They will if you offer them money.

someone did that for underprivileged women and he was taken to court - he granted $1,000 to each woman who chose to have a tubal ligation and people freaked out.

Overall - there should be no limits to surgical sterilization - someone should be 20 with no kids (male or female) and have a little snippity snip if they so choose - maybe a preliminary 1 year waiting list so they can think it over or something . . . but it should be more readily encouraged and available. . . and free or otherwise more affordable.

Oh.... I thought you were talking about people who regularly take drugs/prescriptions on a recurring basis.

I dont put pills in my body unless I need them....which is why I have a cabinet full of narcotic pain relievers from two years ago when I got my vasectomy and had my gall bladder removed in the same summer.

Its so retarded, they give you like 90 pills with 2 refills for something that your only in REAL pain for 2 days for...... Can you say 'Drug Dealer'???

Its no wonder there are so many people hooked on prescription pain killers.

Well I agree we do over-medicate in many ways. I know when I was like 15 and got my wisdom teeth out the gave me like 30 Perks with 2 refills?????

I didnt use any, now Im sure there some people that have too but 90 perks? if you need them all Id guess the surgery went wrong lol

Oh no you don't, reproductive rights, his body, his choice, and all that.....if you require a 1 year waiting list for this then you have to require a 1 year waiting list for an abortion.

A lot of people who oppose a woman getting her tubes tied before she's had kids - or before she has more than 1 kid - do so because they firmly believe that women will suffer serious emotional and mental problems from the overwhelming desire *to have kids* after they've rendered theirselves sterile.

Most doctors refuse to do so unless they feel that you've literally "had enough" - emotionally, physically, mentally, financially.

Even after having four children my doctor made me consider it - he questioned me routinely, "are you sure" and "you KNOW it's permanent, don't you?" and all that. . .he never told me ' you should avoid having more kids ' - but he certainly cautioned me against having a tubal done.

As a result of the 'permanancy' of it - they've devised a procedure that is designed to be reversible - but it's more likely to fail.

I *do* oppose same-day elective abortions - it shouldn't be so simple.
I see nothing wrong with waiting a while to have it done. . . except that can quickly cross into 'too late for you' - because I don't support late-term abortions. . .there's a window of time and that's that.

A visectomy isn't that bad - it's an outpatient procedure and usually has a short waiting-time for the male.
A tubal ligation is an all out surgery and the recovery time for me was a week. . . far more significant.

1 year, that was your number. 1 year. Not 3 days, but 365 days.

Yes - "a 1 year wait" - as opposed to being denied a tubal or visectomy because of a *lack* of having enough children to *qualify*

I personally don't see the need for a wait at all - but currently - if a woman has just one child and is in her 20's and goes to her Gyno to set up a tubal ligation surgery date they just won't do it - they'll tell her to 'see someone else'

You're hung up on women's birth control for some reason...this thread is about men, and you and I are talking about vasectomy, not a tubal.

I lack knowledge - I've never inquired about a visectomy - I'm not male.

Do doctors oppose visectomies for men who don't have kids/have 1 kid on the idea that "in the future you might want more?"
 
No, but that's probably because I don't have sex with women, so what would be the point?

:mrgreen: Alright, so for reasons not to take birth control we have "I had a vasectomy" and "I'm gay" :peace
 
I knew someone would bring this up at some point.



Except for the fact that there's immigration.



When there are tons of unwanted babies and children in our society, what's the better thing to do? Provide for a child whose own parents can't provide for him/her because they made some dumb mistakes, or ignoring the problem by wasting your time and effort on having your own kids when those efforts could be used on another individual that actually needs help?

Well I think it's kind of better to adopt too... I would rather give a child in an orphanage a chance, than create a new baby. It's tragic that children die orphans and are neglected by their societies.
 
No, and I wouldn't let my wife take hormonal birth control as it raises the risk of breast cancer. We'll stick to other forms of birth control. I don't like the idea of pills and hormones controlling fertility in either man or woman.

You won't let your wife take hormonal birth control... will you let her leave the house or drive a car?

Precisely.
 
Im sure I could look it up but is Depo-Provera hormonal? Cause I was basing my answer of of that particular BC because the last hand-full of GFs Ive had were all on it and loved it. Only one was mentally/emotionally effected even a little and she just god sad sometimes with movies and stuff lol

Yes it's hormonal... and that's funny they had a good response to it, because two of my friends had a bad reaction to it. My sister was on the patch, and it made her brain bleed... she started getting really bad migraines when she took it
 
Almost everyone woman I know who has taken the pill long-term has had irregular periods or none for up to a year after. I would hate to think what this could do to men if they took some kind of hormonal birth control.

The pill ****s up your body and all those hormones enter the water systems when you urinate, causing mutations in wildlife. In some areas, people end up drinking water from the tap that has birth control in it, which is just gross.

I generally don't think relying on hormonal bc is good long term... it has a lot of risks, and they increase the older you get
 
Is the market there?

I absolutely would be willing to take male birth control.

Besides, you know, collecting comic books, reading Star Trek novels, and buying Transformers toys.

Gee... I barely got 10 perks... :(
 
LOL honest mistake either way doesnt matter

I was just curious where your limits are, I know you are quite more religious than I am in the literal/by the book sense. So I was shocked you dont view sex, purposely without the intent to conceive as a sin. Not that I think it is and "shocked" is probably too strong of a worried, more like interesting thats all. :)

I'm not morally or religiously opposed to birth control pills or contraception. I just wouldn't take hormonal birth control or allow my wife to take them because they increase her risk for breast cancer. They also can have some bad side affects like mood problems and acne break outs. I don't think it's sinful or immoral to use condoms or take birth control pills. I am just personally opposed to them for medical reasons, I don't care if someone else choses to use them.

Thanks for answering Digsbe but I more or less understood before but its still appreciated.
Just interesting since a decent amount I know that share your stance on abortion and some that share your OLD stance on gay marriage believe sex without intent to conceive in sinful and immoral.

I believe sex without the intent to conceive isn't a sin. I have nothing wrong with it morally.

me neither of course ;)
 
I might (hence my vote of maybe).

Just curious though, is this thread in response to the recent study of the way women change during ovulation and how birth control may or may not affect those changes?
