If you are looking to get into a casual relationship, i.E., not with the idea of meeting someone to marry and have kids with, or even a commited relationship without kids, does knowing the man has a vasectomy make him more or less attractive?

neither more or less to me. If I were to be in a 'casual' relationship, i'd wear protection and multiple forms of birth control. So the vasectomy part would be a null point.

However, I do think it would mean a lot to some women who were in a casual relationship.

If I was in search of a meaningful relationship, it would make a huge difference. And I always figure, why am I with a person just for sex? Unless I really like him, I am not with him.

a thoughtful question.............But how do you bring up this subject? I'm assuming after a period of time.....................I suppose if your in a casual relationship it would be more attractive.............But to even bring up the "vasectomy" before you have established some sort of relationship is, er...........................Creepy.

I dunno, maybe old fashioned here but I really don't buy the whole casual sex/relationship thing......................Especially where females are concerned............We and I hope men feel the same way..............Really want someone to really care and love us.....................Married or not, children or not. ~my views only~ :)

I agree with ingi.

Personally, I would be more worried about std protection than birth control in a casual sex 'relationship'.

However, if your f'ck buddy isn't into condoms then yes, it would make you more attractive.

Allow me to clarify: I am looking for an ltr, but so far, not much joy, and things go the way they go when you're dating - they all pretty much start out as casual relationships, no?

Anyway, I already have kids, don't want to have any more myself, hence the vasectomy, and ideally, my partner would feel the same way.

And no, I don't generally bring it up, unless the condom breaks or something, and I do use condoms, sometimes even vinyl gloves - i'm just curious how you feel about the vasectomy itself - does it take the element of risk out of the whole thing or what?

This is just me, and maybe i'm strange but I don't fully trust any form of birth control. If you look at the statistics, nothing is 100% effective and I can't trust 99.9% - you know, someone has to fall into the .001 category or it wouldn't exist.

So, yes a vasectomy would definitely take away the risks and worries.

I personally would find a man with a vasectomy attractive............Why?............

1)i'm a old broad(43 but still fertile unfortunately).................No more kids......Have two......Love children.....But the bod can only take so much;
2)once you have decided you want to take a chance with this person, and the whole std thing has been discussed.....I don't want a condom(detest those things).......Skin on skin is always better.
3)i've had the ol'tubes tied................And I think that makes me "more attractive??" at least to the opposite sex who feel the same way as I do,ie................... No more children

.............Don't get me wrong, absolutely adore children............However, there are dangers to having children at my age.....My youngest is disabled and "needs" to be the "baby"(most attention).....Not to mention.....I'm a little selfish and wanna have some .Me time..........

.........And yes of course it takes the risk and worries out. :)
