Have you heard of healthy unmarried/childless young men voluntarily getting vasectomies lately?

Last week a younger friend of mine told me he voluntarily got a vasectomy at 27. I thought that was crazy considering:

  • He’s in perfect health
  • He’s never been married nor has any kids
  • He’s well educated (just passed his state bar to become a lawyer) and never been in trouble. He has the means to support a child if it came down to it.
  • He’s definitely no manwhore. I’ve been around the block a few times and I know the type (I briefly was one myself years ago). I don’t see him having to worry about knocking up the wrong girl. Even if he did dabble in that lifestyle he’s the very cautious type and I highly doubt he would do something stupid and reckless (not using a condom).

I get it that a lot of young men and especially young women don’t want kids nowadays. I guess that getting your tubes tied or getting a vasectomy is a lot better than getting an abortion.

But still what if you change your mind later and there is nothing you can do about it?

Just FYI I am not going to personally shame people who voluntarily don’t want kids. But still your outlook can change when you get older. It’s one thing if you just couldn’t find a decent partner to have kids with but quite another if you are UNable to have kids now. I don’t get why the younger generation basically wants voluntarily go extinct. Yes kids are a ton of responsibility but there is a happiness they bring that can’t be replaced by anything else.

Superb Opinion

  • Yes, I have a younger colleague in my team who really contemplated it. I think it’s stupid. People change over time their priorities and aims in life. You’ll be surprised to see people capable of changing 180 degrees their strongly held convictions in seconds.

    Vasectomies are considered to be definitive. Yes, reversals exist but are in no way sure fire and you’ll always end up significantly less fertile than before.

    To me it’s like lemmings crashing from a cliff.

Most Helpful Guy

  • Vasectomy can get reversed and so to tube litigation (tubes tied). But yes I agree making this decision too early in life can have dire consequences when you are 30 and thinking about your legacy

    • Well reversing it is no guarantee. Fertility doesn’t get easier with age either and this makes it even more complicated.

Most Helpful Girls

  • I got my fallopian tubes removed (sterilizing as well as preventing a bunch of cancer risks) at 27.

    Best decision ever.

    Kids aren't for everyone. It isn't a big deal. People are allowed to choose for themselves.

    • Yep well I actually have nothing against people making their own decisions on this. I am against abortion (with exceptions) and I rather have people choosing to go sterile vs. making a much worse choice if an accident were to happen. But still this guy is extremely low risk of having an accident. What if he changes his mind years later? From what I’ve heard it’s much harder for men to have vasectomies reversed vs. women reversing their tubes getting tied.

  • Never heard of it from men, heard it from a few mentally weak girls though. I think it's great for people who sleep around, wish all of them would do it.

    • If he was manwhoring it up this would logically make sense. But he’s not even doing that. He could come across a decent woman at some point and now he has to tell her he’s sterile. He just permanently limited his options.

    • So he's a virgin? Yeah that pretty silly

    • Honestly I wouldn’t be 100% surprised if he was. I was at his 28th birthday and joked around saying “I recall 28 was a good year for action (dating)” and he reacted a bit uncomfortably and said “I don’t really care about that….” If he’s trying to do things fully legitimately I respect that. Truly I do. But I got a feeling he wasn’t treated to well by the ladies growing up because he’s “nice” (takes one to know one). But he’s not ugly though. He’s 6’ 2’’ and semi athletic. Anyway I’m not throwing shade on this guy. I already noticed a few other posters calling him a beta male and that bs has to stop. So what if he’s single and just not actively pursuing women. His romance life is no one’s business nor should he be mocked/bullied if he doesn’t have much of one. He’s not antagonizing anyone. Let him be. Doesn’t mean he’s “gay” either. But the vasectomy was a bit over the top. Highly unnecessary.

  • I don't know why they're wasting their money -- most of them will never get any pussy anyway... lol

    • Yeah but I don’t want to throw shade on this guy. I never heard him talk about politics. He’s most likely a democrat but he’s no modern rainbow warrior from what I have seen. I was semi like him in my early 20s and then found “my groove” in my late 20s and early 30s. I went nuts for a while. But I had a lot of close calls. I could easily knocked up the wrong girl but I was lucky I didn’t.

  • Makes sense

  • There are a lot of people that do notvwant to bring children into this world. They think climate change is real and if President Trump gets re elected we are all going to perish in flames

    • So we all just go extinct? It is true that not everybody should be a parent but a society that doesn’t reproduce is a dying society. I personally don’t have any kids. I just have never encountered a woman who would make a good mother (well actually I did once but she met me at the wrong time in my life). But I am not against having kids. Also I notice that when people become parents they often mature and improve themselves. Not always but having kids does change you.

    • I think that in most of these cases it is better that they are not allowed to reproduce.

  • My cousin who recently got married did. He is 29. Him and his wife do not want kids.

  • Sex can be very dangerous for men with false allegations and girls getting pregnant on purpose or lying about birth control. One mistake can cost a man his career and most of his paycheck for many many years.


    Vasectomy is a great sounding option compared to that risk.


    Some are taking it a step further with other optional surgeries to ensure their safety.

  • Yes - much cheaper than child support and accusations.

  • Wow hope it goes well

  • Yeah, plenty of sperm thieves looking to set themselves up for years to come, vasectomies won't stop them just makes conventional extraction less possible

    To really stop them you need a full clearance and lose the baubles

    • Okay buddy. Thank you for the feedback.

  • Hurray more of these please especially here in Africa!

    • Where you are at is a different story.
