I can't deny that this has sparked my curiosity... Completely outside of Fab, of course and I know it's not something you would usually just ask someone.

Out of everyone I know, family/friends, etc. I know 6 white men who have had the snip, but not a single black guy.

Obviously I haven't met everyone and people are free to use whatever contraception they see fit but I have wondered if it's maybe a culture difference.

Statistically speaking you need a bigger sample. Try asking people you meet in the street

Can't see anything on UK research just yet but found this on an American study website:

"11.4% of men aged 30–45 years reported having a vasectomy, representing approximately 3.6 million American men. While 14.1% of white men had a vasectomy, only 3.7% of black men did.

After accounting for reproductive history, partner, and demographic characteristics, black men were less likely to rely on vasectomy for contraception"

Being from a caribbean background I believe I can comment.

There is a small amount of self inflected stigma amongst black males about having the snip, mostly the fear of letting someone tinker with their tinkle and maybe a little fear of pain.

But I have a fear of fathering a small football team and the cost of that is attached with children. So I had the snip and know of one other black male who has buy few an far between.
