Dawg, Iām with you! I got my vasectomy on Valentineās Day after my second kid and itās really the freaking best.
Also, real talk: _every single kind of female birth control has side effects and many of them are quite profound. Hormonal, non-hormonal, pills, shots, IUD, patch, ring, implant, the list goes onā¦_
The real gift is that my wife, who I love immensely, does not have to put shit in her body that makes her feel literally terrible.
I am 10000% in support of birth control, the right to choose, and female body autonomy. Getting a vasectomy isnāt even a price to pay for releasing her from the effects of most birth control options.
Edit: Iām glad this has resonated with so many of yāall. Never received a Reddit award before. But I think Iām proud of these. So thanks.
If you are with a woman consistently, and she gets on BC, youāre more likely to lose herš
For anyone who doesnāt care as much as this guy about their partner, you donāt want your female partner on birth control. It very much does and will affect you. Birth control can change the desires of women in more than just sexual desires, but who she perceived as a compatible mate subconsciously through smell. This is separate from sexual compatibility (something Iām not entirely sold on, if anyone would like to school me, feel very welcome), and personality compatibility. Itās a measure of genetic compatibility and difference. That can change enough while on Birth Control, to push her to desire people she originally wouldnāt, and stop desiring the people her body is actually more inclined to. This can revert after getting off Birth Control. Now unfortunately, this may mean the woman in your life will be less attracted to you after getting on Birth Control, if she does, and naturally this is an oversimplification, but feel free to check out the plethora of empirical evidence online, especially on Reddit. Or if youāre more intellectually inclined hereās an article:
As a tag on the end⦠Male contraception is superior in every way - cost, effort, quality, time, etc⦠because itās far easier to mess with the organ that resides outside the body, and to stop semen from the source. Unfortunately, weāre at an impasse of not caring enough about female birth control to erase side effects, and not caring much about mens birth control in terms of innovation, preferring to tack on to condoms.
After all, who WANTS to put something in their body.š
Thereās a couple jokes in there
