Since I’m lucky enough to have a wife that accommodates me in all of the “other” ways, I’ll keep my leg and give up the cooch. And we addressed the pregnancy thing when I got that vasectomy. ---

> [@miss\_elizabeth](#): > > If the goal is to avoid pregnancy (because abortion is unavailable) why _couldn’t_ you have other types of sex? That doesn’t make any sense. As my daddy told me, “You can’t get pregnant in your mouth.” You’re dad was a smart guy. [I wish all parents had such a healthy attitude toward sex](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwpqJ_ntRSU), even if it was a joke. ---

I chose “something else the OP didn’t think of.” I voted to continue having sex and keep my leg. ---

This is beyond silly to me. I generally prefer handjobs and oral to PIV anyway. ---

I answered PIV assuming the OP meant that I could still _attract_ women on the same level I do now. Because man, I really do love that vagina. A woman once asked me: “What does sex feel like for a guy?” I told her it’s like having a little piece of heaven wrapped around your penis. I’ll be in my bunk. ---

Heh amusing there are still positive votes even with the op question so absurdly loaded. I still think a much more interesting question is “no sex ever of any kind (total celibacy for life) vs. your leg”. 😉 ---

I voted to keep my limbs. My choice would have been the same even if the price were never having sex of any kind ever again. ---

I’m okay with option B as I like my limbs. Also, you could have a child by artificial means. ---

The OP’s missing the option for “I’d happily give up a limb to start having sex and continue to have it regularly” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-men-mostly-sex-or-your-leg/523909.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-men-mostly-sex-or-your-leg/523909.md?page=3)
