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.
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 mine after my 2nd kid was born. Definitely a good choice for me and my wife. Neither of us like condoms and every horminal birth control she’s taken has caused more problems than they were worth.
I got one as soon as Roe v. Wade was overturned, but I have already thought a long while about it due to having bad lungs, a bad heart, and bad eyes. My parents have to be cousins, I swear…best decision I ever made though, that peace of mind is unmatched.
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.
My mate had a botched vasectomy a few years back, they even tried again and couldn’t get it done for some reason.
I still brought over a bag of frozen peas and a ‘sorry for your loss’ card for him though.
Nope! My kid is almost grown up, and I want another one. Mid life crisis over here lol.
Yep.
Don’t have to worry about bringing a human into a worse world than I am in.
After I got mine I would tell people, “Whatever happens 500 years from now, it’s not my fucking fault.”
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.
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.
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.
Had one in my early 30s. No regrets at all. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about it
I was planning to get one but later I realised that I was trans and hrt makes you infertile too. lmao
Two for one, good on you
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.
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.
