Good! You shouldn't. If you're trying to not have children, you should be on birth control, or partner should be in birth control, and you should use condoms.

I've been there done that, lol. I'm old and already did the contraception and condoms long ago. Have 2 children now, do not want more. It sounds like a nice alternative to snipping, but I just can't trust it. We are fine, and im sure menopause is not far away for her.

Don’t fear the snip. Mine was almost entirely painless and it’s really nice to have one less thing to worry about.

Only side effect is now my right testicle dangles lower than my left.

Agreed. I was hoping for vasalgel work out, got tired of waiting, and got the snip.

There's lots of anecdotal evidence that orgasms are actually better afterwards. I tend to agree, but it's something that's ~~easy~~ hard to study properly. Edit: god, that was bad wording.

I think the orgasms are better because you don’t have the worry of pregnancy

I dunno, I get better orgasms when jerking off, too. But again, hard to say for sure.
