| 1 | Wife forcing vasectomyWhen the male body is added extraneous testosterone, the own testosterone production does decline. As Sperm and testosterone production are hard-linked, sperm production does decline too. When below 1mil/ml sperm concentration (needs to be checked regularly) then it does correspond to Pearl-Index 1 | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/06/26 07:37 PM |
| 3 | Wife forcing vasectomyhe would have to do sperm analysis, checking if below 1mil/ml sperm concentration. Not sure about the protocol there, for thermal it is every 3 month, could be the same. Then: Pearl-Index 1 | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/06/26 07:35 PM |
| 3 | Wife forcing vasectomyI got the same request from my ex back then. I declined. But, would i have known "thermal male birth control" (andro-switch) which i use since three years now, i probably would have done this instead back than. Maybe not, time and situation was different... (Definitely i would tell my younger me to have a look to... and anyway end things way earlier) So, it's his decision. But if the alternative is Condoms, he needs to wear them. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/06/26 07:11 PM |

If he does, and it was his sperm which did cause the pregnancy, he should not opt out. I know, there are Condoms (please use them, STI are real) and Vasectomy. But there should be more options.

| 2 | Vasalgeli am in Europe (Germany), so FDA does not affect me. But there are similar Organisations. I need to have another look to Research chemicals. Last time i had a look, everything interesting was expensive AF (maybe the wrong source?) For off-brand medication (Indian generics of mainly PDE5i) i know some sources. Maybe the two (already FDA approved) components of NLS-133 would be sourceable this way.

Any sources where to get it? How about the Bimek-SLV? The inventor does claim he has it implanted, so it does "exist"? Cocooner? COSO?
