Yes, and they're safer than women getting their tubes tied by a wide margin. There is no guarantee a reversal will work though so if you're on the fence about kids either wait or freeze some of your sperm and plan for IV or something like that.

Unless you want to pay child support for 200,000 children, I would hold off on freezing /s

This is good but to add on, it's generally safe but is still a surgical procedure and can lead to complications.

Anyone should still do their due diligence to make sure this is the right move for themselves.

This is a good call out. It's one of the lowest risk surgical procedures you can have but low risk ≠ no risk.

There is the high level info from the provider that I went to in case anyone is curious, it can be found here.
