In over 30 years of practice, Dr. Errol Billinkoff rarely saw a man without kids come into his Winnipeg clinic to get a vasectomy. But since the pandemic began, he says it's become an almost daily occurrence.

And he's not alone.

"At first, I thought I was the only one who was noticing this," Billinkoff, who brought a no-scalpel vasectomy procedure to Winnipeg in the early 1990s, told CBC News in a November interview.

"But I am part of an international chat group where doctors who do vasectomies participate and the topic came up, and it's like everybody notices it."

Oh man, I would have imagined being gay accidentally making kids is one less thing to worry about? But if you occasionally dip in clam sauce, get one. You get someone else to jiggle your junk while doing casual conversation ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh definitely less to worry about, but damn, the way these kids act, makes me want to get the snip in solidarity.

NGL I was so anxious leading up to the procedure I was basically inverted down there. My little dude straight up turtled himself into my pelvis. I mean, I'm a grower and all, but this was Scandinavian polar plunge levels of nope. I would have been embarrassed if I wasn't so impressed with the amount of retreating that was happening
