Does a man getting a vasectomy make him less of a man?


I had a vasectomy 25 years ago, and almost immediately regretted it. I would have never done it knowing what I know now. The good part is no more kiddies, and I was ready for that.
The bad part is I had some of the major side effects:
1. Post surgical infection of both incision points. I had abscesses the size of a nickel on both sides. Took 60 days for them to clear.
2. My balls ached for at least a year
The sad part was my urologist didn't give a shit, and no one from his office would return my calls.
3. Then there is the primal/psychological aspect of it. Anyway you look at it, you are infertile. You know it, and your female knows it. Rational or not, that fact sits in the back of your head. In college I had a girlfriend were we intentionally timed sex so that she was constantly carrying my live load in her womb for over six months. It was a fetish, obviously but we both really got off on it. Primal.
Now, my wife was great about it, and appreciated not having to get a tubal ligation, as her gynecologist was leaning on her hard to get off BC pills. I'm pretty sure it didn't make any difference to her, but it did to me.
I looked into it because what better than fucking any chick I want raw and at least not worry about the 18 year long VD... then research and anecdotal evidence rolled in. I guess at first you get a test boost, then it drops off. Then years after my 2 friends got it, started even looking gay so to speak. Sounding like it and the whole thing. So I decided to just keep wearing rubbers for life and getting my only raw action from sluts fresh on their bc, because they lose interest in friendly relationships with men after being on it for a while. My frinds feminized, yet bald like a steroid junkie. Fuck that shit... that's just how I feel about it.
No point in doing something to fuck more if it's just going to make you not want to fuck at all in 3 years.
Absolutely not. If a man is done having kids (or doesn't want any to begin with), it's actually a very clever thing to do. Getting a vasectomy is a really quick and easy procedure. And if you're in a monogamous relationship (and neither of you have STDs), you don't have to buy any condoms or pills anymore. And considering how bad the pill can be for a woman's body, I think getting a vasectomy is the least a dude could do if he doesn't want to use any condoms.
Still funny
Having a vasectomy doesn't make you more or less of a man. It is just a way of preventing unwanted pregnancy and an effective one. I think it can be a sensible choice if a couple are done having kids or don't want any. Then you wouldn't have to worry about birth control.

I had a vasectomy but only cuz I was done making babies , I would just look at my ex and she would get pregnant lol so I am glad I had it done considering my kids are older now and for me to start all over isn’t really on top of my list , I just want to find a girl that wants to spoil each other , do things together and have tons of sex , so I honestly think it made me more of a man cuz now I can have sex without having the fear of getting her pregnant I can focus on making her have an amazing orgasm
I guess I'm the decanting opinion here. Why would anyone ever want to do this? Dislike children? Dislike of women?
Side effects doctors never tell you about is the weight gain and the lack of sex drive. There is also more than enough evidence that when a person has this operation, they have a 1 in 2 chance of contracting a life threatening disease, prostate cancer being the most prevalent.
It's just plain unhealthy and when a woman learns that you have done this, I'll bet her interest in having you as a life partner goes way down.
You and me are the decanting opinions actually
Lol.
Does a hysterectomy makes a woman less of a woman?
I know, I know, different scenario of course, as a vasectomy is usually voluntarily and a hysterectomy is only done when it's needed. So from that point of view not comparable as the reasons to do so are different. But the outcome is the same: the inability to produce offspring.
I think vasectomy is quite common for men who already had multiple kids and don't want any more kids. It's a simple surgery, no big deal. In my opinion, the ability (or not) to produce offspring doesn't define how manly a man is.
That's one of the dumbest things I've heard. Some people truly believe that a vasectomy means your balls get cut off. No, no, don't think so. Doesn't effect you testosterone levels at all. So if you feel that way as a man you are obviously insecure with your masculinity, vasectomy or not.
It has no affect on sexual performance in any way, he has normal erections, climaxes the same and he still ejaculates.
You cannot tell any difference... there just are no sperm in the semen.
He just cannot get anyone pregnant.
Great option for unihibited sex for a couple that already has kids or for a guy who knows he never wants kids.
I've always been curious of the medical consequences, but never thought less of any man who's had the procedure done. In fact, for some, I think more highly of them for being responsible. My uncle Joe, HUGE pussy hound, never wanted children and never changed his mind slightly about it over the years. He got a vasectomy in his 20's and never looked back. I can respect that. He knew he'd be a terrible father.
