Definitely a tough decision. Personal question.

[miokomioko]

freezing the "squigglies" seems to be the most sensible decision

What about your namesake?

[InDaButt]

I'm 28, female, and I've wanted a complete hysterectomy since I was 21, and no doctor will give me one.

Seriously, if you don't want kids, and don't want to have your own progeny, fucking do it. You can also freeze your little squigglys and have them on ice if you change your mind.

with that said, the childfree livejournal community is pretty fucking cool.

This is what I was considering doing, freezing the "squigglies". It seems to be the most sensible decision if I do decide to go with it, which 98% sure that I will.

Do you have any idea how much cryogenically freezing sperm costs? Like really, do you have any idea at all? Unless your daddy is rich, I doubt you can afford it

How I plan to do this financially is all set, it's just the choice of making it. To everyone who said I'm a total idiot, that's alright. I've had people tell me that to my face in the past few months, so it's nothing new, lol.

Pssht... cryogenics. Throw it in the tupperware, slide it to the back of the fridge and hope your relatives dont mistake it for tapioca pudding.

But seriously, no.

Why do you want a vasectomy?

[Tyche]

What I want to know is why in the hell would you say "I have a tough decision, I need your advice", only to say "well, everyone calls me an idiot and I'm 98% sure I'll do it anyway". You obviously could of gave 2 shits about what people thought in this forum, you were just trolling.

[Kaylia]

Never understood why some guys are scared of kids and long term relationship.

[InDaButt]

Not trying to start anything, but if you would take a look at the original question, I didn't ask it directly about me.

I asked about anyone's thoughts on a male individual at 19 years of age who might be considering getting a vasectomy, and what anyone might think about that kind of decision from a third person view.

I didn't ask: Well shit, I don't want any fucking babies so I'm gonna get my cords snipped because some doctor says they would, should I do it or am I being retarded?

Don't attack me, lol. Just looking for opinions.

Some say it's a male's inherent programming to simply spread their seed, not to stick around and nuture one offspring. I think that would be a huge gender-confusion argument thread in itself.

You're too young to be making such heavy and complex decisions. It is very likely that your opinion may change in the future, you will assuredly not think the way you do now as the way you will think and feel 10 years from now.

It's too risky a decision to make with so many years still left in you.

Then maybe, ya know, the topic shouldn't be personal question if it isn't, ya know, directly about you...

It's mostly misleading, mostly...amirite kuya?

[InDaButt]

Lol, sorry for being a dick. It's late and it's like 95 degrees here. My apologies.

But thanks for the insightful replies, definitely have some more thinking to do.

[Kuya]

It's mostly incomprehensible, mostly.

I believe Charles Darwin would agree with me when I say "go for it!"

This is the correct answer.

Not every species works that way, and you can see this "family" behavior for many primates. I wouldn't say that human are meant to live like a bunnies so easily.

Imo, it's lazyness mixed to the fear of being stuck with a partner you don't like (or someone who could leave with half of your money). Maybe it's because I come from a large family, but I can't imagine myself single or with random partner in 40 years.

[Krye]

Kids are fucking stupid, I don't see how anyone could ever want one.

"HI GUYS I'D LOVE TO WASTE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS LITTLE SCREAMING, POOPING LITTLE BITCH THAT IS A LITTLE FUCKTARD AS A CHILD AND WHEN IT GROWS UP IT'S GOING TO BE A DISRESPECTFUL LITTLE BASTARD AND BE COMPLETELY UNGRATEFUL AND NEVER APPRECIATE ME"

Seriously, a child is going to ruin your life and take away all of your freedom, just like a woman will. Relationships are stupid and fucking pointless too, I don't see how women can't see that the only reason guys want them is for a place to stick their dick. You're a stupid fucking jackass if you're going to "fall in love" with some bitch and cast all your friends aside and be miserable all the time, but "omg we love each other so much even though she's a controlling bitch and I hate my life now and want to kill myself because of her" but whatever, that's an argument for another time.

Get the fucking vasectomy, seriously, don't ruin your life.

Just an excuse for most guys. Shit pisses me off because I hear it from girls all the time. "No bitch, just because your last guy wanted to 'hit it and quit it' doesnt mean all guys dont want relationships"

Holy shit, peter north would be proud of that release krye. How long has that been pent up?

Ever since my best friend completely disassociated himself with me every single time he got a girlfriend in middle school through high school until our friendship finally terminated. Ever since he would complain to me about how much he hated his girlfriend and then tell me how awesome I was and his girlfriend would get jealous and literally say, "WHY CAN'T I EVER MAKE YOU AS HAPPY AS HE MAKES YOU?!" and freak out so much that we can't even hang out anymore. Ever since women have only used men for money and men have only used women for sex. Ever since I've seen this bullshit around me for my entire life and not understood how people could be so fucking stupid.

Kaylia, I may change my mind in five years, but I've never wanted children. I teach younger kids (elementary school age) and though I've taught my share of brats and ones with questionable personal hygiene, the majority of them are funny, energetic, enjoyable to teach. Despite that, I never particularly wanted my own. My choice currently is to channel my energies into creative and career endeavors, not a family. So I bristle a bit when someone says guys are scared of kids and long term commitment. I've made a long term committment, just not to a family. And I know that some will say children are worth it to convince me otherwise, but I would agree. It's simply not what I'd like to do with my life and I would hope people would respect that. I would also hope that those couples out there desperately trying to have children and spending thousands of dollars to do it can come to terms with the fact that there are other things they can be channeling their energy into.

I can only theorize then instead that you mean guys whose opinions more closely resemble Kyre's.

People do not have to have children, and you should not feel pressured one way or another about having them. It's a choice, like any other, and it needs to be made by you and your significant other. No one else. Not your parents, not your friends, not people on the internet, you.

So OP, to your friend or you or whoever precisely it is considering the vasectomy, wait a year and see if you'd still like to do it. Until then, just be a stickler about contraception.
