Would it be weird to want a semen analysis for "peace of mind"?

17. Yes, I agree, no practical purpose to know this.

Maybe it's sort of analogous to the way adopted kids want to find their biological parents. Unless there is a medical reason to know something, it isn't strictly necessary. But, it fulfills that need to just "know". Which is my reason, I just want to know. I've wondered for 36 years about this. A long time to question what is, in some ways, a fundamental marker of manhood. I know, as someone said upstream in the thread, it's NOT really. Yet it is, too. Not as much as say castration would be, but still, I don't think there are many guys who wouldn't be at least a little upset to find out they were infertile if they were not someone who was voluntarily infertile via vasectomy.

Anyway, not something I would go out and do tomorrow. If I do it, though, I would like to do it before my 50th birthday. My life was rough, frankly, my 40's were hell in the last year, so I really think I deserve some peace and happiness in the future. Everyone deserves peace and happiness.
