Inspired by this thread in MPSIMS.
If it was available, and as accurate as the current OTC pregnancy tests, would you use it? Or even have it available as an option?
If I were a man, I would consider this kind of test to be the equivalent of hiring a private investigator to spy on my partner. IMHO, to do either of these things indicates a serious level of mistrust. I sure wouldn’t do it routinely.
That would put Maury Povich out of business.
LOL! One can only hope.
Amen to that. 
But you would do it.
Only if I had a very good reason to believe that my mate had been unfaithful to me.
Aww, give Maury a break. When he’s not doing, “I’m 100% sure you’re a cheating bastard” and “I have no idea who my baby daddy is. Seriously, NO CLUE” episodes, the show is acutally quite good.
The only part of being unemployed that I miss is the Maury show.
Slut - “I’m not a slut!”
Targeted Slob - “You is a slut! I ain’t da daddy”
Maury - “The 9th Paternity test we’ve done shows…”
<commercial break>
Maury - “You are NOT the father.”
TS - “YES!!! YOU WHORE! I told you I aint da daddy, you nothing but a HO!”
<Slut runs off stage crying, Maury follows to console the slut>
Priceless television. 15 minutes of this, and you realize that your life, even unemployed and watching this trash, is still better than the bums on that show!
Can I ask a serious question, Quickie?
You’re not…concerned, are you?
My daughter looks just like me and has every dominant trait that I have so I am not too worried about that one. OTOH, if I ever had a short son with a big penis, and was good at sports then I may have to head down to the drugstore.
I think there may be a legitimate reason to do it if it was known your partner cheated, the relationship was on the rocks and if you don’t have a close relationship with the child.
I absolutely think that if the child is born, you have bonded as its father and the relationship with the child’s mother isn’t in jeopardy, taking this test could only be a very bad thing.
I’ve known some men who thought that finding out the truth would help them, only to realise that finding out the truth meant losing the children they loved. If a relationship with the child is something you want, no matter whether they’re your child, and you’re willing to support them financially…then no, don’t take a test.
Sometimes being a daddy is about more than genetics.
I help people fill out their paperwork before paternity tests. Sometimes I feel like begging these families not to take the tests, or at least, giving serious thought to what will happen if the answer isn’t what they want it to be.
The tests work best if samples are obtained from the mother as well as the child and alleged father. What if mother’s not willing to go along?
Furthermore, the results aren’t going to do anyone any good in court unless you have plenty of proof that the samples really came from the actual participants.
Thanks for asking but no, not at all. 
My kids are totally mine to a fault.
I just picked up a random thread of thought and ran with it.
I had another thought… I’ve got a built in paternity test. My family has a distinctive genetic marking that is expressed in all of my Mother’s family. My aunts, uncles, and cousins all have the same mark. My nieces (sister’s kids) have it too.
What is it? A crooked set of “ring” toes. Apparently it’s called a “Curley toe deformity.” Discussed here
Though I had no question in my mind that the new Butlerette was my daughter even prior to her birth, I often joked (to the dismay of Mrs. Butler) that if it had straight toes, off to the genetics lab the tests would go!
The 3rd picture I took of her was of her cute little crooked toes.
Well, let’s see - I have had a vasectomy, and both my kids are adopted.
Don’t think I am gonna learn anything I don’t already know.
