any men regret their vasectomy?

smurkcarter · 2025-11-24T05:02:50+00:00

two kids, no regrets.

RealUSMC · 2025-11-22T16:14:49+00:00

No regrets. One of the best decisions.

MarriageIsMiserable · 2025-11-22T04:53:20+00:00

100% regret it. Had mine after our second child. Now I want another kid so bad it hurts.

Retying3043 · 2025-11-21T18:08:08+00:00

Regret, hell no. Wish I would’ve gotten it sooner.

NetherworldMuse · 2025-11-21T11:14:55+00:00

Had one when my kid was under 1, best thing I did. Couldn’t get hit with that “I want another kid” BS, and post-divorce it’s the best thing I ever did.

5/5⭐️highly recommend.

Physical-Pie748 · 2025-11-20T20:51:01+00:00

i recommend to every men to freeze their sperm and get a vascetomy. in western countries you have no rights, if you enter her body, its her body her choice, you have no say or power. she can keep the baby, throw free rape allegations against you without consequences and or regret it the next day, she can keep the child and use it against you.....dont let any woman trap you with a pregnancy

My husband got one when he was around 24/24 when we had our 3rd and last child. We both regret it now in our 40s wishing we would have had another. But if he didn’t we would have probably had half a dozen or so by now. lol So we decided to be financially smart and solve that before it happened. We have fostered babies and it’s been amazing. We may look in to fostering more in the future as well as adoption. Too many kids are in this world needing help and wanting a loving home. I will never win the lottery or get rich because that money would go back into the community. Helping those in need. Especially in the system.

Friendly-Platypus607 · 2025-11-21T03:29:08+00:00

I wanted to get one but I chickened out...

Now I'm expecting my 4th child.

I don't regret it but man probably should still go ahead and get it now.

It just makes me feel weird thinking about them cutting me down there.

survivingtheyellowbr · 2025-11-20T20:25:22+00:00

Best thing I did after by Divorce...allows you to live a little :) with some security and with no surprises. Healed in a few days and was back it, no difference in feeling or sensation. My diapers days are behind me, yeah there cute but I will appreciate kids from the window. Mine are already grown.

IceDue123 · 2025-11-20T18:26:19+00:00

Hell no! I got one after my divorce and since I’m never getting married again I felt the only way I could really f@@@ up my life was to get somebody pregnant. My urologist agreed

AdmiralMcNugget · 2025-11-20T18:24:15+00:00

Got mine after 1 child. Love it, no regrets, especially post-divorce.

narkj · 2025-11-20T17:49:31+00:00

I had a vasectomy. Had another kid. Still have vasectomy.

SorryCantHelpItEh · 2025-11-20T16:55:51+00:00

Reading through all this as someone who is booked in to get snipped next wednesday, it's very reassuring! I've been debating getting one for years, and I'm finally biting the proverbial bullet lol. For what it's worth, though, four of my friends have had the snip and not a single one of them has regretted it!

CrazySanta7 · 2025-11-20T15:16:53+00:00

Zero regrets. Worst case get it reversed

rb5775 · 2025-11-20T14:17:38+00:00

Had 1 child. Was lied to about contraceptive use by ex. She went on to use children as a cottage industry with 2 other men. Love my son. Got a vasectomy at 29. Great idea. Never shared that information. Was 'pregnancy scared' after that. It is amazing what people will do.

RoutineWriter7304 · 2025-11-20T13:36:01+00:00

Depends. Do you want (more) kids? It’s pretty simple. I had it done after my 2 kids - didn’t want anymore. Kids are the best, being a dad has been among the best parts of my life.

Carefree sex afterwards is amazing. No little concerns in the back of your mind about adding a munchkin to the world…made it more enjoyable.

You will know when it’s time

Helpful-Paramedic463 · 2025-11-20T12:23:23+00:00

Hell no.

LoganBerry84 · 2025-11-20T12:01:58+00:00

Best decision I ever made.

Reddit_censorship_2 · 2025-11-20T11:40:04+00:00

Hell the fuck no

Freeman2be · 2025-11-20T11:36:52+00:00

Appreciate this thread. Mid-age with young adult kids, divorcing, and considering the procedure to prevent any surprises (and terrified of the prospect of being "trapped" by a younger woman). Honestly, even if irrational, a little scared to have it done.

Fawn001 · 2025-11-20T08:49:18+00:00

I had one at the ex request a few months before she left.

upvotersfortruth · 2025-11-20T08:38:44+00:00

I wore a tuxedo to mine. If I was going to be impotent, might as well look important. #BadumTsh

Hairy_Drummer_9648 · 2025-11-20T08:22:39+00:00

Best thing I did, I do get some pain sometimes though.

Consistent-Cry-9452 · 2025-11-20T08:17:16+00:00

Never done it, never will do that, the more kids the merrier, i have 3 with my ex, my new gf want kids, bring them on.

Kids will always be mine, i love kids i love being a dad. They are the best friend, family, companion you can ever have, they bring joy to life.

Decon_SaintJohn · 2025-11-20T08:06:33+00:00

I absolutely do not regret having mine 100%.

