Whatever. Go into a thread about Judaism and tell “jokes” cut-and-pasted from some Hitler speeches. Go into a thread about African-American heritage and recite Jim Crow laws for a larf. Oh no, I forgot, we’re not allowed to joke about those people. Lucky you can still “joke” about men, as long as you don’t specify race or religion, isn’t it?
Seriously, dude. Take a fuckin’ pill.
Priceguy, you have definitely got a flair for the dramatic. Oh you poor put-upon man, I feel so sorry for you!!!
I was hurt. You don’t care about that. Point taken.
FWIW, as a guy I found what you said to be hysterical and true of a lot of guys I know.
To answer the OP, no snip because I’m gay and don’t like unneeded surgery. 
And then, of course, there is the other side.
I have 2 wonderful children from my first marriage, and my wife no and I have another who is just over 1.5. AT the end of the pregnancy, we made the decision together and I went and got snipped, and a week later Reilly was born. Love that little guy.
Last week my wife very quietly confessed that she wishes we hadn’t done it, as the thought of no more kids makes her very very sad.
That may have been one of my all time most awkward conversations.

ahem. . .
It just my opinion, but I think men are typically not informed about their bodies the same way women are. From adolescents on, most (Western Industrial) women have yearly exams and are educated about their bodies. Being poked and prodded in the genitals becomes a routine thing. Men don’t seem to get any sort of invasive exam until they are older and are not as accumstomed to genital medical procedures.
My husband and I had an argument last night. He has been having urinary problems that may indicate an enlarged prostate. He doesn’t want to go to the doctor because he doesn’t want to “get scoped.” I didn’t see what the big deal was, “You’re worried, see the doctor.” My attitude was more casual than he liked, and I started to think about the subject.

That very well may be part of it. The Probing occurs so often with women that we tend to think of it as just part of life. Things going in…people coming out…equipment…high intensity lighting…It’s like a goddamn highway improvement project!
Maybe you should just get one anyway…you know, in support of your fellow man! Blaze the trail, my friend!
I already gave at the office, thanks anyway. 
The where do you think Lawyers come from? :dubious:
Pointless story:
I went my mother’s alma mater for college. One day, we were talking and I told her about the annual Probing at the student clinic.
Me: Yes, I saw Dr. L for the first time. It was a little strange. He looks like a white-haired old man from a Normal Rockwell painting.
Mom: Oh you saw Dr. L! He’s the doctor that saw me when I was pregnant with you. You should tell him that the next time you see him.
Me: :eek: What do you want me to tell him? “Hey, anything look familar?”
A friend had a good response to this tale, “Not exactly the kind of bonding experience you want to have with your mother, is it?”
You wanna talk bonding? My dad and I are going for our colonoscopies together next month!
My usual response to such a statement is “Have fun.” It doesn’t seem appropriate. . .
I hope you both have a decent time. Why don’t you take a print out of the Embarrassing Sexual Injuries thread to share with your father in the waiting room?
Well, we’ll have to bring some sort of reading material to distract us from the impending horror. Hey…at least he’s having it done now. He’s been putting it off for three years.
Because every other man in the world could somehow disappear or become impotent, and I might be the only man left to propagate the species. Duh!
Also, doesn’t the color and consistency of semen change after a vasectomy? That’s not my reason, but some men might have some issues with that.
My wife can’t have kids, and since I have no plans on cheating on my wife there is no need.
I agree that no one should have surgery if they don’t want to. But if a couple really doesn’t want to have any more children, the best way to accomplish that is for one or the other to be sterilized. Anything else is a calculated crap shoot. And if that’s the case, it’s safer, easier, and cheaper for men to get the surgery.
Just a thought from a person who has heard some fairly wild stories after somebody’s demise. If you are a 100% faithful wife and your husband gets snipped, all your worries about unwanted conception are gone.
But what if you’re not 100% faithful?
Not speaking from personal experience - we’re doing the Forsaking all others, till death do us part bit - but many women do fall for another hunk and step out.
Would be a reason to want one’s main guy not to get snipped. If such a lady had to tell her man that an abortion were needed, it wouldn’t necessarily be the end of the marriage…
Women don’t have to tell their husband they need an abortion. They can just get one. Also, I’d think that if the married couple doesn’t want more kids and the wife wants to flooze around, she’d go ahead and get the tubal ligation herself.
