i have a lot of respect for men who decide to have vasectomies. men who have decided, themselves, on their own, without badgering or threat of bobbittization from a significant other. men who know themselves well enough and have the balls (pun intended) to say “i’ve had enough kids and i’m going to take it upon myself to do the responsible thing and ensure i don’t create an unwanted life” or “i do not want children now or in the future…”
\nmen’s perception of contraception has changed drastically (most guys i know wouldn’t think twice about putting a on a condom), but when it comes to sterilization they’re still cavemen at heart. even with a houseful of children and no desire for more, they’d rather send their wives or girlfriends under the knife or to the pharmacy every month to keep from procreating. they must<\/i> be able to spread their seed, whether they want to or not.
\ni understand the whole “don’t think i’m letting you near mr. big with that scalpel” reaction, but the truth of the matter is a vasectomy is a minor procedure when compared to a tubal ligation for women. it’s a filling as opposed to a root canal. hell, there is probably the same piddling amount of anesthetic involved for both.
\nso, to the handful of men i know who have taken this brave step, i salute you. to the rest of ’em, what are you waiting for? *cutting gesture with fingers* snip-snip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
