What are your thoughts on vasectomies?

If a vasectomy makes a woman lose attraction, then it's most likely because she wants kids, and that shouldn't concern you if you don't want them.

I wouldn't listen to anyone trying to tell me that a vasectomy is "bad" or "good," it's up to the individual man and if they want kids or not.

Vasectomies are excellent for avoiding unwanted pregnancy, especially baby trapping.

They don't make women lose attraction. Just the opposite.

Emasculating? Nonsense.

And going bareback? Nothing better.

I recommend it for all men who don't want (more) kids.

I don’t feel like it’s something you should do before you’re about 30. That being said, you can do whatever you want. But there’s something to be said about the reversibility of it. Yes they’re reversible. But the longer you wait, the less likely the reversal will be successful. So it’s not something that should just be done all willy nilly. And especially not if you have any inclinations of ever having a family. Unless adopting doesn’t bother you.

I wouldn’t really consider it emasculating either.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with vasectomies. If you choose not to have children, go ahead and get the snip. This has more to do with whether a man wants to have a family, than the nature of heterosexual relationships. At least, this is in my RP opinion

flextov · 2025-02-04T02:49:39+00:00

I don’t want one.

I haven't considered doing it.

Werevulvi · 2025-02-05T05:56:40+00:00

I'm neither really for or against it. I can see good reasons for men to do it if they really don't want children, to protect themselves from being baby trapped, but I can also see good reasons against it for young men who may wanna focus on just casual sex now but who may want to become fathers when they're older.

I have basically the same opinion on women getting their tubes tied. Although there is a big difference in alternatives of birth control for men vs women, and that if pregnancy happens men have a lot less say in whether that child should be born or not. But people wanting children is still a biological instinct that most adults will have sooner or later, whether male or female, and for that I don't think it's rational or kind to talk about sterilization like it's no big deal. It is a big deal, whether you're for or against it.

Ultimately I don't want to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do with their own bodies, assuming they are consenting adults, and I don't know if either (vasectomy or no vastectomy) is a good solution for men in general.

But that said, a vasectomy doesn't reduce a man's masculinity imo. As far as I know it has little to no negative effect on testosterone production or sexual function (ie pleasure, erection, etc) but of course a man being sterile is going to be off-putting to women who want to have children.

Schleudergang1400 · 2025-02-05T14:25:31+00:00

I am not sure i want kids. A vasectomy is too high risk to not be reversible, for not enough benefit. Hookups are condom + female contraceptive most of the time anway. Relationship sex is one of both most of the time.

I am generally open for a vasectomy, when i am done with family planning or know i don't want children. But i don't think it will change hookups requiring condoms, just for the STDs alone, but also because why should a woman trust me that i got a vasectomy? A friend of mine got a vasectomy and his gf got pregnant from him regardless.

kvakerok_v2 · 2025-02-05T15:35:35+00:00

Just like with tube tying, those who want them should get them.

It's certainly a good money saving move against baby trapping.

abaxeron · 2025-02-04T09:04:35+00:00

Vasectomies are great; in an ideal world, every man should get one. In the current system where a woman can rape a man, rob him of his sperm, and still have the privilege to sue him for child support (making sperm the only substance in the Universe that has a legal owner but is still legal to steal), it should be as much of a common precaution as self-defense measures for women.

Realistically, however, even here on PPD we had stories of men whose vasectomies have left them with life-long severe side effects, so the risk is also there.

The best idea around vasectomies I've heard on PPD is to provide them for free and award a top-tier gaming console to whoever decides to get one before having babies. Insta-purge of gene pool from high time preference. Spread the same privilege onto women who get their tubes tied (because equality).

In curious details, CDC data brief:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db388.htm

as of 2017-2019, 18.1 percent of the US women were sterilized, and 5.6 percent of men.

That's... more women than I expected.

Vasectomies is sexual castration I would never get one even if I no longer wanted kids

A-Queef-In-The-Night · 2025-02-04T12:48:37+00:00

I say don’t get one. I personally just use a condom.

goo_wak_jai · 2025-02-04T21:44:47+00:00

Indifferent.

The USA is already introducing trace levels of soy into our everyday diet from GMO's, processed foods and even those minimally processed foods. It's practically inescapable just like the use of corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup and all their variants of sugar.

We're getting fat and lowering our sperm count just by eating, which means estrogen in men are also on the rise as well as ADD, ADHD, gluten allergies, etc.

Getting a vasectomy would be overkill but I guess it can't hurt as an additional layer of security against unwanted pregnancies.

Select-Boysenberry90 · 2025-02-04T02:58:59+00:00

I personally don't like it. I like the natural vibes ya dig?

berichorbeburied · 2025-02-04T04:13:42+00:00

Vasectomies are stupid

Who handicaps themselves or disables themselves

Because they can’t master and dominate their impulses

One mark of a man is supposed to be intelligence

Who neuters themselves as a man

This is dumb

You’re speaking about eugenics at that point

nnuunn · 2025-02-04T04:27:40+00:00

I'm not half-castrating myself just so a woman doesn't have to get an IUD every few years.

PIF_Daddy · 2025-02-05T06:47:56+00:00

I would only get one after I'm firmly done with breeding.

I can't risk my legacy over them being reversible.
