Vasectomies for all

[LadySparrow]

Sorry if this isn’t the right chat, I’m in the Bluestocking and various others if checks needed.

Just back from a night out with several pissed off women -as we should be- so possibly not at my most coherent.

A question was raised - if vasectomies are 90% reversible, why are young men not required to have vasectomies in order to have sex. As opposed to the majority view that women should be on hormonal contraceptives.

The majority of contraception “fails” seems to be from the male POV and perspective that if women are on the pill/implant/injection and it fails then they are solely liable.

In which case why are men not given a vasectomy option at a young age with the possibility of a reversal if they change their minds.

Thoughts? There were many in my group tonight, curious to see what people think.

You meet a bloke, go on a few dates, he seems nice, you decide that next time you see him you're ready to sleep with him. You check the database and it says he's had a vasectomy.

Would that be enough to reassure you that unprotected sex would be a sensible choice, or would you still insist on a condom due to the risk of STIs?

Just stop and think about the Data Protection on that?

Women would go mad if men could access their fertility status.

Just think it could be used the other way, woman wants a family, forget any man on the database why risk having to go through IVF if you don't need to.
