She's in control!

[Agrajag]

Then why does he have to get snipped if she already has his balls?

I wish I controlled him...

He is getting snipped because it's only fair. I have 2 major surgeries to have his children, plus one minimally invasive one to correct a problem that was caused by pregnancy. The least he can do is have an outpatient surgery to make me feel better.

Piss on that! You both decided to have children. He did his part for that, you did yours. Now you decide you are done and only he has to suffer? Not fair in my eyes.

Incoming all the femenists and their bleeding vaginas...

[Insanityfair]

I wouldn't ask someone to do something I wouldn't be willing to do myself. If it's a joint decision to not have any more children, it should be a joint decision as to what to do to avoid it. For all we know this might have been the agreement they came to.

[Darcler]

He hasnt quite said yes, but he knows I am done, he knows he is done and he knows I am not going under a knife again. Which leaves him and an uncomfortable weekend. He cant get pregnant like I can, even if I were to get tied. If that were to happen, I would have an etopic pregnancy which is dangerous to me and would most likely result in miscarriage. If it didnt, I would end up on bedrest for the entire pregnancy and we couldnt stand 2 weeks, let alone 40.
It's his time.

[Martrae]

The surgery on women is far more dangerous than it is on men.

I wouldn't wait too long, Darc. Kahar was scheduled for his snip when I got preg with our third.

[Tikker]

getting it snipped means that it's now free season to sleep around!

no chance of accidents, hooray

[leah]

aren't vasectomies reversible, too?

hysterectomies definitely aren't.

josh wanted to get a vasectomy for awhile... i wouldn't really mind, since i don't really ever see myself having (or wanting) children. but i told him if he was going to do it, he'd damn well better freeze some lil' swimmers first hehe. (and no, he is not actually going to have a vasectomy anytime soon, so chill hehe)

Tubal Ligation

Laparoscopic (LAP-er-uh-SKAH-pik) tubal ligation (lie-GAY-shun) is one of several forms of sterilization. In the laparoscopic type of tubal ligation, the doctor works with a long metal tube inserted into the abdomen through a tiny incision. This tube, or "laparoscope," has a tiny light and video camera at its tip. With its aid, the doctor ties, cuts, burns, or clips the tubes closed. Be certain you don't want any more children before you get a tubal ligation. Even though the operation can be reversed, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get pregnant again afterwards. Tubal ligation has no effect other than sterilization. You will continue to have monthly periods, and your sex drive will be unchanged.

Risks

There are always risks with surgery. You may bleed more than usual, develop an infection, have trouble breathing, or get blood clots. However, the doctor is prepared to deal with such problems.

Vasectomy

A vasectomy is usually done in your doctor's office or in an outpatient surgery center. The operation takes about half an hour. You'll be awake during the procedure. Your doctor will give you a local anesthetic to numb your scrotum.
After you're numb, your doctor will cut a small opening (an incision) on one side of your scrotum and pull out part of the vas deferens on that side. You may feel some tugging and pulling. A small section of the vas deferens is removed. The ends of the vas deferens will be sealed by stitching them shut, by searing them shut with heat, or by using another method. Your doctor will then do the same thing on the other side.
Your doctor will close the 2 openings in your scrotum with stitches. After 3 to 10 days, the stitches will disappear by themselves.

Risks

Problems that might occur after your vasectomy include bleeding, infection and a usually mild inflammatory reaction to sperm that may have gotten loose during the surgery (called sperm granuloma).

Another risk is that the ends of the vas deferens may find a way to create a new path to one another. This doesn't occur very often. But if it does, you could be able to cause a pregnancy.

•Long Term Health Risks

Studies on the potential long term health risks to men who have undergone vasectomy remain inconclusive. However some believe the risk of future prostate cancer is increased. Research indicates that fears of increased risk of heart disease and testicular cancer appear to be unfounded. A 1993 report issued by the National Institutes of Health recommended that further study be conducted on the potential long-term health risk of vasectomy. However, changes in vasectomy procedure were not recommended in the report. This tends to lead many to believe that the actual risk of prostate cancer attributable to vasectomy is extremely low or non-existent.
Women who chose tubal ligation often experience changes in their menstrual cycle. Possible menstrual changes of attributed to tubal ligation include pelvic pain, and additional surgery, although whether either of these complications are true remains a subject of controversy among physicians. Others consider the possibility of a condition many call Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome. According to studies, women who undergo tubal ligation surgically before age 30 face an increased risk of future hysterectomy. Other research suggests that tubal ligation possibly offers protection against ovarian cancer and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

No one is ever cutting open my cock, or balls.

Not unless I am dying...

[Agrajag]

The cock is not involved. Just the balls. And remember, either you, your wife or the nurse gets to shave your sack! I'd rather do it myself and not take the chance that some male nurse is handling my junk.

[Gaazy]

FUCK that. My balls are my godamn balls. No ones going at them with a pair of scissors or any other tool.

[Spazz]

AMEN gazzy and harri. How bout if you dont want more kids dont have any more kids and no surgery for anybody ?

[Agrajag]

I'm just waiting for Gidan to step up and take his uncut balls back before its too late.

[Narrock]

I was looking forward to lunch until i read these posts.

[Darcler]

AMEN gazzy and harri. How bout if you dont want more kids dont have any more kids and no surgery for anybody ?

Because we both like sex?
We dont use condoms and I havent found a BC I like. Thus the baby boy we now have....actually...thus both of our kids...neither were exactly "planned".
Gid is smart for not opening his mouth. I'm still crazy hormonal.

[Agrajag]

Gid is smart for not opening his mouth.

Wow! First she tells you you're getting snipped, then she tells you when you can speak, Gid?

[Darcler]

I'd get ignored if I said any of that irl....gogo hiding behind the computer. It makes me feel big.

[Markarado]

Women in general can be difficult to deal with. I have no desire to deal with a pregnant women at this point in my life.

[Harrison]

Pregnant women are easy to placate.

[Martrae]

You haven't a clue. How do you 'placate' a woman that's laughing hysterically one minute and crying like her heart is broken the next? Pregnancy hormones are a bitch.

[Jimmy Durante]

How do you 'placate' a woman that's laughing hysterically one minute and crying like her heart is broken the next?

How is that type of behavior any different from when she isn't pregnant?

[Lyion]

Kudos for a man who's willing to do an outpatient no pain surgery to prevent his wife from getting pregnant. A vasectomy ain't a big deal. It's also much easier on the guy than the girl.

However, since you were already going for surgery, why didn't you have your tubes tied then, Darc?
