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.
