Blows my mind that vasectomies are the less common procedure. Got mine done cheaply many years ago. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Partner got tubes done recently (so that insurance couldn’t deny her for medically necessary hysterectomy later, what a dumb system we have) and she was miserably bedridden for quite a while, with the scars to prove it. Would have been expensive if she wasn’t maxed for out-of-pocket already.
Anyone have a sane explanation?
Toxic masculinity, all my friends that don’t want to be convinced have the worst excuses possible but most times it’s about not wanting to feel like a lesser man.
No offense but your friends sound stupid.
If I’m not mistaken I live in the place where vasectomy is the most common and some people still think like that. Talk to your the people around you and you’ll see.
Lots of people are stupid.
In many ways, our society encourages such stupidity.
That’s so bizare, since I swapped out to unleaded we fuck constantly and not worry about contraception. nothing makes you feel like more of a man than fucking raw dog every chance you get.
Doesn’t prevent some of them from doing it and just pulling out, they believe that nothing will happen because nothing has happened yet…
Women are treated as objects
On the flip side, I was up and working out three days after my bisalp. And my friend who got a vasectomy was bedridden for a week. I think they’re pretty comparable, it’s just a game of rock paper scissors whether you’ll have the easy or the hard recovery.
They are usually not comparable. I walked home from my vasectomy and worked. I wasn’t bedridden at all and that seems to be the norm.
Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I get that reference, but also I’d like to support the statement. I’ve sat on my couch for 2-3 days, frozen peas in my lap and just took it slow. A week later I could barely tell that anything changed.
Well me and my wife are thinking about having another child. Haven’t decided yet. So not getting it done.
That’s completely irrelevant to the question they asked.
Go ask Lemmy for a refund
Getting your vas deferentia snipped is tight!
vas deferential
Maybe you’re making a joke I don’t get, but otherwise: It’s called vas deferens
Wow wow wow, there is a whole lot of Ryan George all over this thread, good to see. He does skits on YT, look up - Pitch Meeting
Sorry, what is the connection to any of what we said?
It was the answer to the “Joke I don’t get” that I replied to
Autocorrect got me. Plural is vas deferentia.
Ah, I see. Plural is vasa deferentia though. You have to put the noun itself in plural too, not just the participle.
