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

16. Your second paragraph is what I was concerned about.

If you're beginning a relationship and you think that you might want kids, then maybe it's a good reason to know.

But if;
a) you don't want kids - ever and
b) finding out that you can't have kids will crash your self esteem

then I don't see how either answer enables you to improve your quality of life.

But like I said, I take a fairly utilitarian approach to things. Do what brings you comfort and peace of mind.

So no, it's not weird. I would say that the answer to that question will have limited utility in your day-to-day life, and as you noted, the potential for harm.
