Whenever I again consider getting one and start reading up opinions on the Internet, it is usually a mix of a lot of people who say they're absolutely OK now ... and then I run into someone who says it COMPLETELY destroyed their life and they're in pain all day every day.

Some even say they've been fine for quite a bit of time and then suddenly the pain starts.

Which in total makes me absolutely NOT want a vasectomy even though I have zero desire to reproduce.

Because it does feel plausible that it can cause trouble to lock something up in the body which is meant to be released once in a while.

I hope some day men too will have real and reliable (condoms fail a lot) self-determination in terms of reproduction, not only "suffer abstinence your whole life or risk getting financially gutted for decades."
