It might be unwise at 18 because most people have no idea what they want out of life at that age. I think they are reversible thought I have no idea what complications are associated with that.


So if a young person knew for sure what they wanted out of life, and kids were a potentially damaging part of that equation, you would have no opposition?

Yes, they are reversible but it is not always successful. It is also a pricey procedure.

I think 18 is the appropriate age.

Some should have it done before that.

I went when I was 26 and tried to get it done.

The doctor was hesitant and asked how many kids do I have. I told him "none, that I know about. And I want to keep it like that."


My urologist basically told me the same thing.

Fwiw, you can freeze your sperm in case you change your mind

I don't see how this is anyones choice as to what is too young other than the person looking to have one. If you don't want to have kids and can pay for it, why wouldn't a doctor do it on anyone who is a legal adult?

EDIT: I can understand the ethics though of providing what may be a permanent removal of ones ability to produce offspring at such an early age where they may change their minds later.

Had mine at 26 after 2 kids

No regrets



It's reversible most of the time, and if not, I think there are extraction methods also

Lately I've thought that I wouldn't mind another kid, but I don't want one enough to reverse it

Depending on your gene pool and criminal record, it should be mandatory for some no matter what the age.

I had mine at 30. Wife wasn't 100% on board with idea. I told I was good with having 2 healthy boys. Didn't want a 3rd.

I'm 42 and still haven't found the nerve to get my nuts clipped. I still pull out.

I was 28.

My in laws neighbor had his done at 20. He was sexually active and halfway mildy retarded and his parents didn't want him having kids.

ETA. My cousin had his reversed and had a kid.

Not to start a shite storm in here, but reading this got me to thinking:

Guy at 18 wanting a vasectomy: refusals, additional questions and "ethics" considerations...for a (mostly) REVERSIBLE process (along with other options such as freezing).....and most people are "ok" with that

Girl at 18 wanting an abortion: well it's her body and she should be free and clear to kill a living human, which is obviously NOT REVERSIBLE....and some people (probably most for cases in early trimester) are "ok" with that.

What are we doing, people?!?

I wish it was mandatory for some at 12.



Me too. I'm convinced eugenics was a good idea.

I know a hand full that regretted it. Don't do it. there are other options.
