Not suggesting hysterectomies as an alternative, just not getting the whole snip thing. Fair enough though, i can see that under certain circumstances it would make sense. Pills and condoms have always worked for me and always seemed quite straightforward but i guess maybe i'm firing blanks these days or have just been lucky not to have more than one kid.

That and the fact that you've never had full intercourse with an adult woman.

And judging by your username you've had too much intercourse with (fisting by) strangers.

It's really not that big a deal.
They don't even put you under. The worst part is the anesthetic they inject first. The only thing I could feel was when they cauterized things, and that was only a faint electric buzz.

I was sore for a few days, but not in agony. They say not to even wank for eight weeks. Believe me, for that eight weeks I didn't even want to think about it. But after I healed? No more worries, no more preparing with condoms or diaphragms, no more wife being on pills that made her even more irrational than usual. And after the divorce, I could be as spontaneous with women as I wanted without fear of babies.

Well worth it.

to not even wank for eight weeks?!
They didn't tell me that - the doctor just said that I needed about 30 shots to clear my pipes out, and I could start as soon as I felt comfortable.

A challenge! First of all, I phoned the then-Mrs at work the next day to tell her that it still worked. Then set about clearing the 30 shots in a couple of weeks - sadly, mostly on my own...

It was a bit different back in the 1940s when he had his done.

That was what my doc told me, anyway.
It was a bit difficult toward the end, but the first time we had a portion it didn't quite feel right on my side of things- it was still a little tender internally. But a week later I was back to normal, and haven't had any regrets about it at all.

Nor me. I was shitting bricks beforehand, was so worried...
...but it was really nothing to get in such a state over.

And knowing that I'm an affront to devout catholics everywhere is nice :)

'30 shots 'till empty'
same as a bottle of JD?

And if you decide you'd like to have another with a new woman you've fallen for and you realise isn't as psychopathic as the first wife, on or off the pill? And this new (possibly 'real') love of your life has to leave you because she wants children, leaving you bitter and resentful for the rest of your days?
Also - spontaneous without fear of babies? So you have bare-backed one-night stands? Good luck at the clinic.

All I'm saying is keep your options open, you never know what's round the corner...

Look at it as a bonus
if I suddenly ended up single and decided that I was going to "get back on the horse" then I'd never have to worry about contraception ever again - riding bareback forever more.
At my age (40) I'm not looking to sire a new philly and sew my wild oats.
