    A vasectomy in my twenties was the best decision I ever made.

    10/10, would snip, tie and burn again.

      If something like this had been about I’d have had it done at 21 rather than my wife fucking up her hormones with the pill for a few years before we ended up getting the permanent snip.

        Covered by public health care where I am. Just mentioning this as a reminder to look into it wherever you live before assuming it’s expensive.

        Are you sure? My insurance covered it in my late 20s (2018) and it came out to $500 out of pocket. Not cheap, but the peace of mind is huge.

          For me its something like 2500 in the private hospital because public system doctors will refuse to do it if you are “young” and have no kids
