Yeah. Year ago I decided to take my money (over $800 including all checkups and gas) and make myself childfree.

Did doctor asked me am I sure? Yes Do I regret it? Hell no!

I had an internal giggle when I saw smoke coming from where my balls are (since procedure was painless)

Sometimes people tell me it wasn't smart, but they have kids so I ignore them.

I really hate the thought of having children :)

I have a friend who did the same at that age. 10 years later, he and his partner have decided they want kids.

I’m glad that you are happy and sincerely hope that you and your future partners remain happy with this choice for the rest of your life.

For others of your age who might be considering the same, I must say that I do generally discourage making permanent life choices before full frontal lobe development. That is a tome of your life where you’re going through an incredible amount of change, your values and what you want in life might not be the at 21 and 26.

You may not understand how insulting and condescending your comment is.

Just because breeding is the default, you shouldn't be proselytizing against sterilization.

Think what they are trying to say is why making a serious commitment like this when you can use readily available over the counter solutions like condoms.

Which I agree with. But I don't condemn anyone here - you do you 😃

when you can use readily available over the counter solutions like condoms.

If wrongly used, the probability of conception exceeds 20%.

A well done vasectomy reduces the probability to near 0%.

No comparison.

Which it's known to be the case for most people.

Wasnt really trying to make a point here because as I said - you do you/do what works for you but

Its like an actual statistic - not "From what I heard"

And where are the numbers about how many people use it wrong?

And again, you don't seem to understand that even 2% is too fucking high. The objective is zero. Are you able to understand that?
