Planned Parenthood Great Plains is holding a free two-day vasectomy clinic next month, and all the spots filled up in less than 48 hours.
I got one 2 years ago. Super easy and much less pain than kids. I felt like I got kicked in the balls 10 minutes ago for a few days. Worth it.
Don’t make your ladies have a more invasive surgery. Just get it done.
I had mine 14 years ago 100% free all thanks to Plan Parenthood. No pain for me and I was back in action after 5 days. Wife at time had no problem giving me the 20 our so releases I needed to make sure I was clesn of active sperm.
So after doctors said I was clean said goodbye to condoms and never been freeier.
They say you can get easily reverse so see no reason why women should suffer under a horrible surgery and be out of action for 6 to 8 weeks. When it takes 30 minutes and all well in 5 days.
Fyi mine also done here in Oklahoma but Tulsa area. I had to wait only 2 months for a slot.
They say you can get easily reverse
That’s not true, reversal is much more invasive and not guaranteed to work
I was more upset that I had to wait the full 6 months to test, but it didn’t matter since I failed the first time anyway…
I agree, but the sad part is this is being done because abortion is illegal there now. It’s being done out of desperation, not because someone wants it done.
I understand the sentiment, but supporting this is sort of conceding the anti-abortion laws are there to stay and I don’t think we should accept that.
If you want to get a vasectomy, fine. That’s a personal choice. But the reason so many men are signing up for a free vasectomy isn’t because it’s a good financial deal. It’s because we’re losing the fight and we need to start winning it again.
Fewer unwanted kids, I can get behind.
If you’re talking about global sustainability, it’s a little more complicated than just “less is better”.
This is such a short sighted and selfish thing to say.
I had a vasectomy, for many of the reasons stated here (the most important one being so my wife didn’t have to put her own body through any more trauma).
But I had 3 beautiful, healthy and perfect kids first
I agree that ladies shouldn’t have to get the much more invasive surgery, but I’ve never met a woman who regretted her hysterectomy.
Don’t make your ladies have a more invasive surgery. Just get it done.
word, the differences in their longterm health outcomes are ridiculous with hysterectomy. We still get our testosterone and dangly bits, we just, er, cut the swimmers off at the pass. not having to worry about condoms / bc / etc? priceless.
That is if you can find a doctor who will give a recommendation for one. My partner has endometriosis and has wanted an oblation for a while but nobody will give her the ok cuz she’s in her 30’s and “she could still have kids if she wanted to.”
I thought stuff like that was a meme but she can’t find anyone. The first doctor I met with just wanted me to know a vasectomy was permanent and he gave me some vallium. $200 and 20 minutes was all it took for me and she’s STILL looking to get an oblation :/
Went in, doctor numbed my balls without an injection, opened with laser, snip snip, cauterized the ends, clip on as a safety, apply some glue to close the openings, 10 minutes total, here’s a Coke to put some sugar in you, buhbye!
Fuck man mine was 4k good for these guys
Damn man, I got lucky and insurance took care of most of it.
This is going to sound condescending but i mean it. Good for you for being happy for these dudes instead of upset about it.
Too many times (especially recently) i see people angry that others get something they didn’t. Its nice to see and restores my faith in humanity when i read things or hear things like your comment.
Thanks man, i really needed that.
I wanted to say the same thing about being happy for others. A lot of people I know got super angry about student loan forgiveness. The forgiveness wasn’t even full forgiveness, and it never even went through for most people, but they still found a way to complain about how nobody deserved forgiveness because when they were in school in prehistoric times they paid their way through and people today are just lazy and pick worthless majors.
Damn man, I got lucky and insurance took care of most of it.
That just means you still paid for it, but with extra steps. Namely, premiums being taken out of your paycheck and a lower gross salary to cover the “employer’s portion”.
Wanted one since I was 18, finally got it at 36. Couldn’t be happier
I ended up being one of those people who needs more numbing than normal people, which is not the most pleasant thing to learn during your vasectomy.
That said, even after 4 separate breaks to apply more lidocaine, I had a super smooth experience and was pain free after the first day. Had to force myself to take it easy for a week, and didn’t even need ibuprofen. Getting kicked in the nuts is way worse.
do you have ADHD by any chance?
lidocaine is sometimes ineffective for people with ADHD.
I also found out lidocaine was ineffective for me while they were cutting out a birthmark
Well, I’ll be damned. Also, if you’re a woman with adhd and are PMSing, apparently lidocaine has about a 25%effectiveness rate.
Wild.
yeah it was a wild experience, cuz I felt the blade cutting me, but I was like, surely just my mind playing games, then I started going into shock (according to the nurse) I was white and could-sweating so they upped the dose and still felt most of it, I usually felt pain at the dentist too, then I started mentioning that I have issues with the “standard” numbing agent because I forgot the name and since then going to the dentist is a breeze, get the stuff, get numb, stuff is done.
