I\u2019m not really sure how this post is going to turn out, but there\u2019s inherently a lot of thoughts swirling around my head to the point where I feel like I should write something about it, but I\u2019m getting a vasectomy.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the fact that mythical wife and I are most certainly, definitely, irrefutably done with having any kids, admittedly there\u2019s still something there in the noggin about the sheer finality of getting the snip, and although they are supposedly reversible, the intent is clear \u2013 I am not going to have any more kids ever again.\u00a0 This, was always part of the plan, and yet there\u2019s something, perhaps it\u2019s the fact that I\u2019ll have to have a surgery and I\u2019ve never had any sort of surgery in my life before, or maybe it\u2019s just the finality of the intent and scenario of it that has me feeling a little weird.<\/span><\/p>\n Make no mistake though, I don\u2019t want anymore kids.\u00a0 We don\u2019t want anymore kids, mythical wife and I.\u00a0 There is a 0% chance that I\u2019m going to chicken out and not go through with it, not to mention the fact that I\u2019ll be out $300 if I did, and I fucking hate the idea of wasted money as much as anything else, but I\u2019d be lying if I weren\u2019t feeling some strange feelings of apprehension and melancholy about what I\u2019m going to go through.<\/span><\/p>\n But despite all the weird feelings and emotions, I know it in my head that I\u2019m 100% making the right call and I will have no regrets afterward.\u00a0 I have my children, they\u2019re perfect and they\u2019re all I want, and I have no desire to father anymore kids in my life.\u00a0 Despite how many times I\u2019ve been strapped for cash in my life and despite the curiosity and the enticement of getting paid to pleasure myself, I\u2019ve never donated sperm before; I don\u2019t want any mystery kids borne of a random selection in a catalog to a woman I don\u2019t know showing up in my life later on.\u00a0 As far as I am concerned, my genetics are ending, and if there was ever some form or archaic desire for my family\u2019s genes to continue on, then that\u2019s up to my daughters to do, if they ever so choose to procreate in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n Plus, the world is going backwards, and somehow women pretty much have fewer reproductive rights than they did before I was born which is a whole other can of worms that tends to make me feel sad for my wife, my daughters, and all the women in the world that I have care for, so it genuinely feels like I\u2019m doing my part of being responsible, and being an ally by going through with a vasectomy, especially since I am most definitely done with having any additional children.<\/span><\/p>\n The last thing my household needs to have in their lives is an oops situation, where corrective measures couldn\u2019t be utilized without becoming a fugitive, and the only legal alternative is to have another child, that wasn\u2019t planned for.\u00a0 Absolutely not.<\/span><\/p>\n So yeah, I\u2019m going under the knife (or laser or whatever), and despite the weird state of mind the whole thing has me feeling as the clock ticks closer to my appointment, I know it in my head and in my heart that it is the right thing to do, and I will have no regrets about it.\u00a0 I have my perfect kids, don\u2019t want more, and mythical wife has done enough as far as shouldering the pain in the ass burden when it comes to further responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m not really sure how this post is going to turn out, but there\u2019s inherently a lot of thoughts swirling around my head to the point where I feel like I should write something about it, but I\u2019m getting a vasectomy.
