Voices: Why Getting a Vasectomy Has Made Me Feel More of a Man
MSN ^ | Chris Mullan

Posted on 11/01/2023 11:31:54 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Hearing the news this week that Wayne Rooney got a vasectomy makes me think of my own decision to go under the knife. If I’m honest, in the three years it’s been since the procedure, I’ve often wondered if it was the right thing to have done. But every time my mind wanders there, I take a moment and, with a clear head, see it as being one of the best and most important decisions of my life.

Already blessed with children from previous relationships, I met my current and forever partner. She also had two children from a previous relationship, so between us we had a larger-than-average family. This is probably not uncommon in a blended-family situation, but the realities of having such a large brood soon became apparent – the logistical obstacles and need for larger vehicles, among a host of other things.

But like plenty of new couples, we definitely both felt what I can only describe as a sort of “urge” that simmered under the surface. I guess it’s one of the most primaeval urges we feel – bringing a new life into the world with the person you love.

“clear head” — interesting self-description given the context

If he actually did have a vasectomy he isn’t much of a man to begin with.

The purpose of intercourse is procreation

Song of Solomon disagrees...

Intercourse also has the purpose of the union between man and wife but this does not take away the biologically undisputed purpose of procreation. Wishing to enjoy the pleasures of intercourse while denying its end and responsibilities is inherently selfish and a revolt against God’s order of creation. If you were to take away this purpose you would have no argument against homosexuality. Indeed, it has been the acceptance of birth-control that has led to the acceptance of homosexuality.

Psalm 127: 3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

God, who created sex, says it is for pleasure as well…

False. God made them male and female, blessed the Union between a man and woman, and has condemned homosexuality.

How?

Someone had it in for him.

biologically, the ONLY reason for the sex act is to produce children...the pleasure was just thrown in to get humans to actually do it....

the Catholic Church before Vat 2 instructed that sex was for the production of children, that was it...then it changed to "and for the mutual pleasure" of the two married people , paraphrasing here....

if you really really think about it, our culture all started down hill when sex was not connected to having babies...the pill, abortion, divorce....the totally shameless paganistic society we so much detest, at least I do....

We have no disagreement if we keep that pleasure within marriage. The pleasure is what leads to the union of man and wife. It is not a question of either/or but of both/and. God made the marital act pleasurable in order to encourage it but the biology established by God shows that its purpose is procreation. What say you of sodomy within marriage? Some find it, too, pleasurable.

As he has condemned the spilling of the seed. Vasectomies and birth-control are just high-tech Onanism.
