    Vasectomies are not permanent, they can be undone

    Edit: After some more reading on the subject it appears they are much less reversible than I had thought

      Very very very small chance the pain is permanent and subsists after reversal (AHHHHH!!!)

      Course we still drive ‘n’ stuff, and that leads to permanent risks… just FYI for anyone who didn’t know

        But that’s kind of like the very very small chance of an adverse reaction to a vaccine. Sure, it happens. But so close to never as to not worry about it.

        Obviously, any surgical procedure, even one that simple, comes with risks.

          Yeah definitely.

          VERY happily took C-19 vax for potential huge quality of life (or just living at all benefits). Can live without vasectomy so deprioritize it.

          Some dawgs, & perhaps especially happy monogamous men and their partners of course, out there will experience a significant bump in their enjoyment so it’s perfect for them!

          (In Kathy Newman’s voice) So you’re saying vasectomy is vaccination against kids?

        It’s also expensive and likely not covered by insurance
