Vasectomy? Yay or Nay?

[trigjones]

Ok, I am hoping that I can get some feedback from guys in their later 20's, early 30's that have had this done...

So, for starters, I am 27, turning 28 in 6 months. I've never been married, or came even close to the idea, and I've dated a lot, had a couple of long term relationships, as long as 4 years. I am very outgoing, not a shut in, and have a stable career, etc. No strange living in my mom's basement tendencies. I have never had an interest in kids. I like 'em, and they like me. I have that whole nurturing instinct, but don't ever want to deal with the responsibility. I decided at 17 I didn't want kids, and haven't changed my mind for the last decade.

Babies, especially, gross me the F out. I think they are one of the ugliest things on the planet behind manatees. I don't think there is a "miracle of childbirth", you had sex, that's the result. 18-25 years of responsibility. I'd rather live a simple life of just me and my girl, or wife if it comes to that. I want to explore the world, and have all the free time I want with my partner.

I never want to travel to Disneyland, or drop my kid off at their first day of school. All that sounds really great for some people, but like a waste of time and money for me. I don't need to relive those experiences, and I am 100% positive if I never have kids, I won't regret making that choice.

If I did have kids, however, I would adopt. And only adopt. I think that its selfish to reproduce when there are kids out there in shitty foster homes that need good parents.

The main reason I don't want kids are...
A. I hear this a lot. "I am good looking, so I want to have a kid because they will be cute/hot." I hear this reason a lot from women. I don't really care what my genes + someone else's will create.
B. I don't need someone to carry on the family name, plenty of Joneses out there.
C. Because I wasn't raised in a very good family environment, quite the opposite, I don't think I would be able to provide a good foundation for a kid to grow up normal.


So, are there any guys out there that have normal lives, ie job, hobbies, and a wife that passed up raising a family and feel good about it? Regrets, thoughts, anything.... I have my opinion, but since I am making an appt this month to get snipped, I want to make sure I have as many viewpoints as possible.
