maybe dumb question but do men ever think about freezing their sperm? like do men think about fertility? even if sperm can regenerate (eggs can't) sperm quality similarly declines with age. freezing eggs can cost $30k+ (process + storage), but freezing sperm is maybe $500 total — and nowhere near as invasive.

Nope. Never had a conversation with basically anyone about kids, fertility, or even family planning really. There’s no zeitgeist about worrying about having kids at all (at least as an American male) and tbh I was shocked when i found out how much women have to think through that.

interesting, thanks. So how do you think about kids and family planning? or is the thought usually prompted and guided by a significant other (or a mother urging)?

Historically via SO mostly, but working on actively taking on more of the thought labor because I understand the hidden burden of things like that.
