Got one when I turned 40, one of the best things I’ve ever done. Women love it, no condoms, just creampies all day. (Obviously, still get tested for STDs) Don’t have to worry about kids.
Didn’t even hurt, the worst part was smelling my jizz tubes being burnt shut. Had a dull pain for a day or two, that was it. And insurance paid for it!
Don’t ruin your life with an accidental 18 year prison sentence, get snipped today! 🤣

Yes: I had a pregnancy scare with a girl when I was in my 20s. She didn’t want kids, I was in love with her, and Washington had free vasectomies at the time. It was fast, fairly painless and prevented unwanted pregnancies
Fast forward 20 years when I realized I wanted kids. Turns out vasectomies are incredibly expensive to get reversed, there’s a tiny window in which it’s viable, and every other option for having kids (adoption, surrogacy) is incredibly out of reach
She has kids now
That’s very nearly my story. My ex wanted me to get one back in college. I wanted kids, so, that should have been a sign that things wouldn’t work out. Fortunately, I did not go through with it. Still don’t have any children. Still want them but, not in the cards right now.
Had thought about getting one more recently but the cost and middling success rate for reversal makes that a non-option for someone who still thinks they want kids.
It’s medically dangerous for my SO to get pregnant, plus we live in a conservative state so the danger is much higher.
Pro tip: make sure your doctor believes you when you say you aren’t numb.

Got one >25 years ago. I had complications because I was dumb enough to help a friend change a tire less than 30 minutes after it was done, but the complications were just mildly inconvenient rather than painful.
I did it for multiple reasons; my ex-wife was on medication for a seizure disorder that would cause serious birth defects if she got pregnant, so pregnancy was completely off the table. By that point I’d also realized that I would not be a good parent. (I was diagnosed as being autistic about a decade ago; that’s probably why I’m usually in my own world, which isn’t a great trait in a parent.) I think that, with insurance, it cost about $100 at the time, which was expensive, but not outrageously so.
I have zero regrets, and I have zero children.
Got mine in my late 20s! Huge fan. A good part of it was really that I’ve never dated a person who has had great experiences with birth control. Also, y’know, creampies are hot.
Yes. Got it when I was 24. Appointment happened to be on a Valentines day. Didn’t have kids, didn’t want kids. Nearly 20 years later, still don’t have kids, still don’t want kids. Total cost was a $20 copay.
For some reason I had some pain during cauterization, which isn’t supposed to be possible, so maybe it was in my head. Other than that, no side effects.
The pain was your entire bloodline screaming.
Don’t worry, they calm down. lol
No
I have multiple partners, so condoms are mandatory for STI prevention. And even if a condom breaks, my SO takes the pill (for hormonal reasons) and my other partners are men. So, there’s no risk of pregnancy.

Sounds like OP does in fact use condoms with everyone.

Indeed, as we are an open couple, it was negotiated.
The deal is to do my best to avoid getting an STI (condoms, vaccines, PrEP and testing), AND to do my best to protect her in case I’d be unknowningly infected.
As I have some risky practices with my other partners (unprotected oral sex), I don’t pretend having safe sex.
Of course, and I do. But condoms are designed for penetration, and sex is not all about penetration.

I’d rather say that thanks to my other partners, we share a very special bond when she ask me to tell her stories about sex between men. (Lots of women watch gay porn, btw)
Got mine after having my 4th kid in five years. I have no regrets, just relief.
I was planning to get one but later I realised that I was trans and hrt makes you infertile too. lmao
Same here. I did end up getting an orchi though, so maybe that kinda counts? Or extra counts?
it does maybe
I had one done at 27 because I ever wanted kids. Had to fight with some doctors before one agreed to do it at that age. Unfortunately, insurance didn’t cover it, and I had to pay around 600€. But the ease of mind is priceless. I can only recommend getting a vasectomy to everyone who’s thinking about it!
Nope! My kid is almost grown up, and I want another one. Mid life crisis over here lol.

Yes, early 20s. Very positive experience, in and out of the doctor’s room in under 5 minutes. Took longer to fill out the paperwork.
Been thinking about it, but read too many horror stories about recovery. Don’t know who to trust anymore.
They said tonsils removal would be okay,.wisdom teeth removal would be fine. Both were atrocious experiences.
I’m afraid of anything remotely like that for my downstairs.
I’m one of those “horror stories”, the 3% who have post-procedure pain (dull ache) for the 1st year, and 5% of those whose pain continues after.
And still, no regrets. The occasional dull ache is SO worth the benefits.
There is a certain risk to it, yes, but it’s really low. And you can (and should) always talk to your doctor about all the things you are worried about.
One thing you should definitely make sure of is that your doctor has a lot of experience performing vasectomies. You want to find one that does them frequently and ideally has been doing them for years.
For me, getting my wisdom teeth removed was worse than getting my vasectomy. But I guess it’s different for every person.
I’m sure in the end the risk of you regretting not getting one earlier is much greater than the risk of something going wrong with the surgery.
If you look in my post history you’ll find my story. Short of getting my balls chopped completely off, mine went as badly as one could possibly go.
It sucked a little, but 1 year later and absofuckinglutely no regerts.
Get it done, then you can join the rest of us and LAUNCH ARCING ROPES OF JISM ALL OVER THIS MOTHERFUCKER!
PEACE!
Seriously though, do it. It’s the best decision I ever made, bar none.
I got it done at 35, it went pretty well and I was into work that night with an ice pack on my nuts. I booked it when I had a month of desk work instead of being on the floor doing lifting.
There was a small complication, I had swelling in one testes and had to go in a month later to get an anti-inflammatory injection directly into the ball, it is still a bit more large in the epididymis.
I had issues with my epididymis being painful years ago.
One of the reasons km not sure about vasectomy.
Is epididymis issues a common side. Feel like I’m playing with fire if I have had issues before doing anything that might make those issues worse.
Had one in my early 30s. No regrets at all. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about it
