Because it means you’ll never have to use a connndommm…
when you "do it" with your wiiife…
Or anyone else that you do it with…
We promise not to tell…
(Etc., etc. You know the song.)
Because it’s the most effective birth control and you get to just dump loads into your partner without worry as much as you want. Also, kids change the entire rest of your life, and are so expensive, loud, annoying, and the most responsibility you’ll ever have in your life.
It’s reliable and less traumatic than many options for women. Assuming you don’t want more kids ever, it’s a good option. If you are a guy, it also puts control in your hands instead of relying on somebody else.
Because it’s easy, reliable and something a man can control. You don’t need someone else to take a pill every day and hope it regulates her hormones properly, you just need to find out that a snip actually cut something.
Also, Reddit is also extremely anti-having kids or getting married. And very pro divorce and “cut them off” towards family members if there’s even a small amount of issues.
It’s just a no-brainer. It’s way less invasive and much safer than a hysterectomy. IUD’s have a ton of drawbacks. The hormones are horrible for a lot of people and require strict daily adherence. Just one quick procedure and you never worry about pregnancy again.
I don’t even remember it being particularly painful. It was just a good excuse to take a super lazy vacation – I got really high and played many videogames.
Holy cow! My vasectomy was easily the best money I have ever spent. I never have to worry about the consequences of my actions beyond a trip to the clinic for an occasional check up.
Reddit has a lot of people in the "child free" camp. It’s also filled with people who are desperate for validation on Reddit. Guys in their 20’s see on Reddit that other guys in their 20’s are getting their shit snipped so they do it too. They convince themselves since they don’t want kids now, they never will. I thought that once too. Then I got married in my 40’s and changed my mind. I’m glad this wasn’t a trend when I was younger.
Vasectomies are awesome. I’ve been shooting blanks since the mid-Nineties. Never have to worry about fathering a child I don’t want, or causing a woman worry about an unwanted pregnancy. Well worth the brief discomfort and inconvenience!
It’s pretty easy to get done. But yeah on the Reddit thing – I got called out by some militant person when I said my wife got a salpingectomy, even after I said it was an add-on while she was open from a c-section.
Reddit is very anti-kids. Vasectomy is a mans best way to avoid kids and avoid rubbers.
I’ve got one kid, and a vasectomy. Wife and I decided we didn’t want any more kids. It was an easy procedure although uncomfortable to think about. Barely felt the snips, just some pressure. Dick works fine now, no regrets. Don’t have to worry about her BC failing, rubbers, or anything like that. I’m 100% sterile. I still ejaculate just as much, precum just as much, and function the same as before. I literally can’t think of any downsides, was cheap too.
If you know, really know, you’re done having kids, do yourself a favor and get the procedure done.
Because it’s a safe, reliable, permanent method of birth control and it’s far less risky than the options available to women (which for men considering vasectomy means your current or future partner).
It’s also a great way to demonstrate to your partner that you’re committed to the relationship and aren’t leaving everything up to her.
Before anyone jumps in: yes, there are risks and can be side effects. The risks are lower than the equivalent procedures for women, and the side effects are much less unpleasant than what women face.
So much easier, safer, more reliable, and cheaper , with FAR less side effects and risks than any female birth control option, minus maybe tube removal.
As others have said, there are quite a few reasons why it’s a great choice for many people. There is also an overwhelming desire on here to blame men for any and every issue possible. It’s a mixture of common sense, convenience, men being considerate of their partners, and anti male beliefs that coalesce to create the pretty firm opinion that you see. It’s really easy to see why men prefer to undergo the procedure rather than trusting their partners or potential partners to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
Condoms prevent diseases, vasectomy doesen’t. That’s all you need to know.
Nobody says to woman to get tubal litigation as I understand is permanent.
The thing is, it is the same thing with vasectomy. After a while it becomes a permanent thing.
The icing on top is the chance to develop chronic pain in their testicles for life.
No thanks.
Keep using condoms, pick your partners better, be abstinent when you do not have a good partner and you will be great.
Because if you genuinely don’t want kids and never will, it’s the safest and easiest way to not have an unwanted pregnancy. Women no longer have to fuck around with the pill, you don’t have to worry about condoms, it has no effect on your ability to fuck and sterilisation much safer and easier for us than for women.
If you don’t want kids or don’t want more, it’s probably the best form of birth control. Reliable, minimally invasive, relatively low risk, little to no lasting side effects. Compared to women’s birth control that can cause all manner of problems and don’t always work for evry woman. It’s no brain choice of you and your partner agree on not having any/more children.
My partner couldn’t do hormonal birth control and had an IUD. Once we were together long enough to feel safe, we ditched the condoms. But the IUD was kinda uncomfortable for both of us. Apparently the OB had cut the string short rather than tucking it in or something. Since I knew I was done having kids, I decided to get over myself and take control of the situation. It was a minor procedure and I’m glad I did it. Peace of mind (and not having to dodge stabby bits) can make for better sex.
just adding a woman’s two cents – most women have been on some form of birth control since their late teens/early twenties. That wreaks absolute havoc on our bodies. then we’re just supposed to stop cold turkey if/when we want kids, then there’s menopause. so it’s a constant, never ending cycle of messing with the hormones in our bodies. Not to mention the absolute chaos that happens in our bodies when we get pregnant and have children. Post birth control syndrome is very real and can be permanently damaging.
If you’ve decided you don’t want kids, or you and your partner are done having kids, relieve her of the turmoil and pressure and torment of being the one responsible for making that wish a reality. Even using condoms consistently there can be some stress in the back of your mind that, as a woman, pops up if you’re late or are having different symptoms. Copper IUD? Get ready for the worst PMS you could never have even imagined. This has been something that she has carried in her mental load likely for her entire adult life. It is mentally exhausting to be constantly thinking about if you were safe enough, if some crazy fluke happened, if your period is late cause you’re stressed or ate something wrong or are pregnant. for decades. most months.
I’m learning more about the potential consequences and side effects of vasectomies. and I would encourage you and all men to learn about the potential consequences and side effects of birth control that millions of women face every day for decades of their lives. I’m not trying to undermine the real considerations of getting a vasectomy, and I hope this only comes off well intentioned and informative. Everyone should have the right to choose what happens to their body without shame or stigma.
Because when compared to tubal ligation, it is far less invasive much less expensive and much quicker to heal from.
Further in terms of birth control versus sterilization, in the event that you have decided you don’t want to have children or you don’t wanna have any more children when compared to a years worth of supply of birth control for a woman. It is less expensive for you to have a vasectomy, and is much more effective.
Continuing the argument, condoms break. Women forget to take their birth control. And sometimes not only do women lie, but they actively attempt to trap you into either a relationship or child support by ensuring that they carry your child. All of this is preventable with a $600 procedure that takes 30 minutes 15 of which are waiting for the anesthetic to take affect and has about a three day healing time.
I had my vasectomy over 20 years ago and it cost me 500 bucks. One of my friends kids just had one I think in January and it cost him 600. This is apparently a nearly inflation proof procedure.

