Does a vasectomy make you less of a man?

It's called a tubal ligation, and it's as easy and safe as a vascectomy. The biggest difference is that, while a tubal makes one woman "safe" from many men, a vasectomy makes one man "safe" from many women.

I don't think it is, no. It might be, relatively, but it is invasive surgery which I believe needs general anesthetic. Wikipedia also says women who have it done are more likely to need a hysterectomy later in life, though it's not known why.

Umm....pretty sure a vasectomy won't get down without some anesthetic, either, but it may be local. I haven't had one, as a clinic told me decades ago that I wouldn't need one. I'm unaware of any "non-invasive" surgery, as they all seem to require cutting and stitching, which seems pretty invasive to me. I'd agree that a tubal is far more invasive.
Wikipedia is a source that needs to be double-checked, based on their own statements. I usually go to their listed source and then check for others to collaborate.

I'm unaware of any women who've had trouble with their tubal, other than one of my own aunts, which is how I got one more cousin, and she very nearly got a divorce. It wasn't very funny at the time.

Fair enough. But yes there is a massive difference to me between a local or general anesthetic.. It's not like.. Oh, they're all anesthetic.. : )

I spoke to a doctor about it once and she flat out told me I was too young anyway, that no one would do it for me.

There's a TED talk by a young woman in the states who eventually got it done but after MUCH fighting for it.

But yes, I concede that there IS a way for women to do it. I would never choose to go under general anesthetic though, just a personal fear of mine.

I had one as soon as I could find a doctor who would agree. A few said I was too young and they did not feel it was ethically right until I either had a few kids or was in my late 30's or early 40's. I did not agree and kept poking around. I knew I did not want kids and I also knew that I did not want to risk passing my genetics on. I found one who would do if I promised to freeze some sperm since I "might change my mind".

In TV and movies this is always a big argument. The wife is done with kids and does not want to take any risk. The husband feels like he is not a man even though he too does not want kids. It's odd to me. Like you still get a boner and fluid still comes out. You are having sex what is the issue?

In the late sixties/early seventies I tried to talk an Air Force flight surgeon into doing me. He refused for a number of his reasons, one being the old 'change of mind' thing. Well, with luck or preventative measures, I managed to not have unwanted children. OK, I'm 71 now and realize that I could still change my mind, right?

The only trouble I see is finding a 71 year old women who wants to get pregnant?

Less of a man? The only thing lost during a vasectomy is a bit of blood. Everything else is still inside

If you've ever donated blood, that didn't make you less of a man, except by the weight of the blood, and the body replaces that fairly quickly. Losing a few drops of blood during vasectomy - essentially the same amount of man. Getting a haircut removes more of you than a vasectomy does.

Had mine done 11 years ago and I wish I'd had it done earlier. The wife was against it till all the kids were at least in their late teens, but eventually she let me do it. A win win situation all round.

In my first marriage I had a vasectomy after our second child was born. I was 23 at the time and I’m 69 now. The only thing I noticed after was that my ejaculation was a little less in quantity. Still had great orgasms and my wife at the time noticed no difference in my sex drive. My present wife had a tubal before we got together as she had 2 children and didn’t want more. We joke that when we have sex, I’m shooting blanks at a non-existent target.

After snip, nothing really changed except no little swimmers in the juice.

That procedure is a great idea for young men. It will prevent a common Narcissistic Female tactic ...the good Ole BABY TRAP !!!!
If they find a proper Woman to settle with, they can have the procedure reversed .
This would take away a common manipulative Female tactic, to trap a young man and stunt the Narcisistic Woman's Portfolio .
