Visectomies... OR W.O u spell it...
i was tired last night...
Of course there are always exceptions but I dont think anyone at age 15 can say whether or not for sure they want kids.
You never know how you'll feel in 10 yrs... thats a lot of time and things change. Plus, who knows who you will be married to in 10 yrs.
I also think you should know how to spell it before you can get it, lol, sorry :P
Yeah MAYBE i am being Naive for wanting one, but i dont FEEL like i EVER want kids, umm i cant exactly argue with a doctor, but i would also want to talk to my g/f just in case she wanted kids ((for whatever reason)) i want it to be mutual, i just want to EXPRESS myself to her... Via. Sex but W/O the nasty aftereffects and nightmare of waiting for her period at the end of the month....lol, i sound like a typical "hit it and quit it" but that's not the case. Umm... thank you for your input, but i still feel strongly about it and i plan to stick to it, my career goal is to be a Cosmetic Surgeon ((go me))
There are no legal or other rigid requirements. That does mean you will be able to find a doctor who would do it.
Consider a vasectomy as irreversible. Yes, you can find adverts for reversing them but do not count on it. You have it done, you are sterile - forever. Common rules of thumb applied would be over age 30; already have kids; chance of passing on some genetic disease; married or past marriage.
I am not advocating any of these criteria; only making you aware. If you came into my office, I would most likely refuse to refer you to have it done. Decision making in adolescence is not the best. That has been demonstrated in driving, sex, career choice, academic performance and a hundred other things. A good decision at 19 is often a terrible decision looking back from 30. My own choice to become sexually active at a young age was terrible. I was lucky and got off the ride fr a while. With a vasectomy, you are on the ride forever.
