getting a vasectomy at 27

Post Reply New Topic

My NT BF is going to have a vasectomy this year. He's 32.

Screaming children/crying babies are on my top three sensory disturbances list that will send me into a meltdown. I've never had any desire for children from a young age. So, it's very nice my bf feels the same way.

I applaud all the men out there that want to get this done.

okay I am going to book an appointment with my dr now and discuss this. I'm interested in getting the procedure done for real now, hopefully it all works out. Wish me luck!

Canada is different from the US when it comes to medical care but I don't think you'll have a problem getting a vasectomy. If worst comes to worst, you just have to cross the border, go to a Planned Parenthood and pay $300 for one. Unlike a tubaligation, a vasectomy is easily reversible. So, if you were to change your mind (maybe you'll hit your head or whatever, who knows), it wouldn't be intrusive to your body to have it undone. So having it done is just smart. And they make it sound more painful than it is. Just make sure you rest, even if you don't feel as sore as people say you're going to feel. Good luck to you and Happy Snipping!

I got my vasectomy 2 years ago -- best decision I made. Helped that my gf at the time (now wife) didn't and still doesnt' want kids. Recovery wasn't too bad, mostly slept on the couch and had a bag of frozen peas in my lap. My doctor was more confused more than anything --- but he eventually went along with it. Made the mistake of telling my parents -- they weren't happy about it. Figured that they'd have been more understanding considering how many times I had told them that I didn't like childhood, growing up or kids for that matter. My dog is my family

I've not had it done but am out of the risk zone

It sounds to me like you have thought it through and if you get it done in the right manner they can re-connect you if you do change your mind, good luck and enjoy the freedom [keep receipt as proof for future fun ]

I know someone who was browbeaten into agreeing to have kids.

That can only end in fire.

My husband and I both never wanted children so he got a vasectomy when he was 28. It's nice not having to worry about unintended pregnancy so you can just focus on the "intimacy" instead.

I'd also say do it. At worst: its a few minutes of pain, at best: its a second pain with the lidocaine injection. Its also an easy procedure that is done by urologist and family medicine. This way you also remove your partner's "reliability" factor out of the equation

In a way, men have it easier, as it's a quick procedure while a woman getting her tubes tied involves major surgery. It's also easier to reverse than a tubal ligation, and the recovery is somewhat faster.

@Space:

As Sallamandrina and others have told you, if you're pretty sure you don't want to have any children, then go ahead. Don't let other people change your mind, since it is YOUR life and you have to make your own decisions.


I do love children -that's why I became a teacher- but I'd only like to have one of my own. I have no partner at the moment and I'm already 30, so I guess I should start looking for a suitable mum . When I had that baby, then I would definitively get a vasectomy.

Funny as it may sound, this is a question I always had in mind but never dared to ask... So against what I first expected, it seems that semen is released, 'though with no sperm cells in it... which makes me raise another question... since sperm cells are still produced but you can't find them in the semen flow... which is their final destiny???

Good luck Space! I think more men should have this done

Why not do it, if you're sure you don't want kids? The only women that it will put off that wouldn't be put off by your telling them you don't want kids, period, are women intending to browbeat you into having them or, worse, trick you, so there's no actual downside as far as relationships go. Should you change your mind, it's reversible, it seems. It's a simple medical procedure.

Their final destiny is to be reabsorbed into the body after having no flow out of the scrotum.

Just want to point out that a vasectomy may be possible to reverse but it's not necessarily trivial, and results can vary. OP, I'm hoping you presume the procedure to be permanent, because it's in your best interest to behave as though it is.

Well, of course I'd like to go get a vasectomy while I'm in my late twenties since my mother and her friend wouldn't let me and my girlfriend get married or have sex. That means that every if I get a vasectomy, I'll still be a grown male virgin still living with my mother and my niece, which are embarrassing and annoying.
