So, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get a vasectomy

I'm calling the doctor right now. Wow. If I go through with this I'll never have kids. But, I really really don't want any so I don't think that's a problem.
This is weird. They're going to chop my balls off.

It can be reversed if you do choose to have little hellraisers

Do you think I should consult people in my life about this? Should I talk to my mom or a friend or something?

I would think about it.
In my experience (at the age of 28), my view on kids has changed dramatically in a 5 year period, and with certain life situations. It's a huge decision, you will essentially be violating your biological drive to reproduce. That urge may easily take over once you are in your mid-late 30's and 40's.
Yes they can be reversed, but the success rate probably isn't that great.
While you may think of it as a simple: "meh, I don't want kids...no biggie" you are making a life-altering deicision.

It's not just about condoms. I have seriously been pondering this for a while. I really don't want kids nor do I envision that I ever will.
I think I need to talk to some people in my life before I take the plunge. I should definately talk to my mom. Is she going to be bothered by this though? What if she starts crying or some shit?

The whole point is he doesn't want to use a condom, and doesn't want to have to if he's not planning to have kids. And yeah, give it a talk over with some people, you're going to need their support anyways, an operation on your balls has to be horrifyingly scary.

Defintely talk about it. Make it real. Someone said you can always go back and change it...but that's really not entirely true.
If you go through with this, you have to consider it PERMANENT. I think there is a small chance they can reverse it, but it's very painful and doesn't always work.
It's a really big decision. Especially for someone who has no kids.

Actually, I believe it's an out-patient procedure. They only make a small incision and a quick snip.
While I may be completely stereotyping, the older I get, the more interested women are in starting families. It would somewhat of a challenge to find a women who is okay with never having kids.
