Have you had a vasectomy or would consider it in the future?

Question

Female birth control options are so invasive and the huge dose of hormones can cause problems. A vasectomy is a 10-30 minute procedure and it can be reversed with decent success rates.

It sounds great. I have found an interesting negative consequence. I made the mistake not keeping it secret.

Many women who are looking for a guy, even if they don't openly talk about it, will not find a sterile man exciting. Sure, no pregnancies to worry about, but deep down many women secretly want to get pregnant with the right guy. Baby rabies...

And never believe a woman who says otherwise. There are women who want and intend to be child-free, until and if they want babies later on, and their decision can change over time. Actions over words.

And scary enough, I went out with one woman who claimed she could not have babies. I wasn't serious about her, and she became a side piece. I was talking to her a few years later and she slipped and said she was worried about getting pregnant with this other guy she was seeing, because he was a loser. I have a great career, and she was gaming me, to drop a kid. Happens all the time. I wasn't sterile when we met. When she found I couldn't have kids, she disappeared from life.

She knew I would ensist on paternity test. Guys, always do that behind her back if she ever claims the baby is yours. Even if you're happily married.

Yea I had a vasectomy because I already had my kids and don’t want anymore lol I love kids don’t get me wrong but my kids are older and I can’t see myself starting over , if I meet a girl that really wants a baby then yes I would
Consider getting a reversal but having a baby again is not on my top to do list considering I already did it , So I am kind of set in my ways , I want to meet a beautiful girl that wants to spoil each other and travel the world I am ok if she already has kids or doesn’t want kids etc. But I would love to meet a girl that just wants to spoil each other , have lots of sex and travel the world and go places I never experienced, You would think finding that girl wouldn’t be hard but sadly in todays world it is

No, I think birth control (when used outside a medical context and are actually a choice) is unnecessary. The people who don't need birth control will use it and those who need it will not.

I dont plan on using any birth control unless it's a IUD, which is still extremely unlikely.

I heard that with vasectomies, the chances of reversal are less than 20% after five years and mastectomies might be equally hard to reverse after a period of time.

Boromir · Answer

Vasectomies are fine for people with a complete childwish. They are not easily reversible, that’s a myth people should really stop promoting. Reversals are almost never reimbursed by medical insurance and can cost up to 20K US$. In addition, if the original vasectomy was more than 10y ago it’s most of the time not even worth trying.

I’m all for shared responsibilities and men taking their share but please show all the parameters honestly. Again, they’re not so easily reversible as you paint it and in addition, up to 6% of men that had a vasectomy end up with chronic pain in their lower abdomen or have pain while ejaculating.

caring__1 · Answer

A vasectomy is a simple procedure, and neither the male nor the female experience anything differently after the vasectomy. The more time that passes after the vasectomy, the less likely it can be reversed. Sperm continue to be produced, but have nowhere to go, so the body starts treating it as something foreign and immediately sets to kill any sperm produced. Once your body gets used to killing sperm, it will continue, even after a reversal.

I can share a warning I wished I knew about before I had my vasectomy. Make sure the doctor makes the incision low on the scrotum. When a penis becomes erect, skin from the scrotum is stretched up onto the shaft. If the incision is made higher on the scrotum, the area of the incision becomes part of the erection, and friction can cause discomfort until the incision is fully healed.

I've thought about it... but I've had a few friends that did it. They all started looking like fat bitches after a few years. So I think something started fucking with them all hormonally. My wife got her tubes tied so I've been capt. creampie since. I've seen her on BC and other women on BC and it fucks with them... I think that is hormones as well. It can take the most loving woman and turn her into the type of bitch you feel like you're walking on egg shells around.

I wished I could just shoot blanks without it fucking with me. I'd be a total slut and just creampie every chick that giggles.

You don't think a vasectomy isn't invasive and can cause issues?

And it isn't always reversible, that is why it is intended to be a permanent form of birth control. They aren't even 100% effective either. There is a chance of it failing. Very unnecessary risk, for something that is equally as effective as wearing a condom.

I'll consider having one done if I know that I'm done having kids. All of these men, especially men in their EARLY 20s, falling for this "be a good guy and get a vasectomy!" bs are insane.

zeitgeist057 · Answer

I wish I had one right now. I looked into it and went to the Dr. for the initial consultation. It's a matter of insurance not paying for it and not having any time right now to recover and also not wanting to pay that $ out of pocket.

If someone offered me a week to recover and a free procedure, I'd sign up this afternoon.

hahahmm · Answer

Nah. The secret to my success in life has been not dating women who treat their bodies like trashcans & urinals. I know a sucker who let his wife talk him into getting cut in exchange for her "allowing" him to buy something he wanted. Fool.

Summeroflove · Answer

And this isn’t invasive? Honestly I probably would not. Decent success rates don’t sound good.

