I was surprised at the discomfort.

most guys find it very difficult to allow another male to approach their testicles witha sharp knife.

I have the VASCLIP. It’s basically the same procedure as a vasectomy, but instead of cutting and knotting the vas deferens, the doctor just puts a rice-sized clip on each vas deferens. When my doctor did mine a few years back, he had done a few hundred and reversed about 10% of them with a 98% success rate. So, while not perfect, the VASCLIP is less destructive than a regular vasectomy and it’s much easier to reverse as you’re essentially just removing the clips (insted of having to reattach the vas deferens). It costs about $500 over-and-above the cost of a regular vasectomy. I felt some mild discomfort for about a day – no big deal.

Here’s some info:

I’ve never had any desire to have kids, but I also know that folks change their minds. So, I also have semen stored at a sperm bank in case I change my mind and I don’t want to bother having the VASCLIP removed – although I think it’s highly unlikely. The cost is about $250/year.

You rarely get a chance to have your cake and eat it too. In my opinion, the VASCLIP/sperm bank option is about as close as you’ll get.

A female friend of mine dated a guy who was in his mid-20s, childless, and who had a vasectomy after a girlfriend of his faked a pregnancy. Apparently it wasn’t easy to find a doctor willing to do the procedure. I can understand their thinking, as I have male friends who were convinced they never wanted kids when they were 23 who now are more open to the idea at 29 or 30.

Women entering the workforce created the biggest one time boost in American productivity and wealth ever. It indirectly helped fuel our binge on huge homes, gigantic wardrobes, luxury cars and omg shoes! The current American lifestyle demands two incomes. It has its pros and cons. The linked articles’ penultimate paragraph about how there are no more great works of art or science is a laughable joke. The past 40 years have been the most productive scientifically ever. We’re in the golden age of publishing and literature. Information travels the globe at the speed of light.
