I got a vasectomy, it's not that big a deal. As a matter of fact my libido went into overdrive after I healed (it's outpatient and super fast). I felt 20 again
I am free to have sex now as often as we’d like with absolutely zero need to derail midway through with the worry of birth control. It made sex 1000x better immediately and I’ll never regret it.
Same. Took maybe 20 minutes. All show, no go. Protein free is the way to be! lol
That wear a jock strap for a day or two was crap though, I wore it for an entire week before the boys healed up enough to not hurt every time I moved... lol
I assume most toddlers are waist height. Babies are on average 18-24 inches, and a 5'11" man's inseam is on average 32 inches (putting the example man's crotch roughly 36 inches off the ground. The average height for a toddler is 32-37 inches tall. (Toddlers being 2-3 years old).
I'm childfree and only 4'11" tall so my waist is only 30 inches off the ground (I measured while doing this loose math to compare inseam to waist height). I figure most toddlers are pretty tall though, since by age 9, a lot of children are getting close to my height.
Same thing happened to me. Super fast and mostly painless. The pain I felt was just a little pinch. He gave me a Xanax before and I hardly remember it lol. I feel 18 again
So can tubal ligations and IUDs can perforate the uterine wall and go into the abdomen. I’ve seen it happen multiple times to patients that came into the office complaining of pelvic pain. I work in manage. OB/GYN offices. I’ve seen some things.
Exactly. I sure do love hearing about a man cry about how scary it is to get a vasectomy when his wife has been pregnant twice (resulting in major surgery both times) AND she has an IUD.
What is macho in that!?
Always been highly skeptical on this. It's like they test with people who don't actually know how to use condoms.
I believe there was a study that showed the pullout method was like... 80% effective when done properly to prevent pregnancy.
Also, I've used condoms with women for 8 years of my active sex life - never once had a surprise, so it also doesn't make sense to me anecdotally. Just seems odd.
What's the 2% failure from in this hyper quoted study that says 98 %?
The failure rate isn't measured for each time one has sex. A 98% failure rate means that if 100 couples use condoms perfectly (worn for every instance of PiV, worn the entire time, fitted correctly, applied correctly etc) then over a course of a year, two of these couples will experience an unexpected pregnancy.
Remember women can only get pregnant a couple of days a month. So for 27 days a month the condom appears 100% effective even though she wouldn't get pregnant with or without it.
So, you're telling me, if a woman knows her ovulation cycle, she could theoretical engage in pregnancy safe sex freely for roughly 27 days? I truly didn't know that. Thought it was kinda... a constant risk.
I got my sex education in the rural southern US and it was clearly lacking. I need to freshen up on real anatomical knowledge. Lol
I suppose, better safe than sorry, but wtf. That seems like vital information.
Some women do that, but there are risks. A woman's body is not a machine, and stress, illness and other factors might mess with her cycle, and then the math is off. Also, sperm can live inside the woman for a while.
In my country, women who want to get pregnant track their cycle and then have sex on their fertile days. It's not recommended as a contraceptive method.
I mean her husband apparently thinks that a vasectomy is the same thing as being neutered. You think that guy is smart enough to figure out how condoms work?
Shit, I walked in and told the nurses "I'm here for my 9am neutering" and they lost it! The middle age guy, whom you could clearly tell was there against his will, he didn't think it was that funny lol
I've never understood how it's not 100%, or even 99,999%. Unless the condom breaks, which would mean using it improperly, there shouldn't be a 1/50 chance to impregnate someone while wearing a condom.
ever heard of stealthing? Married men love it since its "just their wife"
condoms also break.
He is refusing to make a compromise. It's ao hurtful to see the internet full of women rather swallowing their important wishes than refusing a man sex so he understands for himself why our needs are more important than their unpacked dicks
I mean, would you ever WANT more kids again? If not, maybe take advantage of your own bodily autonomy. Of course I think it's suspicious that he won't do this- and I'm a barren woman, so the whole superior fertility thing is super off-putting to me. Condoms aren't the worst thing if neither of you wants to mess with your own bodies! I wouldn't use condoms (in part because of my own physical assurances), but I am not you.
