How to Convince a Man to Get a Vasectomy

It's little wonder that the word "vasectomy" makes a man cringe and squirm. The myths surrounding a vasectomy, as well as the prospect of having a stranger hold a sharp object to his nether regions, is enough to make a man abstain from sex altogether. However, there are ways to convince a man to get a vasectomy. Read on to learn more.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

1. Schedule an appointment with a certified urologist. Only a doctor will be able to provide the medical facts and dispel any reservations your spouse may have about getting a vasectomy.

2. Reaffirm to your spouse that having a vasectomy is an almost pain-free and quick surgical procedure that will not diminish his sexual feeling or performance.

3. Reassure your spouse that he will not be any less of a man, nor will you regard him as such.

4. Have your spouse talk to another man who has had a vasectomy. Personal testimony can often sway a man into having the procedure completed.

5. Remind your spouse that a vasectomy is the most effective form of birth control and that the procedure is much less invasive and expensive than compared to a woman's tubal sterilization.

6. Declare that your sex life will be more pleasurable without having to worry about unintended pregnancies. The promise of more, and better, sex might be what it takes to convince a man to get a vasectomy.

Tips & Warnings

• The decision to undergo a vasectomy should be reached by both a man and his partner, if in a committed relationship. As a vasectomy is a permanent form of birth control, you should both agree on the reasons to have a vasectomy.

on 11/18/2008 I have a serious problem with this article. Was this written by someone who actually had the procedure done, just read about it or profits from it ?
Under step 2 "almost pain free" you are joking right ? I have had pain off an on for months after the procedure (still do), sometimes it's disabling.
Step 6 "Your sex life will be more pleasurable." Sorry wrong again I have lost most of the pleasurable sensation and have since found many, many others with the same problem you just won't find it in any disclaimer form.
PLease stop spreading such misinformation. Had I been told the truth of the potential side effects I would have never allowed my body to be mutilated like this. It has not enhanced my sex life but rather destroyed it.

on 11/6/2008 What a crock. Vasectomy is an elective procedure that can potentially affect orgasm and sexual pleasure. For 13-19% of men, it causes chronic testicular pain that affects sexual function in 1 to 5%. Vasectomy causes testicular damage that worsens with time since vasectomy. "Convincing" a man to get a vasectomy is a good way to end a relationship, especially if the man develops chronic pain or changes in sexual function. Google "post-vasectomy pain" and read the medical literature prior to vasectomy.
