Got one when I turned 40, one of the best things I’ve ever done. Women love it, no condoms, just creampies all day. (Obviously, still get tested for STDs) Don’t have to worry about kids.
Didn’t even hurt, the worst part was smelling my jizz tubes being burnt shut. Had a dull pain for a day or two, that was it. And insurance paid for it!
Don’t ruin your life with an accidental 18 year prison sentence, get snipped today! 🤣

Yes I got one in 2010. Never looked back. No kids. The vasectomy helped dodge three HUGE bullets of women who wanted to baby trap me.
Yes: I had a pregnancy scare with a girl when I was in my 20s. She didn’t want kids, I was in love with her, and Washington had free vasectomies at the time. It was fast, fairly painless and prevented unwanted pregnancies
Fast forward 20 years when I realized I wanted kids. Turns out vasectomies are incredibly expensive to get reversed, there’s a tiny window in which it’s viable, and every other option for having kids (adoption, surrogacy) is incredibly out of reach
She has kids now
That’s very nearly my story. My ex wanted me to get one back in college. I wanted kids, so, that should have been a sign that things wouldn’t work out. Fortunately, I did not go through with it. Still don’t have any children. Still want them but, not in the cards right now.
Had thought about getting one more recently but the cost and middling success rate for reversal makes that a non-option for someone who still thinks they want kids.
Got one >25 years ago. I had complications because I was dumb enough to help a friend change a tire less than 30 minutes after it was done, but the complications were just mildly inconvenient rather than painful.
I did it for multiple reasons; my ex-wife was on medication for a seizure disorder that would cause serious birth defects if she got pregnant, so pregnancy was completely off the table. By that point I’d also realized that I would not be a good parent. (I was diagnosed as being autistic about a decade ago; that’s probably why I’m usually in my own world, which isn’t a great trait in a parent.) I think that, with insurance, it cost about $100 at the time, which was expensive, but not outrageously so.
I have zero regrets, and I have zero children.
Yes, got mine after my 2nd kid was born. Definitely a good choice for me and my wife. Neither of us like condoms and every horminal birth control she’s taken has caused more problems than they were worth.
Same, after the second kid. We never use condoms, she was always on the pill, and its easier for me to get that snip and be done than have her deal with that fun all the time.
It’s medically dangerous for my SO to get pregnant, plus we live in a conservative state so the danger is much higher.
Pro tip: make sure your doctor believes you when you say you aren’t numb.
Got one in my early 30s. Wish I’d done it sooner! It’s a scary step to sterilize yourself, even if you’re sure you never want kids, but not only have I had no regrets, my appreciation continued to grow to this very day. I swear, any man without a vasectomy is a damn fool. Even if I wanted kids, knowing what I know now, I’d STILL have gotten one even sooner and tried to foster and adopt instead.
Got mine in my late 20s! Huge fan. A good part of it was really that I’ve never dated a person who has had great experiences with birth control. Also, y’know, creampies are hot.
Yep.
Don’t have to worry about bringing a human into a worse world than I am in.
After I got mine I would tell people, “Whatever happens 500 years from now, it’s not my fucking fault.”
I was planning to get one but later I realised that I was trans and hrt makes you infertile too. lmao
Same here. I did end up getting an orchi though, so maybe that kinda counts? Or extra counts?
Does it hurt?
it does maybe
Two for one, good on you
That’s poggers.
I had one done at 27 because I ever wanted kids. Had to fight with some doctors before one agreed to do it at that age. Unfortunately, insurance didn’t cover it, and I had to pay around 600€. But the ease of mind is priceless. I can only recommend getting a vasectomy to everyone who’s thinking about it!
Yes. Got it when I was 24. Appointment happened to be on a Valentines day. Didn’t have kids, didn’t want kids. Nearly 20 years later, still don’t have kids, still don’t want kids. Total cost was a $20 copay.
For some reason I had some pain during cauterization, which isn’t supposed to be possible, so maybe it was in my head. Other than that, no side effects.
The pain was your entire bloodline screaming.
Don’t worry, they calm down. lol
Yes. Got a dog, realized that responsibility was my limit and the heightened liability/cost of a child would send me to an early grave. Never desired kids anyways so snippy snippy!
No
I have multiple partners, so condoms are mandatory for STI prevention. And even if a condom breaks, my SO takes the pill (for hormonal reasons) and my other partners are men. So, there’s no risk of pregnancy.
You can still use condoms with men…?!
Sounds like OP does in fact use condoms with everyone.
I meant he could get a vasectomy and have unprotected sex with his SO while still having safe sex with other people, but I guess it’s just how it was negotiated.
Indeed, as we are an open couple, it was negotiated.
The deal is to do my best to avoid getting an STI (condoms, vaccines, PrEP and testing), AND to do my best to protect her in case I’d be unknowningly infected.
As I have some risky practices with my other partners (unprotected oral sex), I don’t pretend having safe sex.
Of course, and I do. But condoms are designed for penetration, and sex is not all about penetration.
Definitely, I’d rather do lots of other things than try to fuck someone with a condom.
Ooohhh, your wife won’t have unprotected sex b/c of the other partners. I figured you’d at least be able to be fluid bonded with your SO.
I’d rather say that thanks to my other partners, we share a very special bond when she ask me to tell her stories about sex between men. (Lots of women watch gay porn, btw)
Got mine after having my 4th kid in five years. I have no regrets, just relief.
Nope! My kid is almost grown up, and I want another one. Mid life crisis over here lol.
The first thing in this thread to make me squirm in discomfort.
