Chris was talked into having a vasectomy by his boss, and it failed. 6 years later and he's still using condoms. "I was FURIOUS with myself for listening to anyone that told me that a vasectomy was no big deal. Clearly they never had MY vasectomy. So here I am, 6 years later, no spontaneous sexual encounters. Condoms rule my life when it comes to that. And I have to hear an endless array of ridiculous statements that aren't meant to be that way - but they are, just before coitus, by my wife like "well... suit up!" or "Roll one on", or "slip on the rain coat." Do yourselves a favor. Let HER get the tubal. It'll work out way better for ya."

"You can tell someone to bump that 0% on early recanalization of a vasectomy that included cautery just a tiny bit. The lesson in this story is for everyone to do the right thing and get tested twice with two negative results before stopping the use of contraceptives."
