound like it would have any benefit like that to men. If it makes me put on weight in addition to that other terrifying alteration to my anatomy, I’m out.

I need to amend my earlier post on this thread. It has been brought to my attention that your alien stalker girlfriend may be in possession of a high enough level of technology that she doesn’t need to obtain fully developed eggs/sperm from your body in order to reproduce. She may be able to use something as simple as fresh hair cuttings or fingernail clippings, or for that matter, a skin sample scraped off your left eyebrown, in order to reverse engineer stem cells and use them to create sperm. So basically if you are looking for an absolute guarantee that your DNA won’t be reproduced, abstinence won’t work.

Sorry, Chris – if an alien stalker sets her sights on your body, looks like you’re just screwed. Good luck with your legal defense on the paternity suit.

Abstinence is said to be 100% effective, unless you are (A) kidnapped by aliens who steal your eggs/sperm; (B) a victim of immaculate conception; (C) raped by a swam who is really Zeus in disguise.

@2 Chris- abstinence is unnatural.

Well Chris, something tells me you will continue to experience abstinence for quite some time to come…

I had a vasectomy about 15 years ago and I don’t think my orgasms have been quite as intense as they were before the surgery.

I resisted the suggestion once or twice that I reverse the vasectomy, a procedure I refer to as a reconnectomy.

@1 Gil
Just tell her “I was in the pool!”

Also there is another form men can use. It’s called abstinence. I have successfully used it for 32 years. Although granted I didn’t know what to do with the equipment for the first 12 years.

Having shrinking testes is a little cringe inducing, though… still, it’ll be interesting to follow the research and I suppose it isn’t necessarily more cringe inducing than a vacestomy.
