Vasectomy gang πβοΈ
Adding to this: as a mid-20s person, I was always told that I would not be able to get a vasectomy without certain stipulations, like already having children. That really pisses me off, since that defeats the entire point.
I recently talked to my doctor though, and they stated that that is not the case(for men, women evidently don't get to control their bodies). So for anyone else trying to get one, make sure to talk to your doctor. They may be able to hook you up.
Yeah I got mine no problem, but I found the urologist on the r/childfree wiki's list of doctors. Fuck reddit, but it is a good resource, and they have doctors for vasectomies and hysterectomies
I think this is one of those things that depends where you are. I've heard of guys trying to get vasectomies in the deep south getting the run around because they didn't have kids.
This is what I experienced in Oklahoma.
Vasectomy's are reversible while tube tieing is not. It's still bullshit females can't make that decision for themselves though.
Technically reversible, but in no way guaranteed.
However, if you can afford to freeze some sperm there's that option.
My gynecologist said I must be at least 35 and have a child for the procedure to be considered...
Vasectomies are meant to be permanent. Even if you get your vasectomy reversed, your fertility may never come back. Vasectomy reversal surgery is complicated and expensive, and doesnβt always work. So you should only get a vasectomy if youβre totally certain you donβt want to get someone pregnant for the rest of your life." - Planned Parenthood
Literally a five second google search will debunk your own point
Almost a year since I had mine done, my wife and I both enjoy it.

It wasnβt that bad. And Iβm glad I did it. No more kids.
Isn't there a risk from ball pain?
Like forever not for healing.
I think there is a slight risk of that, not sure. Not something to cheap out on, go for the best doctor you can
I come from a first world country so I don't think I would be paying or choosing a doctor.

I was worried about it hurting, and I'll be honest I could have done it over a lunch break at work. Almost zero pain, and my wife watched the surgery, which didn't even last as long as one Metallica song.
What I'm on about is a long term pain.
Something more like blue balls
It's been almost a year, and i feel completely normal. Zero pain.
