But when a man tries to tell a woman what to do with her body, everyone gets all pissed off.

There was once a time when men were men, women were women, America was great and the universe was in balance.

Today, men are becoming feminized, and women are taking the leading role.

Translation: I have no idea what to say at this point, so I'll retreat to broad statements about America's Glorious Past.

Too bad your dad did not get snip-snip before your mom got knocked up, the world have been a better place.

So yea, I do know what to say at this point.

If someone wants to get sterilized, I do not care. But personally, I think the woman should get fixed before the man does.

Name one person in this thread who has said they got snipped because their wife told them to or otherwise made them. Everybody in here (who has been snipped and has a spouse) has said, "My wife and I don't want any more kids" or "I didn't want any more kids, and neither did my wife." I'd be willing to say that every single man in this thread who has had this done has done so because it's what they wanted to take control over their body and their lives (sexually).

But don't worry, Texas still loves you even if you are inept (perhaps love you even more for it). ;)

Oh yea, like I "really" see someone admitting that their wife told them to get snipped. They would never be able to live that down.

We all know what happens in 99.9% of the cases. The woman says something like "I had the kids, you can get fixed".

Instead of standing up and saying "hell no", the sissy of the house tucks is tail between his legs and runs down to the doctor.

I'm 34 years old. I've got $1600 a month in day care bills. I'm putting in $250 a month for my 4 year old and my 4 month old to start saving for college. Kids are expensive and I have no desire to have an oopsie baby when I'm 45 fucking up my retirement.

But I guess that's just me being submissive.

OP: Pro tip: Whatever it takes, avoid getting an erection for the next six weeks. Smack it with the Bible if you have to but just don't.

I wanted to get snipped since before I was sexually active. When I first mentioned I was getting one done to my wife, she was against it, but she eventually came around. However, even if she didn't, I would have had it done anyway. I will never compromise on having children. People who think it's a knock against their manhood are the ones with issues. Although men who get one just because their wife told them too also have issues.

Please do update the figures as I'm curious. It's all about the $$$ :cool:

Is this a new cutting edge procedure or is it readily available throughout the country?

My co-pay was $30, and that covered the consult, scheduled procedure, post-op checkup a couple weeks after and semenalysis.

Looking up the claims... I have this:

Surgery - Submitted = $576, Insurance Paid = $377
Office Visit - Submitted = $102, Insurance Paid = $43, Copay = $30
Lab Pathology - Submitted = $136, Insurance Paid = $23.80

OP: Pro tip: Whatever it takes, avoid getting an erection for the next six weeks. Smack it with the Bible if you have to but just don't.

Honestly, it's not that bad. 6 weeks is a bit excessive. Maybe a WEEK, tops.

I have 5 kids. I wanted to make sure there weren't any more coming down the pipe.

My wife has medical issues making hormonal-based birth control a non-starter. We learned that the hard way, several medical bills later. I got sick of condoms, and I wanted to go au naturale.

My wife wanted me to have a procedure which was non-invasive and didn't have any foreign materials in me. The doctor I went to does the procedure with metal clips sealing off the excised vas deferens, rather than chemical cauterization. My wife wasn't pleased. I didn't give her a choice. (Besides, I like the notion that I have "balls of steel" now)

You see a pattern here? While we both agreed at a certain point that we were done, it was ultimately MY CHOICE to have this procedure.

Also a couple people asked about the actual cost. Here's my breakdown:

Consult: Billed: $166.00 Ins. paid: $101.18 My cost: $20
Physician surgical fee: Billed: $947.00 Ins. paid: $691.31 My cost: $0
OR fee: Billed: $3,560.00 Ins. paid: $2,598.80 My cost: $0

Mine was done in a full OR so more expensive than most probably. I already met my deductible ($1000) so it was mostly free to me.

I only had minor discomfort for the next week and it had was not affected by having an erection or sex.

Sweet jeebus!

I paid $650. Straight cash homey. (Well, okay, credit card) but no other 3rd party payers invovled. No insurance, no copays, no deductables. Just $650 for a 5 minute consultation, 10 minute prep, 40 minute procedure, help getting a jock strap on, an ice pack, and box of Caramel Delight girl scout cookies on the way out.

:p

Translation: I've been called out as a moron, so I'll retreat even further and resort to insults that a teenager would find trite.

Hence, my Unfrozen Caveman Internet Guy comments. You're about 100 years behind the times on almost everything.

Reading the OP makes my wanna throw up.

Who in their right mind wants to have his nuts cut, screw that.

Men with kids? I have three and the idea grew on me. I love shooting blanks, the last thing I would ever want it another kid.

I made the mistake of masturbating that night after I got it done. Was so painful... DO NOT DO THIS. It hurts. A lot.

Don't bother...it's obvious that guy has some serious issues. I picture him as a short, roided-out bodybuilder with a big truck.

Its an underhanded, demasculating girly insult. Which is common these days, but still its sad that two men are arguing and one of them resorts to backstabbing. His insult was different than yours because he insulted you directly whereas you just try to undermine him. You are like case in point #1

As in you are feminized, then yes he is 100 years behind the times, and 200 years behind the times, and 300 years behind the times, and 400 years behind the times, and 1000 years behind the times.... you get the idea.

I'm not really following you. Could you spray the above on the wall of a cave and illuminate with torchlight for me?

You could adopt, but then all your adopted kids will turn out gay, right? :hmm:
