I’ve never wanted kids, it’s just not my thing. I’ve been thinking about getting a vasectomy for quite a while now, and I finally decided to take the next step. I called a clinic, went in for a consultation, and the doctor explained everything thoroughly. My procedure is scheduled for a little over two weeks from today. My family is strongly against it. They believe I’ll change my mind as I get older and end up regretting it.


Are you in an emergency? And have you evaluated alternatives ?
There are long but reversible ways to avoid male’s fertility ; such as temperature method ; which aren’t advertised because they are not profitable to sellers.
Basically, at body temperature, balls don’t produce semen (they are naturally hanging out in order to be cold enough). So any tight and heat keeping underware may work. Maintain them at body temperature at least 16h a day. After 2 monthes, check your sperm count with over the counter tests, if your count is clearly too low you are doing things right.
To reverse it, wear underwares that allow your balls to hang and refresh themselves. Count 2 to 3 monthes to fully recover.
There are also chimical alternatives, and some tools to make the temperature method “more secure” (if that tools really work).
Vasectomy may still be the best for you, but you may feel more confident in doing it if you know why you prefers it to alternatives.
