Men Over Thirty, what's your opinion on getting the snip? (feddit.uk)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

For context, I got mine done just over two years ago. No complications (as of yet...). I've also got two kids already.

A few guys at work were absolutely baffled by my decision, and I even heard one was questioning my masculinity.

I know someone who got the snip pretty young because he and his wife didn't want kids. Years later friends of ours had kids and it changed their mind. He got it undone and they had a kid.

Seems like a minor thing to do and condoms are the worst.

They aren't always reversible and no one should go into it with that mindset.

And that's fair.

That's true. But the majority can be.

I actually never minded using condoms and even still, I wished I'd done it earlier. So much better, even the stretch where we still used rubbers because the wife wasn't ready for creampies yet, I came so much easier knowing there was virtually zero chance of pregnancy.

I have a larger than average and less sensitive than average penis, so as an insertive partner, condoms just aren't usable for me.

As a receptive partner condoms hurt. Like burning tearing sensation painful.

I found out in my late 30s that there is a common ingredient in cheap water-based lubes that many people are sensitive towards, which causes that unpleasant burning sensation. Most condoms are pre-lubed with the stuff.
