Planned Parenthood Great Plains is holding a free two-day vasectomy clinic next month, and all the spots filled up in less than 48 hours.
I got one 2 years ago. Super easy and much less pain than kids. I felt like I got kicked in the balls 10 minutes ago for a few days. Worth it.
Don’t make your ladies have a more invasive surgery. Just get it done.

word, the differences in their longterm health outcomes are ridiculous with hysterectomy. We still get our testosterone and dangly bits, we just, er, cut the swimmers off at the pass. not having to worry about condoms / bc / etc? priceless.
That is if you can find a doctor who will give a recommendation for one. My partner has endometriosis and has wanted an oblation for a while but nobody will give her the ok cuz she’s in her 30’s and “she could still have kids if she wanted to.”
I thought stuff like that was a meme but she can’t find anyone. The first doctor I met with just wanted me to know a vasectomy was permanent and he gave me some vallium. $200 and 20 minutes was all it took for me and she’s STILL looking to get an oblation :/
I agree that ladies shouldn’t have to get the much more invasive surgery, but I’ve never met a woman who regretted her hysterectomy.
Most women who’ve had a hysterectomy have likely had a severe debilitating medical issue related to the uterus and so removing it probably makes them feel the most free they’ve been in a long time.
I have. She had one as part of cancer treatment. And told me that she wished she had pushed for options that didn’t involve a hysterectomy.
Personally I was pretty glad to hear she got one. She would have been a terrible mother.
Went in, doctor numbed my balls without an injection, opened with laser, snip snip, cauterized the ends, clip on as a safety, apply some glue to close the openings, 10 minutes total, here’s a Coke to put some sugar in you, buhbye!
Free coke? I’m listening…
Fuck man mine was 4k good for these guys
Mine was… A couple of hundred in AUD? And managed to get it at 31 too. Knew I never ever wanted kids, had a letter from my psych and the doctor asked me a few questions and said “Yeah, I get it…”
Snip snip, some pain for about 5 days and all done. Don’t regret it one bit.
edit: Mine is technically reversible but from what I read the chances of that being successful drops each year.
You need a letter from a psychiatrist in order to get a vasectomy in Australia?
Nah, but was keeping it safe/covering my bases given my age. And it was from my psychologist not psychiatrist (should have clarified).
Fair enough, that makes sense. I would have done the same. In our case, we wanted a kid (after 10 years of child-free marriage) and then my wife got an IUD, which should last until menopause, which is starting, so we should be in the clear.
Good to hear! Yeah they’re fairly liberal with giving vasectomies here, plus most are ‘microsurgery’ ones which are technically* reversible. I’ve heard trying to get women’s steralisation is SIGNIFICANTLY harder though unfortunately and a lot is “Oh, well you might want kids later!”
*Maybe…
She wasn’t sterilized. An IUD isn’t sterilization, it’s long-term contraception. If we really wanted another kid, she could have it removed, which is relatively easy and painless (it involves pulling a string essentially). Her gynecologist suggested it after our daughter was born and she followed what her gynecologist suggested. It seems to have worked out. I don’t remember why it was suggested, but it was more than just ‘you won’t get pregnant again.’ I think something to do with regulating her period? I’d have to ask her and it’s kind of a weird thing to bring up out of the blue.
Oh sorry, I went a bit tangential with my thinking there :) Yeah IUDs are usually very effective - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huy2H7fJnV4
Hopefully the lifted truck driver riding my ass is heading over there
I’ve always wanted one of those switches where I can flip it on and if at will. I heard about that years ago, but I don’t know if it ever actually became a real thing. I’m single and 36 so it would be perfect for me. I’m glad that people are getting a snip for free though.
I think my experience was pretty non typical, but ye, I did NOT have a good time.
Long story short, there was student in the room, so instead of just getting it over with as quickly as possible, my guy was EXCRUCIATINGLY slow to numb me, and not before he’d shown her how to enter the fucking konami code into my nutsack. At one point I actually sat up and asked just what the fuck he was doing, because I was in so much discomfort. It probably lasted 15 - 20 minutes total, but it felt like eternity.
Other than that, it was fine though. Felt like I’d been kicked in the nuts for a few days afterwards, but then it was all good. Still got a month to go before I get the all clear though.
Got it 2 decades ago. Downside is my balls hang lower. Which has caused discomfort riding bikes. Finding the right underwear has been crucial for comfort. The other pain is my balls hitting the water, I don’t like toilet water on my balls
I suspect the 2 decades might have more to do with your balls hanging lower than the vasectomy lol
noticed the lower hanging balls immediately. Couple of my friends have the same experience post vasectomy m, balls hang lower. Granted I already had grandad balls at 24 when I got snipped. Definitely could get some puppetry going
It sounds like the surgeon didn’t just snip the vas deferens, then, because your testicles aren’t supported by it.
Interesting. Did you have a laser or a scalpel? I had mine last month, and haven’t noticed any difference at all.
Scalpel.
Is the US the only country in the world that fills toilets to the top, or are there others?
Water is at the bottom like normal toilets. Probably have 3-4 inches of sack hanging. Some toilets are deeper than others, public vs private mostly. The worst are the almond shaped public toilets that are really shallow
Each public toilet that does not have a tank in the back can have the water level adjusted. I have seen some bathrooms with identical toilets where the water is anywhere between 5 to 8 inches down from the seat.
Yes, I have preferred toilets at work due to low hanging balls and dislike of ball sweat tea.
For the newcomers,
