I've been there done that, lol. I'm old and already did the contraception and condoms long ago. Have 2 children now, do not want more. It sounds like a nice alternative to snipping, but I just can't trust it. We are fine, and im sure menopause is not far away for her.

Don't fear the snip.

🎶All our times have come

Here, but now they're gone

Seasons don't fear the snipper

Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain 🎶

I think it's mostly a matter of being quasi irreversible rather than fear of surgery. That's a huge decision to take if you don't have children.

True. AFAIK the procedure itself is irreversible, but you can still have kids with in vitro if you dumb your mind.

Don’t fear the snip. Mine was almost entirely painless and it’s really nice to have one less thing to worry about.

Only side effect is now my right testicle dangles lower than my left.

Agreed. I was hoping for vasalgel work out, got tired of waiting, and got the snip.

There's lots of anecdotal evidence that orgasms are actually better afterwards. I tend to agree, but it's something that's ~~easy~~ hard to study properly. Edit: god, that was bad wording.

I think the orgasms are better because you don’t have the worry of pregnancy

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

I dunno, I get better orgasms when jerking off, too. But again, hard to say for sure.
