If you hate needles/surgery, they actually have a no-needle, no scalpel vasectomy surgery (you can google it). 20 minutes in the doctors office and then you go home. It’s really not that bad at all. But you got to shop around and do your homework. When it comes to your balls, don’t go for the discount doctor.

Aw, me and my bumpy vagina thank you (from a safe distance of course).

It depends on your insurance, the cost of vasectomies and freezing of sperm, at least here in the US. My guy did not have insurance at the time and paid out of pocket. $3 grand total.

One response: HERPES.

Yeah, I mean it is not a perfect option nor an option for every single guy -my man had to save up for his procedure, it wasn’t the cheapest thing in the world - but probably about as expensive as an abortion here in the US, so 6 of one half dozen of another. And I guess a lot of people aren’t informed that it is a…

But...vasectomies are reversible. If you don;t want it reversed, you can freeze the sperm before you have one done if you want to have a baby in the future.

Thank you so much for this. It is an excellent piece, and I am grateful to have read it.

Bella also changed her nose quite a bit (yes, that is Bella Hadid in both these pictures). It makes me sad, because her ‘before’ nose looks exactly like mine—and apparently is not considered ‘pretty’ enough for public taste.

Yay! So glad you are back! Definitely my favorite series. I’ve never heard anyone describe half a Bay Leaf as a ‘flavor grenade.’ Priceless.

I’m glad I could help!! Big changes are tough and scary, and lord knows I cried quite a bit too. I remember moving from NY to California—that was scary as all get-out. I knew no-one, had never even visited before. It’s hard to step into something that is totally unknown and make a big career change at the same time!…

If someone couldn’t get it up for me after a year, it would affect my confidence and my feelings pretty negatively as well. I really feel for you, it’s a tough spot to be in. If it has been over a year, it is pretty safe to say its not going to get better.

I have chronic dry eye. Medications are worthless, though over-the counter Systane Balance ‘Restorative Formula’ eye-drops are a lifesaver and the only brand I use religiously.

GO to an air-force recruitment center. Ask lots of questions. The fact that you are a woman is an advantage—they have quotas they need to fill.

First off, This sucks so hard, and I am astonished at how well you are handling the situation. Secondly, our society/social welfare system is just NOT set up to help parents in your situation. It just isn’t, and it is a disgrace. Thirdly, too, too many healthcare and social work professionals just do not realize that…

I‘d call customer service and demand a refund of the difference. Seriously. It can’t hurt. I did that recently with an online store that had a post-Christmas sale and they actually gave me it, just because I had bothered to call and ask for the refund of the difference.

Oh dear. This guy may not be the right guy for you, especially if he is unwilling to seek professional help. That is a red flag more than the lack of erection, because it indicates his inability to deal with issues that have a negative effect on your relationship. If he can’t handle this, then what’s he going to do…

Whether or not what you have is a post-war replica you would have to go to an auction house and have it appraised. Many fakes circulated in Berlin in the 60s; I would generally suspect a fake more than a genuine article unless your family were residing in Germany pre-WWII. So, I would try to find out if it is a…

Not the OP, but buying this stuff based on your recommendation.

As a fellow PhD student who drained 7 years of her life and amassed HUGE student loans into a degree that I never received (I ended up dropping out due to mental health issues), I can tell you, while it may feel like the end of the world now, there IS life after a non-PhD.

In my experience—I am 5'8" and 115 all through my 20s and got a lot of compliments), it depends on both where you live (cities like Paris, LA, NYC thin is IN baby) and also on your age. I live in San Fran and visit LA often.
