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.
- I had mine 14 years ago 100% free all thanks to Plan Parenthood. No pain for me and I was back in action after 5 days. Wife at time had no problem giving me the 20 our so releases I needed to make sure I was clesn of active sperm.
  So after doctors said I was clean said goodbye to condoms and never been freeier.
  They say you can get easily reverse so see no reason why women should suffer under a horrible surgery and be out of action for 6 to 8 weeks. When it takes 30 minutes and all well in 5 days.
  Fyi mine also done here in Oklahoma but Tulsa area. I had to wait only 2 months for a slot.
  
  They say you can get easily reverse
  That's not true, reversal is much more invasive and not guaranteed to work
  
  I was more upset that I had to wait the full 6 months to test, but it didn't matter since I failed the first time anyway...
- I agree, but the sad part is this is being done because abortion is illegal there now. It's being done out of desperation, not because someone wants it done.
  
  Whatever gets fewer kids into the world I support.
- Best thing I ever did.
- 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.
- 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 :/

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
- Damn man, I got lucky and insurance took care of most of it.
  This is going to sound condescending but i mean it. Good for you for being happy for these dudes instead of upset about it.
  Too many times (especially recently) i see people angry that others get something they didn't. Its nice to see and restores my faith in humanity when i read things or hear things like your comment.
  Thanks man, i really needed that.
  
  I wanted to say the same thing about being happy for others. A lot of people I know got super angry about student loan forgiveness. The forgiveness wasn't even full forgiveness, and it never even went through for most people, but they still found a way to complain about how nobody deserved forgiveness because when they were in school in prehistoric times they paid their way through and people today are just lazy and pick worthless majors.
  
  Damn man, I got lucky and insurance took care of most of it.
  That just means you still paid for it, but with extra steps. Namely, premiums being taken out of your paycheck and a lower gross salary to cover the "employer's portion".

Wanted one since I was 18, finally got it at 36. Couldn't be happier

I ended up being one of those people who needs more numbing than normal people, which is not the most pleasant thing to learn during your vasectomy.
That said, even after 4 separate breaks to apply more lidocaine, I had a super smooth experience and was pain free after the first day. Had to force myself to take it easy for a week, and didn’t even need ibuprofen. Getting kicked in the nuts is way worse.
- Getting kicked in the nuts is way worse.
  I know what you're trying to say, but that's not an especially high bar to hurdle. :)
- do you have ADHD by any chance?
  lidocaine is sometimes ineffective for people with ADHD.
  I also found out lidocaine was ineffective for me while they were cutting out a birthmark
  
  Well, I’ll be damned. Also, if you’re a woman with adhd and are PMSing, apparently lidocaine has about a 25%effectiveness rate.
  Wild.
  
  This explains a lot. I've had dentists baffled that I could still feel anything during a procedure.

You know those water balloon toys with the hose hook up? It fills about 20 small water balloons and you have to sorta jiggle the hose to get the balloons to slide off.
Well, it felt like the doctor was pulling a hose on a mini version if this inside my boys.
Was legit horrible experience.
Don't let anyone fool you. Sooooo glad it's done.
- I don't know man, that doesn't seem right. During my procedure, the actual "surgery", I felt almost nothing.
  I DID however, have intense soreness for several days after. But the procedure wasn't bad.
  Conclusion full agree - so much freedom, would do again, 5/5.
  
  My experience was pretty similar to yours. Really no pain and recovery wasn't even that bad.

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
- I don’t like toilet water on my balls
  Does anybody? lol
  
  Maybe on a hot day
- My right testicle gets VERY SORE sometimes
  
  Wtf, so does mine. When I brought it up, they said the vasectomy couldn't have caused that and I had mine 8 years ago.
- 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

Got mine about a year ago. Way less painful than I expected. Totally worth it.

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.
- Bro dont wait a month. If you feel Ok to do it, crank that hog and clear them splooge tubes. Make the doctor doing your spunk check say "your specimen sample is 100% clear for Adult Swim only"
  
  Lol, I meant another month before I can get tested. I was back at it the next day.

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.
- While a ball valve is more durable and provides a tight seal, opening and closing will cause an abrupt change in pressure that can strain your system. A gate valve will allow for more granular pressure regulation, but is prone to leakage and degradation of the valve stem over time.
  
  Just this week at work we are having a problem at a customer site with some ball valves not sealing. I am thinking it might be fet-driven instead of relay driven and just doesn't have the current needed for the last part. Seen them do that before.
- It has ears?

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).

Hopefully the lifted truck driver riding my ass is heading over there
