When my husband and I talked about the ultimate birth control, it was between him getting a vasectomie or me getting my tubes tied, something that the doctor told me would be painful and would require time in the hospital. We agreed to save money on the bill and time out from work by having him “fixed”. He whined and complained for a few days about having to have the procedure done, because he thought that he would be in pain forever, not to mention have a huge affected area where the procedure would happen. When the doctor showed him the hysteroscope that would be used, he calmed down and got it done with no more complaining.
