    By far, one of the best guys interviewed. Thoroughly enjoyed the candid perspectives from John. This is real quality.

    Wow! Please have another episode with John on his take to not wanting a child. Would love to hear that because I personally do not want to have a child too. But it is still quite a taboo because it seems like a normal thing to create a family when you get married.
    Btw, great conversation! Love the openness between both Sonia and John to keep the conversation flowing smoothly and safely!

      With regards to your statement, I agree with it wholeheartedly. As you say, it's in the past so it shouldn't matter. However, to some, and its mostly women, IT IS very important because you or her can't possibly be together if that happened or one did that etc. I would understand if one was a murderer or a lifetime criminal, however, this isn't so most of the time.

    great ep but kind of surprising that sonia immediately assumed john meant he didn’t want kids “yet”, vs just not at all. kind of a strange thing to jump to conclusions to unless you’re from the boomer generation hahah

    John feels that it is taboo for questions about one's past relationships and family issues to be spoken about on a first date, and is ready to go for vasectomy in five years, but is ironically not fine with abstaining from sex before marriage. Doesn't make sense to me. Why not practice absteinence or even better, not be in a relationship to begin with.
