Im getting pressurised into having it done – should I go along with it for a quiet life?
The decision to have a vasectomy affects both people in a couple. Therefore to some extent it will naturally be a joint decision. However, at the end of the day, it is something you need to be sure that you want to have done. Statistically, the men who regret vasectomy least are those where the couple both attended the counselling session, and it’s a considered decision not made under pressure. The men who have been forced into vasectomy often regret the decision. It’s a common reason for reversal, and those who have psychological/sexual difficulties after vasectomy are most often the ones forced into having it done.