It’s safe, it’s boring, it’s inexpensive, and it’s extremely effective.
Aside from being somewhat uncomfortable, there’s very little downside!
It’s reliable and less traumatic than many options for women. Assuming you don’t want more kids ever, it’s a good option. If you are a guy, it also puts control in your hands instead of relying on somebody else.
I love mine, and want people to know it’s an option.
So I live in Ontario which means my vasectomy was free, easy to get, and I was mostly recovered after a couple days.
Why not is the answer. It’s less invasive than what women have to go through for sterilization and it’s totally blissful to just nut without worries.
If you don’t want kids, it’s the easiest and most reliable method of birth control without side effects.
I had a vasectomy about 7 years ago. It was so easy, quick, and relatively painless.
I get to have fun with my wife and not worry about ruining our DINKWAD life.
Best decision I ever made
Because vasectomy is great. It’s highly effective, requires no prep work, easy recovery and best of all, orgasms are more pleasurable.
It makes the most sense if you’re done having kids. I see people suggest it to young men though and think that’s stupid.
Because it’s easy, reliable and something a man can control. You don’t need someone else to take a pill every day and hope it regulates her hormones properly, you just need to find out that a snip actually cut something.
It’s more reliable than what women have to do, way less invasive, and easier to reverse if we still want to have kids later.
Also, Reddit is also extremely anti-having kids or getting married. And very pro divorce and “cut them off” towards family members if there’s even a small amount of issues.

