It is each individual's responsibility to themselves to do what they feel necessary to not become pregnant, not someone else's responsibility.
I cannot be upset with a man who chooses not to get snipped. But I CAN choose not to swing with him if I feel it's too much risk for me. It is my choice, my decision, and I would never feel someone else is ruining my fun or the options I have because they have chosen not to go the surgical route to keep themselves, and others, from becoming pregnant. If I were still menstruating, I'd have options I would take to protect myself from pregnancy. And one choice I would have is not to swing at all.
Fortunately, I was already past menopause when we began swinging. My husband was snipped 20 years ago when I got off birth control pills and we decided we didn't ever want to have children. If he hadn't been snipped back then, he would have before we started swinging, because he would feel it is his responsibility to keep himself from becoming a father.
