There's a reason they call it snipping. There is no knife involved. You can't feel the snipping, just hear it.
So Scissors + Balls = Better than knife?
Still not something I wanna think about at the moment. Maybe in 20 years...
Makes it quicker and more precise I would think.
Perhaps not. But for those that don't want children but still like picking up chicks on the weekend it would be the responsible thing to do.
I agree. Lots of people change their minds (or their partners) in their 30s and 40s. That could happen with you as well.
Don't get snipped. Just say this:
"Honey, once we get married, where I plan on putting it every time, you can't get pregnant."

I had one earlier this year after our second child was born. It's incredibly easy, very simple and complications are quite rare. There was very little pain, at least for me, other than a dull ache that was gone in about two days (and they gave me some good drugs to deal with that). Within a week everything was back to normal.
If you don't want children, or are done having children, I definitely recommend it as a permanent method of birth control.

I shadowed a urologist for a while when I was in undergrad, and assisted in several vasectomies.
One rule this particular doctor had is that he would not snip anyone who didn't have children. I think of this as a good rule to have. You may very well change your mind. The people we helped had their lives set.
35% Chronic pain seems really high. I don't remember him giving that as a statistic to people who were thinking about it.
It is a really simple procedure, just find the vas deferens, make a hole, snip and burn. It usually took 15 minutes and most people had little pain during the procedure.
IMO you are to young to do this. The fact that you acknowledge the possibility you may change your mind about wanting children is enough not to do it.

I've thought about getting one at 33 years old as that seems like the only way a respectably nice looking lady would ever consider touching me ever again. The women my age don't want kids with average guys. They want to get their claws into some drunk / high gangsta fool or degree-toting drooling TOS Galactica / Star Wars geek no other (woman with standards) would dare hook-up with, fuck-buddy or otherwise.
I am seriously thinking about getting one. My girlfriend and I are in our 40's and just aren't kid people. She takes BC, but it is hard on her because it kind of plays havoc with her hormones. Never heard the 30% pain statistic. My doctors have told me it is a simple procedure. I am sure before surgery they can give you all sorts of stuff to keep you calm and sedate. Just ask yourself why you don't want kids. Is it something related to your current situation or is it something based on the way you feel you are as a person. The former might not be a good reason to get one while the latter would be.

I had one decades ago, haven't regretted it one bit. And now that I've been in a long term relationship, condoms stay in the closet.
You wont need anything beforehand. Just decide if this is the best route to go and then just do it. Lay back and let them do their stuff. Just make sure you buy a good athletic supporter for the ride home and the next day or so. You don't want any stress from hanging.
Ordinarily I'd think that this sort of thing would be good for me (since I know I will never want kids) but...yeowww. I'm not sure I'd want the concept of "burn" anywhere near my junk.
I'd have to agree with this as well. I have no interest in getting a vasectomy--now or at any point in the future.
Bitter?
Get a separation if that's the kind of love your high-maintenance other half insists on. There are plenty of other ways not to have kids without some 'surgeon' taking a shot at your testicles. You think I'm being an A-hole. Life is an A-hole. I know this one dude in my old company who's friend got the snips and then months his wife ends up preggers. I was LMFAO at that one
sounds like he will save a small fortune and only a 5% chance at complications