I would just mostly caution His Ability to Tag Chicks whenever with one less concern and present No Condom Law which could contract a Little Boy Penis Problem if he's Offering his Presant like A Gift to all women... yes easily Can BeCUM a Ego Sad Move with lacking True Responsibility and Cares for others or himself... just a thought,,, without fear can lead men to Uncaution Winds... fuck I don't know :)
Not at all. It's smart if he doesn't want kids (especially since I've known some awful women who try to lie about being on the pill, poke holes in condoms, etc. to try to get pregnant by a guy they know doesn't want kids).
@lexyissexy23
Thank you so very much for asking this. It’s interesting most of the females are reacting as if it’s nothing.
I had my vasectomy done 8 months ago. It didn’t hurt that much aside from some discomfort afterwards.
The responses I got from my male friends were very very different. A few of them absolutely felt I was giving away my manhood. I do not feel this way but they expressed their feelings vividly.
I said below
Would never ask my guy too have one I'd much rather protect in other ways
There is no weight gain, no lack of sex drive and certainly no increase in prostate cancer. The procedure is very fast and rather simple. I do not regret my choice as it was the responsible thing to do considering I have a very active sex life. Either way you’re untitled to your opinion and I respect that
I don't like it
Yeah the practice guy
It's not for me and that's fine
Absolutely not. Unless you think women getting a hysterectomy or their tubes tied makes them less of a women? It's a nice an easy way to avoid unwanted pregnancy's. Certainly easier than what a women needs to go through to get sterilized
Only in someone else's eyes. Have had one for years & had never really looked back. Sometimes when I am with a girl I say I am going to put my seed into her babymaker & watch it grow just to add to the trepidation of having unprotected sex.
They usually say do it to me! Strange...
No it just means he can make choices for himself,,,
Huh?
@bklynbadboy1 I know
didn’t read the question right sorry
No worries
I had it after my second kid.
It made no difference in my sex-life; frequency, 'performance', sex drive.
No regrets.
To cut off sperm production does not change character traits - I am the same man that I always have been.
Not at all , Testosterone is still being produced just like any other day, everything still works, just like before!
PS: if you or someone you know are thinking about this , tell them to Do as the Doctor prescribes, " had a good friend, go through the procedure, and worked too much the day after, and got a blow job , from his girlfriend, got infected, balls swelled 2× their normal size, and he was In excruciating pain for 4 more days! ' "
No it just means he doesn't want any kids. There are numerous reasons why not enough money no interest doesn't like kids doesn't have the time physically/mentally cannot take care of kids.
VASECTOMY is a tough procedure for most of men to do. but it doesn't make him a less of a man from the outside but he probably feels depressed a little about all will ok.
Note: We men doesn't consider weakness or just lack of some money or anything else is makes a man less exception to that if he doesn't stand with his family or close people when he's needed!! I guarantee that he is not a man at all
No. My uncle played hockey before messing up his foot during a sailboat race (hockey was for fun, sailboat tacd was professional, but he loved doing it). He had a vascetomy almost as soon as he got married because neither he nor his wife wanted kids. Most people who play hockey are pretty manly.
Hell no. If you already have your kids and do not want more, a vasectomy is a real option. Also, this prevents a woman from trying to trap a man by pregnancy.
Here is an awful factoid: Did you know a married woman can get an abortion without the consent or even informing her husband, BUT a married man has to get WRITTEN consent from his wife to get a vasectomy?
No. That's like saying a woman who can't have a baby is less of a woman. Then again vasectomies can be reversed I heard so it doesn't matter.
True
Correction: after a short while, yes perhaps. But the longer you wait the less likely you will be 're-activated'.
@andreasderjuengere oh ok. Thank you, I didn't realize.
cheers :D
Yes, can be reversed but no guarantees on viability.
welll... it removes certain responsibilities from his life... or future responsibilities... so it's possible to view him as less of a man... but a lot of people really shouldn't reproduce... maybe not a high percentage tho... so they might be doing the gene pool a solid by decomming themselves
Age is A GIANT factor. Under 25 yr olds feel dif than over 35 yr olds. I'm only 33 but my tubes were tied at age 22 bc I knew for a fact I didn't want kids of my own. Lso am I less of a woman bc of my personal preference?
No @Peanut127 that absolutely does bot make you less of a woman, in fact from what I can (for example, your delightful poll + lovely comments on the sexual benefits of coconut oil) show you are a verrry sexual girl !
@pierre7i ha! U think that ;) I havn't had sex since late 2016. not bc I can't catch a guy (obviously, bc of questions lol) it's bc of medical reasons, I can't walk nor stand nor be put in sexual positions. I'm just very open minded and blunt honesty. I'm not trying to be a slut for it. I'm just real. Iam me :) but yea, I Def get along with guys better lolol American guys...
No, since his functions remain normal except for the ability to impregnate a woman as there is no more sperm in his cum. When a man looks at himself less after a vasectomy, it's just a psychological issue.
