If it's one committed man, vasectomy is a valid topic, right? Men who are worthy of our time and love take responsibility for these issues along with us. Good luck with everything!

The IUD is quite common and the new ones that have been out for the past few years get rave reviews. they are NOT restricted to those who already have children. Are you sure you're not confusing IUD with Essure? Essure is permanent, IUD can be removed by your doctor and there are two types. Take a look at the Planned Parenthood website, it's filled with really good info on the options, side effects, etc having to do with IUD's, hormonal methods, etc, etc. Sat, 09 May 2009 06:21:00 GMT http://herbalmedicine.tribe.net/thread/49799721-b86d-4f47-81f0-8d0efd4d9075#39b98276-3eec-4db9-8b1b-2e5e39b691af girl mark 2009-05-09T06:21:00Z http://herbalmedicine.tribe.net/thread/49799721-b86d-4f47-81f0-8d0efd4d9075#a4dce923-e0d1-4fe5-80a7-fd32fddb85ac hear hear! Also, vasectomies are fully covered by basic medical insurance. Note: it is recommended that the man make an appointment with a licensed Urologist to do a procedure which is known as "no scalpel". My boyfriend went in and 30 minutes later, walked out, I took him home and proceeded to put him in tighty whiteys with a bag of peas on his scrotum 20 minutes per hour. While he took precautions not to overdo anything (no hiking nor riding his bike) for 3 weeks, he experienced very little pain save for a dull ache the day following the procedure. If people were truly interested in the well being of this planet, men would have the procedure and simply cryo their sperm. For one, children are expensive, way beyond the cost of a college education. Second, they are an additional burden on the earth. But the fairly prevalent urge to procreate coupled with the egotistical justifcation for having children will almost always prevail over any common sense / logical explanation for NOT having children.

My husband had a vasectomy. It's a weird thing, but the procedure and recovery were very easy, especially compared with a tubal ligation, not to mention pregnancy/childbirth/breastfeeding and all of that. Part of me wants humanity to figure out all of this stuff conclusively, and part of me feels like it's so unnatural to tinker with a basic function of health that I don't want to think about it too much... I feel lucky to be in a committed relationship with a man who was happy to take the V-plunge. We've both been especially glad ever since he did it ;) Fri, 08 May 2009 20:22:31 GMT http://herbalmedicine.tribe.net/thread/49799721-b86d-4f47-81f0-8d0efd4d9075#2ceb9ab7-2833-4e73-88b5-2db0f05abaab fixit fox 2009-05-08T20:22:31Z http://herbalmedicine.tribe.net/thread/49799721-b86d-4f47-81f0-8d0efd4d9075#80582deb-2755-4dee-b5c5-86aed464a39f you'd be hard pressed to find an herbal way to "sterilize" yourself.