Stops unwanted pregnancy without making women go through the hormonal Hell that’s the pill.
Holy cow! My vasectomy was easily the best money I have ever spent. I never have to worry about the consequences of my actions beyond a trip to the clinic for an occasional check up.
Reddit in general is anti-natalist.

Reddit is pretty anti kids in general
I guess the more important question is: why is everywhere else not as pro-vasectomy? It’s a great option.
Answer: reddit is largely left leaning. The expectation that birth control is exclusively on the woman are largely right-leaning opinions.
Vasectomies are awesome. I’ve been shooting blanks since the mid-Nineties. Never have to worry about fathering a child I don’t want, or causing a woman worry about an unwanted pregnancy. Well worth the brief discomfort and inconvenience!

Most Reddit commenters should not procreate so I’m not offended by this statement at all /s
would like to see the responses from guys that want the possibility of kids in the future
I am heavily pro-vasectomy and pro-tubal ligation/hysterectomy because most Redditors shouldn’t reproduce.
So much easier, safer, more reliable, and cheaper , with FAR less side effects and risks than any female birth control option, minus maybe tube removal.
You know who wasn’t pro-vasectomy? My doctor. I’m late 30s, married, multiple kids.
Dude says to me "look, if you end up getting divorced and remarrying a younger woman you’ll regret this."
It’s a hell of a lot cheaper than kids. It’s nice to be able to enjoy sex fully without worrying about oopsies.

Cause condoms suck ass
Because it puts the onus on men and reddit love that shit
We all grew up with Uncle Joey telling us to Cut. It. Out.
vasectomy is a great way if you don’t want kids ever again. Its relatively cheap, safe, and give you the control so you don’t have to worry.
Reddit also has a hilariously inaccurate view of the reversibility of vasectomy.
I don’t know, but the downplaying of possible side effects always bothers me.
Because they want sterile men.
Condoms prevent diseases, vasectomy doesen’t. That’s all you need to know.
Nobody says to woman to get tubal litigation as I understand is permanent.

As all have said it is a far simpler procedure for us than the alternative for women. There has been a good success rate for reversing it if need be.

There are enough people in the world already 🤷♂️ more than enough
Compared to the things women do to and put in their body, it’s way more humane.
I think men can feel like some of their masculinity is stripped away with a vasectomy, so many don’t often even consider it as an option
Because vasectomy:
You’re only hearing from the people that have had it done. Men that don’t have them don’t have much to say on the subject.
just adding a woman’s two cents – most women have been on some form of birth control since their late teens/early twenties.

Cause condoms suck, and birth control affects many women poorly. Did I mention that condoms suck?
Quick, easy, cheap, and nobody can f–k me over because I’ve taken unplanned pregnancy (or any pregnancy at all) off the table. I’m in control.
I don’t want kids so there is truly no downside at all. It’s all upside and I was good as new in about a week.
Because it’s legit if you don’t want kids?
I’d happily get a vasectomy, but my personality operates very effectively as a contraceptive at the moment, so it’s unnecessary.
Because when compared to tubal ligation, it is far less invasive much less expensive and much quicker to heal from.
