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! 🤣

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, early 20s. Very positive experience, in and out of the doctor’s room in under 5 minutes. Took longer to fill out the paperwork.
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.
Had one in my early 30s. No regrets at all. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about it
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
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 partner had a hysterectomy. I would have no questions asked, but it isn’t necessary
I’m not sure if it is common, it is just sometimes a bit more solid and sensitive maybe because the swimmers now escape into the scrotum and get absorbed instead of going down the tubes.
I’m not a doctor so I don’t know I just don’t let anyone bite them anymore. All other functions are working fine, other than the being fertile thankfully.
escape into the scrotum
No, they do not. They never leave the epididymis.
This is from the doctors clinic that did my vasectomy.
Open-Ended Vasectomy Technique
Our doctors perform an “open-ended” vasectomy technique, where the vas from the lower end of the tube is left open, while the upper end of the tube leading to the penis is cut and then separated by the fascial sheath barrier. Historically, the lower end was closed off during a vasectomy because it was thought that leaving the lower end open could cause more complications or failures.
Instead, when the bottom end of the vas deferens is allowed to remain open, complications and failures are not increased. In fact, there appears to be less chance of post vasectomy pain and a higher chance of successful vasectomy reversal in the future. Specifically, when the lower end of a vasectomy is closed off, some patients experience build up pressure in the lower end and this pressure can cause swelling and inflammation in the epididymis, especially in the first 2 weeks.
With an open ended approach, sperm is allowed to “leak out” and eventually forms a small granuloma at the opening that serves as a metabolically active “recycling” centre that decompresses the epididymis.
This constant recycling and removal of sperm may relieve pressure build up downstream, reduce damage, and increase vasectomy reversal success.
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.
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, 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.
Same, after the second kid. We never use condoms, she was always on the pill, and its easier for me to get that snip and be done than have her deal with that fun all the time.
Yes. When we had our last kid my wife got her tubes tied and told the doctor that she was getting me fixed as well. He said, “That isn’t necessary.” and she replied, “Yes, it is.” She wanted to make sure that I didn’t get anyone else pregnant. Apparently I’m a dog.
Sounds like permission.
More acknowledgement, I think.
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.
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.
I personally wouldn’t do it. I don’t plan on having any more kids, but what if we get into a post-apocalyptic scenario and the fate of mankind depends on me impregnating as many women as possible, repeatedly?I become like some farm animal, just spending my days constantly breeding, just exhausted from all the routine sex. It would be selfish of me to deny my sperm to so many women.
