Blows my mind that vasectomies are the less common procedure. Got mine done cheaply many years ago. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Partner got tubes done recently (so that insurance couldn't deny her for medically necessary hysterectomy later, what a dumb system we have) and she was miserably bedridden for quite a while, with the scars to prove it. Would have been expensive if she wasn't maxed for out-of-pocket already.

Anyone have a sane explanation?

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I get that reference, but also I'd like to support the statement. I've sat on my couch for 2-3 days, frozen peas in my lap and just took it slow. A week later I could barely tell that anything changed.

Toxic masculinity, all my friends that don't want to be convinced have the worst excuses possible but most times it's about not wanting to feel like a lesser man.

[-] gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com 14 points 2 years ago

That's so bizare, since I swapped out to unleaded we fuck constantly and not worry about contraception. nothing makes you feel like more of a man than fucking raw dog every chance you get.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Doesn't prevent some of them from doing it and just pulling out, they believe that nothing will happen because nothing has happened yet...

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

No offense but your friends sound stupid.

[-] ImADifferentBird 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lots of people are stupid.

In many ways, our society encourages such stupidity.

If I'm not mistaken I live in the place where vasectomy is the most common and some people still think like that. Talk to your the people around you and you'll see.

Getting your vas deferentia snipped is tight!

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

vas deferential

Maybe you're making a joke I don't get, but otherwise: It's called vas deferens

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Wow wow wow, there is a whole lot of Ryan George all over this thread, good to see. He does skits on YT, look up - Pitch Meeting

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Sorry, what is the connection to any of what we said?

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

It was the answer to the "Joke I don't get" that I replied to

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Autocorrect got me. Plural is vas deferentia.

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ah, I see. Plural is vasa deferentia though. You have to put the noun itself in plural too, not just the participle.

Women are treated as objects

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well me and my wife are thinking about having another child. Haven't decided yet. So not getting it done.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

That's completely irrelevant to the question they asked.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Go ask Lemmy for a refund

[-] Lennnny@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

On the flip side, I was up and working out three days after my bisalp. And my friend who got a vasectomy was bedridden for a week. I think they're pretty comparable, it's just a game of rock paper scissors whether you'll have the easy or the hard recovery.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They are usually not comparable. I walked home from my vasectomy and worked. I wasn't bedridden at all and that seems to be the norm.
