Yeah. Year ago I decided to take my money (over $800 including all checkups and gas) and make myself childfree.

Did doctor asked me am I sure? Yes Do I regret it? Hell no!

I had an internal giggle when I saw smoke coming from where my balls are (since procedure was painless)

Sometimes people tell me it wasn’t smart, but they have kids so I ignore them.

I really hate the thought of having children :)

    My concerns typically would lie in the sense of manufactured risk when lower risk options are readily available and effective.

    What “risk” are you talking about for a vasectomy? It’s an ambulatory procedure. Care to explain?

    Condoms are inexpensive, especially when you’re comparing to a surgical procedure. Condoms have a reasonably good efficacy when properly used, and is increased significantly when used alongside other contraceptives (not to mention the additional benefits of lowering risk of STIs/STDs).

    You are grossly underestimating the need for most truly convinced childfree people to reduce the probability as close as possible to an absolute zero. Not even vasectomy reaches that, but it’s very close.

    And just as an added question for you, if these surgeries were not reversible at all, would your views on this change?

    No. Less children raised by unprepared parents is always a good idea.
