While I have 2 kids already and we have no plans for more I think mentally I could not handle the notion that I am walking around shooting blanks. I know it's sounds silly but I would feel inferior or less of a man. TBH....I could handle not having sex no problem rather than go for the snip.

I don't know… maybe my idea of being a man isn't tied up with the notion of whether the sperm I produce makes it to the outside world but to me, it seems a weird benchmark to have for your masculinity. Being a good father to the kids I have would be a more important factor in what makes me feel more like a man than hypothetically still being able to have more kids I don't want.

But whats the point in messing with hormones when there is no need. As a working mother she has enough responsibility on her hands and does not need her hormones all over the place!!
