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. 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.

    Yes I got one in 2010. Never looked back. No kids. The vasectomy helped dodge three HUGE bullets of women who wanted to baby trap me.

    Nope. My partner had a hysterectomy. I would have no questions asked, but it isn’t necessary

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 mine after having my 4th kid in five years. I have no regrets, just relief.

    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.

      After I got mine I would tell people, “Whatever happens 500 years from now, it’s not my fucking fault.”

    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.
