    I would say no. I don't believe in any type of elective surgery. I don't trust doctors. I don't trust the medical industry. God created you a certain way, and there was a reason for it. Additionally, they will probably take DNA samples and forward to the NSA and FBI, immediately.

    The reason God created me this way is that HE likes babies. I don't want to make no more babies. So now what? Here I am thwarting God's will again!

    What do you think the NSA and FBI are going to do with my DNA? Clone me? You do know how easy it is to get a DNA sample, right? Unless you incinerate all your garbage on premises, never eat in a restaurant, never go to a barber, and so on, it is a snap to get your DNA. So stop worrying.

    After that you get a take-home kit to squirt into to make sure none of your tadpoles are making it into your silly string.
    This was not my experience. I felt like a mule kicked me in the balls for a couple of days. That being said, the fact I no longer had to worry about having more kids was worth it. At the time we had five between us at home.

    I say that you do what's best for you. Can't really give a solid opinion without knowing more.

    But if you feel like you should get the snip, get it. If you don't want any more kids, and you're sure about it, that's the way to go.

    Well, I believe in proper family planning. There are a lot of options to do this. I may agree with vasectomy but I think there are other options to choose from. Good luck!

    Let's hear the other options!

    As far as I know, the options are as follows: Condoms (I HATE them so much I am considering letting some stranger stick a knife into my balls to avoid using them); tubal ligation for the woman (I would probably not ask this of any woman unless it was incidental to other needed surgery because it is invasive and certainly would not ask it of a childless woman still in child bearing years); IUDs (Maybe. But they seem to be associated with lots of problems.); Diaphram (pain in the ass to use, even less romantic than a condom, and not super effective, but they don't impair sensitivity so a possibility); the pill (the best solution IF the side effects are not a problem for the woman.); Coitus interruptus (Ummm . . .no.); The rhythm method (not reliable enough).

    Am I missing anything?

    That's pretty much what it comes down to. If you don't want anymore kids, the procedure effects you far less than a woman and sex doesn't change. It was a no brainer for me.

    And you don't have to worry about a woman aborting your child regardless of what you want.

    But your concern is my main concern. The sperm gets reabsorbed by the body and often results in the body developing anti-bodies to your own sperm. That's what scares me. I don't want to trigger some kind of immune funkiness.[/QUOTE]

    Do you have any auto immune disease? even the minor one? if no, then that alone greatly reduces your chances of having an autoimmune disease. Also unless you sex regularly or masturbate a lot, your body already absorbs a good amount of sperm. I think on average it refreshes your load every 2-3 days. Also it shouldn't affect your testosterone levels cos it is produced in the testicles and they don't cut the testicles during vasectomy.

    I would weight how good my pullout game is against my desire not to have a child before making that decision. For me right now, my desire for having a child is very high so getting a vasectomy is not something that is anywhere on my radar.

    Got this from an article titled
    Why Vasectomy Should be Your Last Option as a Birth Control Method

    Vasectomy Complications
    As with all surgical procedures, pain, infection, bruising and bleeding are the most common short-term complications associated with vasectomy. Blood may pool in the scrotum creating a hematoma (blood collection due to injury). The hematoma increases the risk for infection. But the infection is not a larger than life problem because effective antibiotics are only a prescription away. You can take analgesics to keep away the pain.

    Long-term complications of vasectomy include post-vasectomy pain syndrome and dementia. Post vasectomy pain syndrome prevalence is approximately 5% (one case reported in 20 vasectomies). The pain involves the testicles and epididymis and occurs only after certain activities such as ejaculation or physical activities.
    Vasectomy Reversal Rate
    Although men having vasectomy are largely comfortable with the procedure, an event that was not anticipated may occur and necessitate the reversal of the procedure. A vasectomy reversal surgery must be done in the hospital, but the success rate of this surgery is pretty low. Done within ten years of the vasectomy, the reversal surgery success rate is 55%. In other words, only half of the men get to enjoy the success of the reversal procedure. If done after ten years of the vasectomy, the success rate drops to 25%. It is advisable that men freeze some sperm before vasectomy so they won’t regret if a much-needed reversal fails.
    Correcting Misunderstandings
    Vasectomy DOES NOT:
    • Decrease sex drive
    • Affect sexual performance
    • Cause a man to become weak, less masculine, or less productive
    • Cause any diseases later in life
    • Prevent the transmission of STIs, including HIV

    Doesn't sound that scary if you asked me.

    IUD? I'm not all that familiar, but I know they're effective. I'd go with the pill over that though.

    When they analyzed the data, the team found a 10% overall increased risk of prostate cancer in those men who had a vasectomy.
    However, further analysis found vasectomy was linked to a stronger increased risk of more aggressive forms of prostate cancer: a 19% higher risk for advanced cancer and a 20% higher risk of the lethal form.
    Um, yeah. A great reason to not get one. I'm sure Zippy can tell us why we shouldn't be worried, but I wouldn't risk it.

    If you want kids... No.

    If you don't want kids... Sure, I guess. Like, if you don't feel birth control is effective enough to prevent pregnancy then yeah, sure. If you are worried about regret just freeze some of your sperm.

    I don't know what your motives are. Do what you feel is right, but also have a back-out plan.

    A vasectomy is snipping and tying off the vas deferens, which is a tiny tube that the sperm swim through from the testicles to the base of the penis. The prostate gland produces an alkaline fluid called semen (also called seminal fluid or prostatic fluid) which during ejaculation, carries the sperm to the promised land.

    No nerves cut, no impact on orgasm, testicles still produce sperm but they get absorbed, no high pressure in vas deferens. Your love juice no longer has sperm in it, that's all.

    I don't know about the increased cancer risk - I've never heard about that. I would consult with some medical professionals about that particular issue. Try to find doctors that do not make their living from doing vasectomies.

    They have some new IUDs that are supposed to be less problematic than they used to be, less invasive and I think are mostly plastic (used to be copper or some such).
