Men without children often face difficulties getting a vasectomy. Our readers share their stories and experiences with the procedure while being childfree.
I was 35 years old when I got the surgery. I’m single and have not been married. I’m clear about how I want to live my life and I conveyed that to the doctor with enough certainty that he didn’t try to second guess me. My doctor is a Urologist in private practice – Robert … Continue reading
This is my sad tale of woe. However, the most sympathy I’ve ever received is, “Sucks to be you!” For many years growing up, I never gave much thought to the idea of parenthood. Even when discussing it with friends at an early age (e.g. 12, 13, 14) most of them said they wanted two … Continue reading

Donut-shaped pillowErgonomic Innovations Orthopaedic SeatIt’s been about 2 weeks since I went in for my NSV (no-scalpel vasectomy) and I thought I’d relate my story for anyone out there considering a vasectomy.

Well, having heard so many horror stories about the procedure on the forum, I would like to report an absolutely painless case, if there’s any such thing.

Hi all. Like many of the other contributors to this page, I thought I’d share my experience so that any of you who are considering vasectomy might breathe a bit easier. My wife and I have been together for 10 years now (we’re both 30), and throughout that time we have discussed in detail the … Continue reading
The Road to My Vasectomy – Leading Up to The Decision My wife and I had been married for 6 years without children when we decided that it was time to do something about our hassles with contraception (we were 29 years of age at the time). We had tried just about every possible contraceptive … Continue reading
My wife and I met when we were sophomores in college. We married a year later at age 21. Early in our relationship, we both made our feelings clear about our desire not to have children. Even when I was a teenager I never imagined myself with children. These feelings went beyond the typical teenager’s … Continue reading
I am 27 years old, married, no children. My wife and I decided long before we were married that we did not want to have children. I was initially a little nervous to have the procedure done, but after researching the Internet it helped to calm my nerves (a little). The first visit went smoothly. … Continue reading

And I did a lot of web-searching and reading on my own before deciding that what I was hearing from my doctor … Continue reading
