Harumph. Gimme the old school.
I had a vasectomy last summer, and except for a few seconds of mild-moderate pain, it was no big deal. I don't see why any guy would want a gizmo implanted into his unmentionables.
Well...a friend of mine who was both philosophically opposed to both marriage and having children (and who, perhaps not coincidentally, could not get a date) got a vasectomy just in case, and then much to his surprise actually, 1) met a woman, 2) married said woman, and 3) was convinced by said woman to have a kid. So, he had the procedure undone. It's not that the reverse vasectomy was necessarily painful, but it cost a boatload of money more than the original procedure.
Punchline: they got divorced a few years later.
