Figleaf points out that the success numbers on vasectomy reversals may be biased and that vasectomies are probably actually a good mechanism for young men to use for temporary birth control.

I need to dig up the post I made on The Well from 1993 when I had my vasectomy done. I'll probably revisit that when I post about my reversal (November 2007) but that won't come until I've confirmed it's success.

I think what Don Mitchell is proposing is that that's the reason porn is loathed as a cultural phenomenon, but, yeah, I'm not sure his hypothesis makes complete sense. Still processing the notion.
