Encouraging every man I know to get a vasectomy rn

Btw Planned Parenthood does them for a pretty affordable price and won't discriminate based on your age or how many (if any) children you have 😃

It’s quick, easy, and I believe it’s reversible. No need for any other forms of contraception.

@Straylight Relatively quick recovery too! Mine only took a few weeks to start feeling back to normal. Ice packs and ibuprofen were my friends, then everything was good

@Straylight There exists such a procedure as a vasectomy reversible, but it's... very often [i]not[/i] feasible because the human body is finicky, and vasectomies sometimes fail regardless. It's definitely important to get them, but they're not 'reversible' in a conventional sense and they definitely aren't the end-all be-all contraception.

@BlueVeins Ah. Well, nothings perfect I guess.

@Straylight As far as I know it's "reversible" in the sense that you can have some of your sperm stored JUST in case later on in your life you want to have a kid. Not "reversible" in the sense that they just resolder it like a wire and it restarts functioning as if nothing happened.

In any case, at least where I live, it's extremely difficult to find a doctor that will perform one unless you're well past your 40s.

@Elessar I had to talk to two urologists who told me that I was too young and needed to have kids first before they'd even consider it 🤦🏽‍♂️ Planned Parenthood made the process pretty easy tho, but maybe I just got lucky with the doctors I saw
