sounds like he really did go through them

"I would say it probably isn't offered to the typical college student, and quite honestly... also understand why (after having it). IUD's still have a little bit of a bad rap too... most of the problems were associated with the copper coil IUD, which is still offered & lasts 10 years as opposed to 5, but can cause more bleeding (Mirena causes less, after several months) among many other things."

It's hard to dispel a bad reputation if no one knows about the newer, better options
And yes, they're an insanely cheap method of BC. Maybe this will be an option to keep you from getting snipped

i don't see the big deal.

i know I was an "accident", and it makes absolutely no difference to me.

my brother-in-law had it done, it wasnt that bad for him, it is out patient procedure, if the woman gets her tubes tied, it is more complicated, and my sister said since the procedure for males is way less, than her husband was getting it done...and he didnt mind, had a boy and a girl and he didnt want any more kids. I think he was uncomfortable for a couple days but that went away pretty fast, if you want to talk about money, you get it done, it was much cheaper....

DON'T DO IT MAN. ITS A TRAP!!!!

You want to hang on to your boyz as looooooooooooooooooooooong as possible.

Well, if you're sure you only want one kid...I'm pretty sure my dad and most of his friends had it done back in the day. The guy I babysit for just had it done too, I watched the kids while he was at the appointment. Badda bing, badda boom.

Don't do something irreversible or practically irreversible. You never know how you might feel later on.

Congratulations on the new baby!

This will be #2, not the first. Hence why I'd be satisfied with cutting it off after that.

haha, you said cutting it off. sorry.

i'm considering getting it done and i don't have any kids.

I've heard of men getting this done and then afterwards they were not able to get an erection.

Maybe this isnt an issue anymore with Viagra.
