@jeffowski When I got a vasectomy, I was astonished at how little push-back I got, and that my crappy medical insurance fully covered it.
I was single and 35 -- I'd heard that age was a threshold for doctors dropping any objections.
It's unfair, and obviously patriarchal, that women get so much more push-back.
The flipside of it is that since men can get vasectomies easily, they really should think about doing it.
@KarlHeinzHasliP @jeffowski That's not a given. I gather that reversals are more often successful than I was led to believe when I got one, but it's still a much more difficult procedure than a vasectomy, and from what I'm reading, the chance of recovering fertility drops over time, especially after ten years.
So no, I don't think vasectomies at fourteen are a good idea.
@foolishowl
Everything you said matches my experience too. I was around the same age as well. Came with a list of reasons in case I got pushback but never needed it.
Best decision ever. Would highly recommend to anyone considering it.
