Vasectomy: Things to consider?
Posted on 2/5/16 at 6:24 am
Posted on 2/5/16 at 6:24 am
No, this isn't some joke or comedy thread, I actually am considering getting this procedure done. I am 32 years old and at this point have pretty much decided that even if I ever do get married I have no interest in having children.
With that said, while I do enjoy sex I do a lot of times get nervous even with protection about the potential consequences. As I have gotten older (not old but beyond my 20s where you feel invincible) I have not had sex nearly as often (to be honest I haven't had sex in the last 2 years) out of the fear of getting the woman pregnant.
I look at a vasectomy as true sexual freedom, that I can then not even have to worry anymore. I wanted to get some opinions though on what you all think about it, especially from the female perspective as well as from the male perspective of anyone who has the procedure done.
From the female perspective, how would you look at a guy that you are considering or are already dating if he came out and said he had a vasectomy done? From the male perspective, if you have had the procedure, is there anything specific I should know about it? What are some things the average person considering the procedure might not think about but should?
I definitely thank you all for helping me with this very important personal decision.

If you're over 30 you're a grown arse man. You don't use a rubber and don't pull out, no matter who you're fricking. What kinda pussy shite is this???

32 seems young to me, but to each his own.
Many woman arent.having kids till their 30s, so you will limit your dating pool if you are sterile. (Assuming you are honest with them about having a.vasectomy)
Change thread title to make it longer, or it will be anchored

Quick procedure done in-office
Local anesthetic
Follow up in 3 months for sperm count check; wear condoms until then
Do not go in to do it unless you are without a doubt 100% sure you are ready to be barren. You are very young and have plenty of time to change your mind.
Risks/complications:
Sperm granuloma (happens more often than you would think; google some images of it. Can be uncomfortable/painful) and post-vasectomy pain syndrome (lasts maybe 2 weeks).

Before you edited it, it said you had sex 4 times in 2 years..did you think that editing and saying you haven't had sex in 2 years is less pitiful or more pitiful?
Which is it??!?!?

White people problems.
SMDH.
Before you cut the cord(s), you might want to make a couple of deposits under your name at the local sperm bank.(A great nickname for a trashy female, btw)
That way if you and a future SO ever want kids of your own you have an option.

Had mine at 32. Doctor's first three questions when he walked in for the consult was:
Do you have kids?
Are you married?
Does your wife know you're here?
I was able to answer yes to all three. Not sure what would happen if I said no.
I would say don't do it. Kids are great. Had my first unexpectedly when I was one month shy of 21. Scared out of my mind but when my daughter was born, it was, at the time, the greatest moment of my life. Couldn't imagine my life without my three kids. I believe having children is one of the most important things in life and women feel pretty strongly about it as well. You'll probably turn away a lot of women, even if they think they don't want kids too.
Pretty stupid decision to just get your rocks off without having to worry about getting someone pregnant.

If you have no interest in kids, don't worry about limiting your dating pool. You shouldn't be dating women who want them.
If you feel pretty strongly about not having them, go for it. It's nice not to have to worry.

Haha thatmakessense no I just realized it was a mistake, this past year has been so crazy that when I thought back at it I was just like "wait, yeah 2013 was the last year I had sex and I had sex 4 times that year." Forgot it was 2016 already, hard to believe how fast the last couple of years have flown by.

Thanks for the responses so far, good to hear other perspectives and what to expect. As for the three questions the doctor asked liugaming, I would be answering no to all three of those questions as I am not currently married or even in a relationship. Do you think there are doctors who would actually say they wouldn't do it in my situation?
Can doctors actually decline to do it even if I am completely committed to it?

Jesus, man.
I'd hold off on the vasectomy, seems like your face is the poster child for Planned Parenthood.

My buddy had it done a few years ago and apparently it threw a clot into the testicles and the doctors had to go in and do a double amputation 3 days later. Says it's the most painful thing that's ever happened to him. Apparently it's a pretty common side effect

If you have no internet in having kids
Odd that you bring that up here?

el Guacho do you know how common this complication is? Was it just completely random or was the doctor inexperienced doing the procedure? Was your friend older, did that have anything to do with it? I definitely want to hear more about complications and side effects from this procedure.

Hahaha. fricking phone.
Reading the followup, don't do it. Unless you haven't been having sex because you've got a phobia related to getting a woman pregnant, it seems unnecessary to have the procedure now. You may completely change your mind in the context of a relationship, and it seems crazy to further limit your dating pool so severely at this point.

Keep telling yourself that's why

He can always do a reverse vasectomy.
Posted on 2/5/16 at 6:50 am to GeauxBlacknGold83
You can always get the vasectomy and lie and say you had some trauma and cant have kids. If you plan on leaving the swimmers at the sperm bank, it might throw a wrench in that lie though.