Suspicious_Dot6179 · 2025-11-20T07:12:35+00:00

I almost had a vasectomy, then met the girl of my dreams and married 1 year after my divorce. We have the CUTEST little girl, she is our joy. I recommend holding back on a vasectomy unless you are 100% sure.

6StringFiend · 2025-11-20T06:41:13+00:00

Divorce this year and turning 50. Looking to get it done next year.

superman_410 · 2025-11-20T06:35:21+00:00

I regret it, i have 2 daughters, had the 2nd one and got the vasectomy and then the wife cheated and we divorced, now im with a new woman who wants a kid and i wouldnt mind another kid either

dober88 · 2025-11-20T05:45:01+00:00

I've been looking into it very recently but the increased risk of prostate cancer has me ambivalent about it.

ClassicDwayne · 2025-11-20T05:42:02+00:00

Nope have had it a few year. Became single beginning of the year after a 12 year relationship failed and have been fortunate enough have been able to hook up with a few women who with clean results allowed for me to go raw. So worth it

muscularmusician · 2025-11-20T05:34:53+00:00

Been snipped over a year. Don't regret it at all.

Icy-Friendship1163 · 2025-11-20T05:09:40+00:00

No kids,no regrets.

Better avoid the potential danger than the potential benefices.

CuratorOfYourDreams · 2025-11-20T04:46:27+00:00

HotCut100 · 2025-11-20T04:14:16+00:00

None.

Bagman220 · 2025-11-20T04:07:22+00:00

My ex-wife got fixed after the fourth kid.

I will never get a vasectomy. But I am done with kids. So if single me has an oops or something with the wrong person, they can deal with it.

Apprehensive-Cost496 · 2025-11-20T03:34:30+00:00

No regrets, was done with kids when I got it done. Gave cheating exw the boot and been dropping loads trouble free ever since

CRobinsFly · 2025-11-20T03:28:20+00:00

Not at all. After the fact, I have found it hilarious how overt at-wall women are in their attempt to babytrap. Too bad they dont know those are blanks.

Morsecode14 · 2025-11-20T03:03:18+00:00

Pressured by my ex wife to get a vasectomy, even though she knew I wanted more children. But she had difficult deliveries of our boys and was hesitant about having any more so I gave in. Barely six months later..you can guess the rest. Apparently making your husband get snipped only to cheat on him is a thing, cause I hear about it all the time in this and other subs. I actually have complications from my procedure as I’m still in pain years later so a reversal is out of the question. All types of test have been done but they cannot find out what’s wrong, all I can assume is a damaged nerve somehow. The emasculation of your wife having you sterilized to go fuck other men raw is otherworldly.

Professional-Lab-157 · 2025-11-20T03:01:34+00:00

Yes, I had mine reversed and had 2 more kids afterwards. I then got another vasectomy.

Firm-Assumption-77 · 2025-11-20T02:55:19+00:00

Wish I had gotten it done before I had kids, would've saved me from the daily hell #1 puts me through. Now she's trying the tactic that my second Adult kid is schizophrenic and she needs back child support from 2 yrs ago when he was still 18 plus continued ongoing support indefinitely.

rowman_nahledge · 2025-11-20T02:46:56+00:00

Had one with the worst fckn bitch…and then my dumbass had 2 more with my current wife. I love em all to death but hells fck no!! Shouldve had it done at 18 and avoided kids all together.

fruittidemare · 2025-11-20T02:44:38+00:00

Nah , one son and done

henrysmyagent · 2025-11-20T02:42:39+00:00

Already had 4 kids spread over 2 wives when I got snipped.

I've done my bit for king and country.

BathAutomatic6972 · 2025-11-20T02:36:01+00:00

Its_a_stateofmind · 2025-11-20T02:33:52+00:00

No, but I do miss that balls empty feeling…

Calm_Tomato · 2025-11-20T02:23:20+00:00

Nope. Stopped at 3 kids. I’m happy I got it.

Reasonable-Glass-965 · 2025-11-20T02:20:07+00:00

My ex wife had me get one. And then was cheating on me two months later 🙃 she knew I wanted a bigger family and she didn’t want.

adl3026 · 2025-11-20T02:16:03+00:00

I got mine 18 years ago at the age of 45, just before I got married. I had a 9 yr old son and my fiance had 2 kids the same age range. We didn't want any more. It was great during the marriage and after getting divorced 7 years ago. No worries about any "oops" since I am still seeing women in their fertile years. Many women have been happy to hear of my shooting blanks.....lol Never regretted it for a moment.

deaflenny · 2025-11-20T02:11:46+00:00

Hell no!

yaboyebeatz · 2025-11-20T02:11:03+00:00

If you’re in this sub, the only answer should be NO.

ChiefsGuy2014 · 2025-11-20T02:08:20+00:00

Not a single bit.

TasteWorking9338 · 2025-11-20T02:05:53+00:00

Fuck to the no lmao

Far-Government3551 · 2025-11-20T02:04:40+00:00

Nope not me
