"the eternal debate, To Snip or Not Snip ... the pros & cons Is getting the Snip the manly thing to do for you partner" If you both don't want more kids for certain, then I'd say yes. | |||

"Does getting the snip really prevent you from being able to have kids??? They circumcise in infancy in many cultures. Do they reverse the procedure at your Bar Mitzvah when you've reached adulthood then?

"I would suggest approaching the subject with your partner. If you have both decided (that is if you have a partner, given that you mention this in the question, it is my presumption), that your family is complete, then the question, why a vasectomy over other contraceptive methods. Those methods being: Pulling out, not particularly safe prevention of unwanted pregnancy, but natural. Condoms, such hassle and loss of sensation for you, massive mood killer. Sterilisation for her, a lot more invasive than a vasectomy. Hormones for her, come in lots of various forms, may all have different side effects...I know they do on me!!! But every woman is different... discuss with your partner! If you decide a vasectomy is the way to go, get advice from your GP!!! With several referrals and ask lots of questions on appointment, anything and everything you can think of, pre procedure, during and post procedure. It is still an operation, any operation comes with risk, no matter how minimal!!! And just to add, I dated a chap last year for a few months who had a vasectomy, which was not only excruciatingly painful but left him with permanent discomfort as there were complications!!! So please bear this in mind, as that obviously can have an impact on your sex life...and who wants that, right?! " The bar is a great method my ex got it done saved on getting condoms and still have the full sensation of sex I think it lasts 3 or 5 years there is also something not sure of the name of it but I believe it is put up the vagina and I don't mean a femdom it last for like 7 years so plenty of options out there | |||
"the eternal debate, To Snip or Not Snip ... the pros & cons Is getting the Snip the manly thing to do for you partner" There's a very real risk of chronic groin pain. Imagine getting kicked in the balls every day for the rest of your life. | |||

Hormones used are either a combination of oestrogen and progesterone or the progesterone only method...it is worth investigating if your partner hasn't used any of these before. The bar is progesterone only implant put into the arm. The vaginal method is an intrauterine device or commonly called coil, which also releases progesterone. There is also the pill, progesterone only pill or combined pill...lots of methods available. But hormones come with lots of side effects, certainly for me!!! On taking the combination of both hormones, I get regular migraines on certain days of my cycle for every cycle!!! And on the progesterone only method, I bleed for 2 weeks out of my cycle minimum, as opposed to what this hormone is apparently supposed to do, lighten or stop the bleeding altogether. So it really is a matter of trial and error where hormones are concerned. Needless to say, I am not on any hormones lol!!! Wouldn't want to inflict permanent bleeding and/or regular migraines on any partner of mine 
And very much a matter of, do you want to take the risk where a vasectomy is concerned, which by the way, can also reverse itself, and takes a few months to take!!! | |||

"I suppose it just comes down to what someone is more comfortable to do like there is no perfect method like with the vasectomy some has it done with no issues and then you have some where it's a living nightmare Like no matter what method you use there is still a slight slight chance of getting someone pregnant like with the tubes being tied there is a chance of them untying themselves By no means I'm no expert on this matter so at the same time I could be talking utter shite lol | |||
"the eternal debate, To Snip or Not Snip ... the pros & cons Is getting the Snip the manly thing to do for you partner" . Fuck no!! Don’t be making your penis any smaller  | |||

"I had it done 6 years ago and it was the best decision we have ever made. It's quick and convenient. Don't have to worry about condoms, pills, unwanted pregnancy and we can have sex whenever and however we want. Tip: Find a GP whose hands are not shaking. The one I went to must have been in his late 70s, I thought he'll cut my balls off by accident "Got mine done by a female doctor who's husband got it done in the same clinic by another doctor. He didn't trust her not to cut his balls off because they had a fight 2 days previously | |||
| |||
"I asked for my tubes to be tied at 31 in the maternity. was told no what if I found another man and wanted kids . " Its a joke isn't it according to that logic you'd have to wait until the menopause | |||
| |||

"Forget what anyone else says, for something like this you really have to think about what you want. I've a friend who was in a solid long term relationship, the missus didnt want more kids so he had the snip. They unfortunately broke up, he's now with someone with no kids and getting it reversed. He says he didnt really want to do it in the first place. Remember its your body, you do what you think is best. Theres worse things than condoms." That's the exact scenario that would plague my mind so it is a big decision to make life just loves throwing them curve balls at ya | |||

There's no obligation at all to do an entirely elective procedure on anyone. Especially someone who at the time of the consultation may not have come across as though he researched it or thought it all through or convinced the surgeon that he had discussed it openly with his partner also esp if married. This then can then become a medicolegal issue regarding the consent process further down the line. And as someone else stated the reversal procedure has lowish success rates. Its got nothing to do with attitudes and isnt ridiculous in the slightest. | |||
