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! 🤣
Had one in my early 30s. No regrets at all. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about it
Yes I have a vasectomy. I have two sons and my partner and I were done having kids. The procedure was easy and mostly painless. Healing was quick. The worst part was after I scheduled it I for calls asking why I was getting the procedure and asking a lot of invasive questions, for the record I live in Iowa.
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.
Yes 1.5 years ago. Not bad but I do have dull ball pain if ejac frequency is greater than every 48 hours. Not a big deal for me approaching 40. But overall would not recommended to anyone in their 20’s or early 30’s with a high libido.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 after having my 4th kid in five years. I have no regrets, just relief.
Got one in my early 30s. Wish I’d done it sooner! It’s a scary step to sterilize yourself, even if you’re sure you never want kids, but not only have I had no regrets, my appreciation continued to grow to this very day. I swear, any man without a vasectomy is a damn fool. Even if I wanted kids, knowing what I know now, I’d STILL have gotten one even sooner and tried to foster and adopt instead.
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.
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’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.
Wanted one for a while now only reason I haven’t is because I’m too lazy to register at a doctors near to me and for some stupid reason I can’t self refer myself for it and have to visit a doctor to do that part for me.
Nope. My partner had a hysterectomy. I would have no questions asked, but it isn’t necessary
