I love you. Thank you, on behalf of all the women, for getting a vasectomy and not being a little asshat about it. You are just, just... Go give your wife some baby free boning.

Well, I honestly can't say why my sister would want them, if she doesn't especially like kids. I know two girls I grew up with, their mom openly dislikes children. She says they're fine and they exist, but she doesn't really care for them. Yet she had two.

I so appreciate your maturity, education, and your commitment to keeping your family as is. I wish you all the years of happiness, health, and child free sex you can get! And that your children grow up to realize what a fantastic man their father is, JUST for willingly getting a vasectomy.

I really don't understand dudes desires to run away screaming from vasectomies. I have a coworker who I have been close to in the past, and we discussed his complete lack of enthusiasm for children, the pressure he felt to give his wife their first baby, her subsequent second (unwanted, from his POV) pregnancy and…

It's true. Unfortunately I also think that the culture of sue anything that looks at you wrong has impacted this. I would not want to be a doctor, agree to sterilize someone, and then have them come to me two years later and say they didn't know what they were getting into and now they want children but are unable to…

Yes, it is. It really, really is. From the anecdotes others are telling on this thread though, I'm gathering that it is an Arizona thing. My coworker (who reads this site and found my post) immediately messaged me to go see a Planned Parenthood. So probably if I decide to get one and my doctor says no, I will.

Yup, which is why I don't actually rage at the docs. I'm 27, been sure about kids since I was in high school. Became even more sure as the years went on. Nannied, babysat, lived with children I adore and would absolutely take custody of should anything happen to the parents. Absolutely do not want babies. I adore…

I am so impressed by the fact that your boyfriend got a vasectomy. I just, give him a big, fat hug tonight, from me. And then play with his penis, from you. Because that is so rare that I have had to put vasectomies on my list of "Things not to bring up with males in my life" unless I am in the mood to REALLY get into…

That is awesome, and exciting! I am not terribly pressured right now since no sex life. And as soon as I get a sex life I have a doctor who will give me an IUD (because yah, I've heard of docs refusing to put an IUD in a woman who hasn't had kids). But I'm thinking once I hit 30 or so, or if I'm in a permanent…

Love this. People don't get it. Some of my friends who have known me so well have seen me with kids and been like, "Oh you're for sure having kids." To which I envision their head exploding and respond with, "Who the fuck are you?" And then I have had other friends who have seen me with kids, smiled, played or…

Well, I understand, I really do. Shit happens, life changes, and people rethink their previous stances on things. AND with women it is so much more permanent with men. I men, men get their tubes tied, they're in, they're out, and if some day they decide they do want kids then they just go get them untied. But women…

Yah. I totally understand the hesitancy, seriously, I do. I have seen far too many women say they don't want kids only to decide later on that they really truly do. However, I am what I like to call a realist. I am realistic about how great I am when not in charge of anyone. When I get my sleep whenever I want it/need…

Yah, I wonder if it is an AZ thing because most of the women I talk to are here in AZ (obvs) and they have all said basically the same thing. In fact, I have heard from alot of friends that their doctor won't put in an IUD because they haven't had kids yet. Excuse me, but I don't WANT a baby. So shove it in. I spoke…

Well, my best friend was pregnant with her third child (2nd "mistake") and wanted to get fixed with the birth. Doctor refused because she was under 30 and only had 3 kids :-| Que one year later and she's preggers with her fourth (I mean good God woman, you are my best friend, how have my birth control lectures not…

Heh, baby catcher. Meh, I'm not super concerned about it right now, because I'm not sexually active. But for realsies: I worry about having a moment of complete insanity and being like, "BABIES! BABIES EVERYWHERE! PUT ONE IN ME!" And having a misstep and then BOOM! Baby! Or abortion. I want neither of those things. I…

Yup! I will be getting the... Luna? I dont remember the name, it's the smaller version of the Mirena. And then someday lookin' for the lasering off of my bits.

Well good luck with that. All of the women I have spoken to (and I live in AZ) have said that their doctor's refuse to do anything permanent until after the 4th kid. One girl convinced her doctor to after her third, but it took some fast talking.

I am a 27 year old unattached female who has not wanted kids since she was a kid. If I could get 'fixed' I would. Unfortunately, (and while a large part of me understands it, another large part of me wants to flip my finger off at anyone who thinks they get to tell me 'no' in regards to my own body) doctors will never…

It's true. And really, protocol is protocol. In the retail stores I worked in growing up the restrooms were in the back. AKA with all of the un-tagged merchandise. There was no way in hell that customers were allowed to use them. We would get fired. As in, no more job for us. The thing, for me, about this story is…

Let's be real, I have gone to the bathroom while the plane was on the tarmac PLENTY of times. I have seen other grown ass adults go when the flight attendants told us we needed to stay seated. Yes, FAA regulations are law, yes we need to adhere to them, but I honestly feel that were this an adult, they would have…
