These single women only date men who’ve had a vasectomy: ‘Vasect-yummies’
Gen Z women want their men tall, hot and cut — but they’re not talking chiseled arms and abs.
While swiping through dating apps like Tinder and Hinge, Quinn Finite, a 25-year-old content creator, is looking for a guy with that special something.
And in the brunette’s case, that “something” is a vasectomy.
“I love [men with] vasectomies,” the sex and lifestyle influencer from Canada, told The Post. “I often refer them as ‘vasect-yummies.’”
In October 2020, she made a personal vow to only date men who’d undergone the cut — a form of male birth control in which the vas deferens is severed, virtually eliminating the supply of sperm to semen. According to the Cleveland Clinic, approximately 50 million men have had a vasectomy, and more than 500,000 men in the US elect to have vasectomies each year.
Online, she boldly professed her taste for snipped suitors to her 368,000 digital followers, noting that fellas who haven’t gone under the knife automatically end up on her dating chopping block.
And Finite’s decision to limit her love life to the expanding cluster of clipped hunks was made in an effort to reduce the global population, which, at the time, was around 7.8 billion people.
“I don’t ever plan on having kids,” added Finite, who chose not to disclose her exact location for privacy purposes. “I was never drawn to that … And I don’t have any thanks to vasectomies.”
But luckily for Finite, as well as the women who make up the over 904 million TikTok viewers of the viral #Vascetomy hashtag, Gen Z and millennial men are more than happy to comply.
In New York City, urologist Alex Shteynshlyuger told The Post that calls for vasectomies from younger men soared by more than 500% at his Midtown practice.
And the sudden rise in demand didn’t stop there.
In fact, a June 2023 study on vasectomy trends by researchers from the University of Chicago found that the recent boost in vasectomy rates was most prominent among men with no children, men with romantic partners over the age of 35, single men and guys between the ages of 18 to 24.
A February 2023 study led by researchers from the Urological and Kidney Institute of the Cleveland Clinic, too, found that men under age 30, as well as childless men, are significantly more likely to seek a consultation for a vasectomy. The analysts credited the uptick in interest to the US Supreme Court’s June 2022 decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade — a federal ruling that once protected abortion rights.
“There was a significant increase in childless men pursuing vasectomy after the legal ruling,” read the study. “We hypothesize that both single and partnered men who have decided not to have further offspring now feel it necessary to take reproductive autonomy into their own hands.”
Immediately following the controversial overturn, a report from wellness site Innerbody Research recorded a 99% increase in the number of daily internet searches for vasectomies. The data also found that searches for both “is a vasectomy reversible” and “how much is a vasectomy” increased by 250%.
On social media, bold hipsters even began sharing footage of their procedures with their TikTok fans. A spokesperson for Tinder told the New York Times that mentions of the phrase “vasectomy” in dating profiles surged by more than five times in 2022 compared to 2021.
And ladies with discriminating predilections for sliced guys, such as Finite, couldn’t be more pleased.
“At first I thought excluding non-vasectomized men would dry up my dating pool,” she told The Post.
“[But] men are quite receptive to my preference, both in-person and online, which I’m ultimately grateful for,” continued Finite, who, despite finding a dating pool of dudes who don’t mind the slice, is currently single.
Cheyanne Rollins, an online dater who began enforcing a “nipped men only” rule in her love life back in June 2022, tells The Post that a vasectomy is a dating requirement she refuses to abandon — namely for the sake of her own health.
“It’s unfair that women have to go through so much to [prevent pregnancy] because there are so many negative side effects to birth control,” said Rollins, 25, a customer service specialist from Indianapolis. “When I was on the pill I got a cyst in my breast and gained a lot of weight.”
“A [vasectomy] is just a simple cut, nothing else.”
And she, like Finite, feels the snip makes men sexier.
“A man with the cut is so attractive,” said Rollins. “He’s taking responsibility and not recklessly impregnating everyone — that’s hot.”
