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.

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.

That's the big thing right there. Deep down I think she would love to have a little Randal or Randal-ette running around.
My mom has another son who she gave up for adoption a long time ago. He is my half-brother. Him and my mom are in contact and he has a daughter. So, she kind of is a grandma. But, they live far away from my mom.

LOL. just wear a condom man. why sell yourself short now when you have no idea what kind of person/mindframe you will be of in 5 years.
if you are already second guessing it at this point, it's obvious you are having some reservations about it.

The cost isn't a factor in all of this. It's more emotional, health, and ball-centered. What if they fuck up? What if my testosterone levels go down? I know women who have more hair on their bodies than I do so I need every speck of the man-juice that I can get. And then there's the whole mom-kind-of-wants-to-be-a-Grandma thing.

Are those not enough for reasons not to do this? I don't see how you can be on the line with it. If you aren't sure, then don't do it.

IF you do this don't tell women when you meet them. In fact, don't do this at all even if you don't want kids. A viper without its poison is just another snake

Man, you're just all about elective surgeries, aren't ya?! This isn't like getting a nose job. 
You're still very young, you may want kids someday even though you may not want them now. And then you'd be sorry. I would recommend not going through with this...yet. Eventually sure, but at least grow up first!

Good for you, RF! There are much worse things to risk regretting, especially since you could adopt kids later if your attitude changes. I wish that more men would take responsibility for their reproductive capacity, and either get a vasectomy (if they do not want kids) or use a condom every single time (if they want kids later). 
BTW, I feel the same way about women who procreate irresponsibly. If they don't want kids, they should not be risking getting pregnant. It's tough enough raising kids when you want them! Kids who are unwanted are not given the love and respect they deserve.

You don't need to worry about your testosterone levels. They don't touch your testicles. They just clip the vas deferens. You won't even notice a big difference in the amount you ejaculate.
