I thought vasectomies were reversible?

Even if they weren't, couldn't you still get the juice out some other way if you really needed it? Artificial insemination or whatever.

I would date someone who'd had a vasectomy but I probably wouldn't date the OP. His mind moves in strange ways.

Then by your own definition she is not "great". You don't want kids. That's a dealbreaker.

I've had a vasectomy years ago, and even before that I've always been up front right from the beginning about not wanting kids. If the woman is "unsure", I'll give her a chance and we'll date but only knowing that I will not change my mind, so if she ever comes down off the fence on the want-kids side, that's that. Relationship over. There are plenty of relationship issues that are dealbreakers for people; having kids is one of the biggest.

The women I date do so knowing fullwell my intentions on raising a family. If she's not on the same page, the door's over there. Yes, I've had to say goodbye to several potentially wonderful women because we didn't see eye to eye, but I've also met and dated several women who knew exactly where I was coming from, and agreed wholeheartedly... There are more women out there on the same page as you than you think.

Why do you think there is such a population crisis in Japan and Korea these days. MANY women would rather concentrate on their careers and/or marriage without children. Korean women especially don't want to deal with the crap that comes along with raising first-born sons, and such.

[ Anecdotal aside: I dated a woman for 3 months (12-13 years ago, in Canada... wonderful in many ways, smart, lovely, childfree, interesting job, ready for marriage and not something casual... fantastic. I took her out to a classy sushi restaurant for her birthday, and what did she do? Brought HER KIDS along! Three months she lied to me about them. Why? Because once I saw how wonderful she was, I wouldn't dump her just because she has kids. And besides, her kids are great and she can change my mind. No. Wrong. First of all, you can't change my mind. Second, you are not THAT wonderful, Miss Conceited. Third, you told a big fucking LIE for three months... not the greatest way to start a life together. Seriously, she couldn't understand the anger I was "expressing". The people sitting near our table were horrified with what she did. I had no problem telling to *beep* off and leave her sitting there. Happy Birthday, bitch. That's three months of my life you stole from me. ]

They are not as simple as the original procedure, and in no way are guaranteed to work. Some are lucky and can get the pipes working again, some not.

You still have to be sure about getting one. Either that or jack off into a cup for insemination procedures down the road should you change your mind.

It is recommended that you have some of the stuff frozen for future reference.

I would recommend the snip for every male capable of repro.

Freeze your stuff for when you want to be sure of the outcome.

Be aware as well, that a vasectomy is not 100% effective ALL the time. There are still sometimes slight (very slight) chances that the little guys could get through.

My father had a vasectomy when I was like 12 or so. Move ahead to when I'm about to enter my first year of University and my mom gets pregnant (although it didn't last). One or two can still get through, but it's very rare.

It is still the most reliable method of birth control.

Takes all the anxiety out of the act.

Gives monogomous and faithful a whole new outlook.

I really don't know how I would have survived without one.

I`ve given some thought to having some of it frozen just in case. I don`t see myself ever changing my mind, but there`s always the very remote possibility that the right woman could change my mind. I`m a never-say-never kind of guy. This brings up another question, though; do they charge you to store it? How does that work?

That's why you get your sperm count tested a month or two after things have healed. If the doc gives you the thumbs up, that's it. If one ever gave me the green light and said I was good to go, then I later got my lady pregnant, he'd find himself in court.

You will sign a disclaimer.

The human body is funny in that it will try to repair itself after your surgery.

You also sign a disclaimer that explains that some people experience
recurrent pain after a vascectomy you can't sue for that either.

They clip off the tubes so these clips are left inside and they can get hung
up on nerve ending and such, it's rare but does occur.

Also the post operative ice packing that is advised IS ADVISED!