I mean there is pills and condoms that aren’t invasive.

But this is me personally. I don’t make a habit of just sleeping around. So I don’t have to worry about it.

If I was married…. I do want kids so then again still probably not

Andres77 · Answer

I got a vasectomy. My wife tried the thing in her arm but it made her gain weight. Then she tried the iud. Her periods were a major bloody mess. It was stressing her out. We already had two kids so I told her she did enough and I got snipped. I figured it was only fair

Anonymous · Answer

So im actually getting one. Got the appointment set up. Here is the scoop. If you are even thinking about reversing it in the future they won't do it. Why? Because it is meant to be permanent. Reversal is typically thousands of dollars and not covered by insurance. And there is absolutely no guarantee that a reversal will lead to a successful pregnancy. Vasectomies are not considered a temporary form of birth control. And should not be treated as such.

bolverk · Answer

While I have and always will used a condom every-time I've had intercourse that doesn't absolve women from using birth control, and they have over 30 methods that they can use to find one that suits them best, guys only have 4, not in any order, condom, vasectomy, withdrawal, or abstention. If a male pill came on the market it seriously doubt that women would trust any man that said he was using it.

Only a whore dates a man with no intention of marrying and starting a family with him.

Likewise the question itself says a lot about the undesirability of investing time & resources in you for any reason beyond using you as a play thing.

Philyouup · Answer

i had one, to protect my ex wife’s life. it affected me in no way. but the myth of its reversible is false. and it’s expensive as it’s not covered by insurance.

If you get one assume it’s not reversible. period. i heard something like 70% success rate. That means a 30% failure rate. that means 30 guys will never have kids out of every 100. not good odds at all for a “ Temporary solution” to birth control.

tzdc21 · Answer

Vasectomies are not always reversible though. As a matter of fact, the longer you wait to reverse it, the less likely it will be reversed. So it is a bigger risk than you give it credit for.

admles · Answer

Yeah I had one earlier in the year, my fiance and I don't want any more kids and the implant was just messing with her too much.

I had the scalpel-free option, which isn't really reversible, or so my surgeon said, and reversible ones are less and less reversible each year.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I had one after my second child. The first two days felt uncomfortable, and then I lived happily ever after. Just one note: a successful reversal becomes more and more unlikely with time passing.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Negative. Vasectomies are “reversible” procedurally, but less than 50% of reversed vasectomies can healthily father children. Vasectomies themselves are a scam. Men who receive vasectomies are routinely found responsible for children. Ell oh ell!

HighValue · Answer

Never. And it can affect a man's performance ability. Men have a much longer time for being fertile than women do so a man would be giving up many more years of potential if he did that than if a woman did it.

Fireguy17 · Answer

No, because I couldn't have kids. But if things were different then yes, snip away. It would eliminate any of the uncomfortable I'm late conversations.

NathanDavis · Answer

I would go with it... I'm about efficiency and practicality as well

matchrestore · Answer

I'm getting one next month! Looking forward to it.

Twalli · Answer

I have gotten it and the success rate (meaning you can actually get someone pregnant) decreases each year. Also nobody who gets it does so without seeing it as permanent. If you never want kids, get one. It's cheaper in the long run.

Anonymous · Answer

I had one when I was 42. I figured it was no longer possible to have a child get through college before I was 65. It should not be considered reversible, though.

I'm beginning to think that years of drug abuse have left me sterile because I have been nutting in girls since as long as I can remember and nothing no kids

maximumpower · Answer

had one. didn't mind it so much bc didn't consider having more kids. recovery time is no joke - one must take it easy for two full weeks, lest he suffer a bit of pain.

EaterPeter · Answer

Depends, anyone who already have two kids please stop having more however you can. Or we should have a rule of two kids per couple from previous marriages or not.

exitseven · Answer

I have not had one. I had my wife neutered instead.

TroyDT2 · Answer

I was born with CBAVD so a vasectomy is unnecessary.

Havthrills · Answer

I did for a long time. Got it reversed and ready for kids. Sometime maybe

VanguardTitan · Answer

Well i don't want kids at all, so i wouldn't mind vasectomy. But then again, i wouldn't need one since I'm a natural contraceptive by myself 😂

Jamie05rhs · Answer

"Decent" success rates... That's not very convincing.

This_Is_My_Opinion8 · Answer

It's a possibility. In the future after I have kids.

WhiteBoyChill · Answer

I’d get one once I had three kids. Either way I’m never going to ask any woman to use that disgusting shit known as birth control

Anonymous · Answer

if you get a vasectomy will you still be able to nut and it just can't get her pregnant or does nothing come out?

msc545 · Answer

I have considered this since getting a woman pregnant is a huge mess and very expensive.

I'd consider it if the girl was in for me for life.
