lesser of someodd evils

Several counterpoints...impotence as in not causing pregnancy is not the same as impotency as in a non-functioning phallic member. You can still get your rocks off, you just aren't making babies. And losing all sperm is bad, but making sure thatyou're sperm doesn't show up again nine months later is good. It's an option. And a less painful and less permanent option than a vasectomy. It's just an option to keep you out of early family life.
