I'm 25, single, and have no desire ever to have chidren. Should I get a vascetomy?

Answer 1

You are still young and experiences in life may change your opinions on issues (like becoming a parent).

Ultimately, the only person who can truly answer this question is you.

Answer 2

You are only 25 and have a few years to really know if you want to have children of your own. A vascetomy is a permanent solution to what in all probability is a temporary state of mind.

Answer 3

No. Unless it's done so that it can be reversed (I think I heard they can do that now) you don't want to make such a drastic decision. You might meet someone 10, 20, even 30 years from now and decide you want a family.

I have a cousin who felt like you do when he was 25; he met his current wife when he was 45 and his first child was born when he was 49. He was 51 when the second one was born.

You just never know what life is going to bring your way years down the road.

For now, stick to the less convenient forms of conception prevention.

Answer 4

I think you should wait you may meet the perfect woman for you and get married and then want to have children.
You say now that you don't want children, it's mostly because your single and don't have any.
When you find that special someone things will change.

OR

My ex said the same thing until a close family member passed away and she never had children. So he saw how difficult it was to just have everything she worked her whole life for just go to no one. She had a legacy with no one to pass it on to.

Good luck with your decision just know that why spend the money now, when you don't know what the future holds for you?

Answer 5

And suppose some day you should meet the perfect girl for you, you get married, and decide that you want a part of you and her to carry on. If you do get a vasectomy, you need to know that they are NOT 100% guaranteed. A friend of mine's husband had his tubes reroute themselves and she got pregnant. He wanted a divorce because he was sure it wasn't his. She asked him to get checked, and that's what they found.
My ex-husband never had much of a sex drive, but after his vasectomy, he had NO sex drive, whatsoever. We had no relations, at all, for 6 years, then I left. And don't go telling me it's because I'm ugly. I'm 4'11", 36, 25, 36, 109 lb, and I'm a nympho.
So there's a few views on vasectomies for you to think about.

Answer 6

Personal choice. i have a friend who had one as he felt he wouldn't be a good father (due to his upbringing) he has no regrets and is 38. I never wanted kids - lived pretty much without responsibilty, then had one at 35 and wish I had done it 10 years ago, and will have another one or two. So think long and hard - they say it can be reversed but that is no guarantee

Answer 7

No, you never know if you'll change your mind. Many people think that but if you're in a stable relationship in your 30s and change your mind, you're only hope is that you can get it reversed and i heard it's only successful like 1/3 of the time.

Answer 8

I want to commend you on at least thinking about doing something to prevent kids you dont want. I mean you are only 25 but, i have friends that said they didnt want kids and 10 years later @ 30 they want to. I have 2 kids and it is sure a life style change, and i'm only 28! My point is, at least you are being proactive about it!!!

Answer 9

No, you are only 25, you might meet the love of your life and she might want children.... it should be a decision that you make with the person you are going to be with for the rest of your life... you never know... love can change alot of things and u might change your mind

Answer 10

I think that you should wait a while. You may meet the woman of your dreams and change your mind. A vasectomy is reversable, but why go through the pain twice. You should wait a little longer.
