Sure there is: sterilization. Get the snip, no more babies. Sleeping with just anybody is idiotic, yes, but the rest of it is simply your opinion.

Due to the the sexual drive, it has always happened with both males and females, but is more common with men. There are men who categorically state that the only reason they ever date is to have sex. Most people, both men and women, have needs for affection, companionship, etc.

Obviously, if a man never has a need for affection in a relationship with a woman ("I only date to get laid"), then that very human need for affection is either nonexistent in him, underdeveloped, denied, or being met by........men.

True. But how many single guys in their late teens and twenties are really getting vasectomies?

As somebody who has two male family members and several friends whose lives were completely, utterly derailed by some one-night stand ringing them up and saying, "Well, I'm pregnant," I can tell you the consequences are not worth it. I mean, hey, if scribbling out twenty-two years of child support checks to a woman you barely knew is your idea of fun, then go for it. That way, you'll serve as a warning to others.
An "emotional attachment" to a sex partner is not the same as "pregnancy" and child support. If the woman had no feelings for the guy before the event, being pregnant would not cause her to love him. "It takes two to tangle" and the child, however, must be supported.

How many can find doctors WILLING to do vasectomy or can afford it? If I could get one now, I would have long done it.

But you miss my point. After a bout or two of riding the baloney pony, somebody is going to get attached some way. It's almost inescapable. So that girl that you hooked up with three or four times last month when you both had nothing better to do last month starts texting you and asking, "Why didn't you call me this weekend? What's up?" It happens. All. The. Time.

Your friendly urologist will take care of that. Surely you can come up with a couple of grand to have it done. The procedure takes all of fifteen minutes. And the worst discomfort is when they wash it with cold water. Jeez. Couldn't they at least warm that saline up?

great point that few seem to get. it's not like FWB is going to the nearest dark alley for a dirty raw shag with whoever is hanging around after their last bender

Indeed. The scenario above doesn't even rate a FB label - as there's no "buddy" involved.
