Immortality! And all it will cost are your "family jewels"

[Ironic Pirate]

Getting sterile? Probably.

Never having sex/maturbate again though? That´s a little harder.

Wouldn't it be less hard?

Ba dump tish!

 

[James Raynor]

OP you do realize people can still have sex even without their jewels right? They just cannot impregnate anyone.

 

[Thaliur]

Would you take the offer? Would you take it if it instead came not just at the cost of being able to have children, but at the cost of never having sex again?

Sterility? No problem, at least not if I already have children at the time of treatment.


No sex at all? I'm not sure how that woudl happen, but I assume whatever destroys the ability to have sex also removes the desire to do, so that would be OK too.

 

[BlackStar42]

I can still screw, right? In that case, cool. If I can't then no.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

I'd get married, have at least 2+ kids, and THEN drink the elixer.

 

[Random berk]

This actually seems like the best immortality deal I've ever heard of. Have a kid or two first, get the treatment, then you still have kids, you can have lots of sex, do all the kick ass stuff you can possibly do with an indefinite lifespan, and when you've finally, truly done it all, you could try skydiving with no parachute. Now thats getting the best of a good deal.

 

[Woodsey]

Can I still have sex and wank (and keep my balls)?

Then sure, if I did decide I wanted to be immortal.

 

[DR.reeve]

i would go for it

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

I don't want to be immortal or anything. With or without the... whatever euphemism you can come up with.

Agreed. Living forever is a curse, not a blessing; having to watch your friends and loved ones grow old and die, while you look just as young as you did 80 years ago, or 1,000 for that matter? That's not heaven, it's hell. Now let's say that everyone gets this elixer, so nobody dies of old age. It's still hell, because now there will be no new children and no new ideas. It'll be the 1950's without the promise of the baby boomers growing up and forming a counter culture, or the elves in Middle Earth without humans to take over once they eventually get bored and start committing suicide. Hell, it'll be the 1950's without so much as a single child, forget whether they might grow up or not. No thank you.

So, no disadvantages then...sure...pass me the knife.

You can still have sex after a vasectomy.

 

[animefreak52]

What's the point of Immortality? A longer life wouldn't bring much excitement, there's the whole issue of loved ones dying, and all that good stuff. And doesn't getting a vasectomy take away the chance of having kids? why wouldn't you be able to have sex?

 

[Dfskelleton]

Pass. Immortality has a catch: I'll be bored with life. Once you've done everything, there's practically no need to keep living.

 

[Sneeze]

The vasectomy thing doesn't bother me, what I question is would I even want to live forever?

I guess if all my family and friends took the treatment too so we would all live forever then sure, but I wouldn't wanna live forever while everyone around me dies.

But yeah, being gay my chances of having biological kids aren't to high anyways so no big loss there.

 

[Thundero13]

Sure I would definatly do it and get a vasectomy, not like i'm going to make any babies anyway, as for never having sex i'd like to try it first to see what it's like.
