Is it a consideration?

Speaking as a recent snip-"ee",  does the fact that a potential playmate has had a vasectomy a plus, a minus, or doesn't even factor into consideration when evaluating a new partner in the lifestyle?

Doesn’t matter. 
 

Mrs. Shy had tubes tied. Pregnancy is not a concern. STIs are. No bareback here. 
 

if you harp on it, as if strongly hinting that you are v-safe and don’t think you should wear a condom, we probably won’t meet.

 

we met a couple online. Right out of the gate the guy was like “I’m v-safe and she hates condoms.” We bowed out of the chat quickly and never met. 
 

Just our personal experience.

Condoms cut down on sensation and STIs. You make your choices…

 

Even though condoms are hit or miss for HPV and HSV, they can’t hurt and must afford some protection. And they work against other STIs. We go condom for intercourse.

It is a non factor!  Condoms are going to be used regardless.  Guys seem to think that saying they are snipped is going to allow them to not have to use a condom.  Wrong.

Like everything else in your life…..and in the lifestyle.

 

Read, research and above all deep open conversation with your significant other….then decide what is best for you both.  Notice I said for you both.

 

Do not force your choice on anyone else as they most likely have chosen what is best for them.  And practice honestly what you both have chosen together.

 

There may or may not be exceptions….that is up to the two of you, only.

 

In our over two decades of the lifestyle we hosted as well as have attended private groups, parties and clubs.  90% of our experiences have been in a closed or semi closed/private setting.  We tend to most often play openly with those we are friends with as opposed to first meets, stranger or one offs.  Just our way.  
 

As a result most all of our experiences have been raw play with what boundaries might exist.  We have had so very hot times.

 

we both are fixed as a matter of choice.  As a result we have both enjoyed some added adventure with those that chose to play freely….younger as well as older…as a safe couple.    It is not why we chose to be fixed…..but a lovely result.  The Queen chose to not have any more children years ago.  I chose many years later while in the lifestyle that I did not want to have kids with anyone other then her.  Having a number of younger playmates that could become pregnant and a few that were planning to but wanted to remain active in our circle of friends it made great sense.

 

So with all that said yes it has been an asset of sorts because our activities are rarely every with strangers being fixed had taken open doors….and open the further.   But not the reason to travel that road.

How (short of producing a medical report) can you prove to someone that you HAVE been snipped? Now a condom cannot be lied about...either it's there or it isn't. Also, as already mentioned, the risk of pregnancy is only one reason to require a condom. Wrap that rascal or it's a wrap.

I would never depend on a partner for birth control, I take responsibility of my own body.