Not in my opinion. The ability to father a child is only a plus if you're looking to father a child. If not, its a hindrance. My wife and I are deciding if we want another child or not, and if the answer is no, I will be getting a vasectomy.
not to me... makes it easier on me not to have to take BC pills and use an IUD...
and no worries ever of him getting a girl prego!!
Nope. It makes him more enjoyable. Also, they can reverse it.
It doesn't, but not sure if that's something I'll ever want to do.
I would never do that to a guy
I wouldn't want him to
Yes I'd view him different
Just being honest
No no way. Responsible way to go if you dont want kids.
Although in my experience even guys who 100% don't want kids are too scared to go through with it because of the pain
I was worried about this before getting mine, but my doctor assured me it wouldn't make any difference.
I'm not sure if it's the same for all men but my experience has been great. The procedure itself wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and it hasn't affected my masculinity or sex drive at all.
No way. Getting a vasectomy only means he doesn't want to father any children in the future. He can always adopt a child if he wants.
Nope.. I have a few guy friends that got clipped.. They are single, have money, and like to hook up.. Most of the time they do this so no one can come out and say xyz got me pregnant..
Don't do it dude
I dont plan to, I want kids.
Cool you will be a good dad
Depends on what your end-game is. I want a kid of my own someday, so for me, this is a possible deal breaker.
No I don’t think that at all but I would prefer my partner not to do it since I want a ton of kids 😁😅
That's why your calle Poppy marie, because you want to pop babies 🤣
@TonyMetal_1986 yes indeed I do! 😂😂
Nothing wrong about it if you love to be a housewife 😁
No, frankly it makes him more of a man for making responsible reproductive choices.
Now if the medical system would actually make vasectomies available to single men without children...
No. It doesn't.
I however can't wait until men get a good option though. Condoms suck, but vasectomies are too permanent, and I can't trust women to take care of the pill.
I hope vasalgel gets release soon.
No i am sure there was a reason why they remove is jewels but as a friend tend to say "Any idiot with a cock can make a Child but it takes a man to be a good father" it is not the jewels size but the character the person that makes the man
Why would it? Better have a vasectomy than a child you aren't allowed to see, much less be a parent to.
Why would it? Does a hysterectomy make a woman less of a woman?
No not at all esp if your in a place in your life where you know you absolutely don't want any more kids
Plus it's an easier method of birth control and it cheaper to have reversed if you change your mind
I really don’t see how it would, so no. Personality means much more.
Of course not but I don't think I would pursue a relationship because I want one or two kids
Does testicular cancer make someone less of a man? Does ovarian/uterine cancer make someone less of a woman? If an orchiectomy or hysterectomy does not lessen one, why would a vasectomy?
Yes, females have 100% of parental rights, so should be 100% responsible for any pregnancy they get. Why should men forfeit their ability to reproduce, when they have no rights to begin with.
I’m not defined by penis there is more to me then just my dick
If a man can't shoot a steamy hot load for his girl then he's definitely less of a man I mean he might aswell just fry His balls in a wok with fish sauce and give it to a small Chinese guy to eat and cause another virus outbreak
No. It makes him a responsible man. If a guy is sure he does not want more kids (or doesn't want any) then it's a perfectly fine option.
Nope, it's smart and taking responsibility. If he doesn't want to have kids or feels he's fathered enough it's a wise decision
If you get your tubes tied does it make you less of a girl?
Kinda
No more need for condoms after the STD test. What's "not manly" about that? Same goes for women tying their tubes.
No , this guys is the man. He knows what he wants in life and does it. Being a man isn't not only about getting a woman pregnant
i wonder if anyone that had this done regretted it and was like shit i want a kid now
Good question
Excuse me?
😂😂😂😂
Does a woman getting a ligation of the tubes make her less of a woman? And, by the way, you know vasectomy is reversible right? And more effective to not have kids than the female procedure?
The real question here is: why do you think vasectomy make us less of men?
It'd make him more of a man
Does a woman getting her eggs frozen make her less of a woman?
Does a woman getting a birth control surgery make her less of a woman?
if "being able to procreate" is part of your definition of "manlyness", then yeah.
Of course not. It is the snipping of the vas deferens not castration.
Nope after I have one or two kids I wouldn't mind if my husband got a vasectomy ha but he won't do that
I think that no. But perhaps females who know about his sterilisation will have less Funk to kick his balls because he is sterile anyway...
No, that's ridiculous.
Phrases like "Less of a man", "Slut" and such are nonsensical arguments. They serve no purpose except to delay progress
Well the thing is it would make me less it’s like why have something that’s never gonna be utilized. I for one know for a fact I will never have children.
