Actually I do know who needs to hear it - people like this: https://twitter.com/kazweida/status/1521312672465051649
I know it's not the most important thing right now, but since the Roe v Wade news there have been a bunch of tweets encouraging men to get vasectomies, and/or trying to analogize between female birth control methods and vasectomies, that include some assertion to the effect of "you can just get it reversed later when you're ready for kids".
This is not true. Yes, the vasectomy reversal procedure exists but its success rate is not very good (70% at best), and the likelihood of restoring fertility only goes down as more time passes since the initial vasectomy. This is why urologists advise their patients to consider a vasectomy to be a permanent procedure.
I won't say much more about it, other than it would be nice if more forms of male birth control (e.g. Vasalgel) entered the market soon.
Getting a vasectomy was one of the best choices I've ever made.
Did it hurt? I have the children I want and I'm thinking of getting one.
It wasn't comfortable but a day watching TV with a bag of ice on my nuts and I was walking ok the next day.
Can confirm. Feels more like tugging. Played god of war with peas on my nuts for a couple days after.
Not worrying is :stalin-approval:
I feel like I took a softball to the crotch for about five days. Still worth it
Same comrade. It helps my partner is very empathetic that she doesn't want kids, so I was confident doing it.
does it cause any change in your erections, orgasms or sex drive at all?
It's been a while so I can't remember immediately after but if it did have any effects they certainly weren't long lasting.
TMI but you asked
I think it may have effected my orgasms but not actually in a negative way, is not just one sudden explosion anymore there's a ton of aftershocks for like a minute later, it's honestly kinda awesome.
oh that's cool. I'll probably get one some day, but I'm worried about it effecting my sex drive/abilities or something -- or more importantly, the vasectomy reversing itself naturally and then I end up impregnating someone when I think it's impossible
You're supposed to go back and get a sperm count like a year later to make sure everything worked. If you're good then you should be good for life.
