I'm thinking of getting a vasectomy.
Edit:
Here's the reason behind all of this... First off, I'm not using the little dna droplets very much at the moment and I have no plans to. But I know myself and I know how odd the twists and turns of my life can be. I fully accept the possibility that one day I might just get hot and bothered with someone and through a series of bad and potentially life altering choices, bone. Now I carry protection with me just in case, but this would be yet another line of defense to prevent me from bringing another life into this world that I wouldn't be able to support properly.
And if I ever want to have kids? Well the sperm continue to be produced, and in vitro fertilization is always an option. I won't use this as an excuse to go out and have more sex, it's just something that I feel I should do given my lifestyle and experience. I've had a bit of a scare once, and I'd really rather not have it again... I know that the odds are that it'll never be an issue, but my ego isn't so large enough for me to think I can control everything. Besides, now I'll have another excuse to tell my mother why I don't have any kids yet. =p
Edit 2:
Apparently it's covered by my insurance.
