Oh yeah, the whole... tube tie thing you were on about. Hmm. Make a stash beforehand and then donate it, hahaha

Say, how did that vasectomy work out BTW?

:eek:

When I made plans for the vasectomy, I hadn't signed up for my filmmaking class, and that class took up most of my time and was physically and emotionally exhausting, so the snipping was put off, and now with the possibility of either having diabetes or being clinically depressed means I'm putting it off until this summer

The doc I met with said that most insurance handlers cover vasectomies

Isn't a choice testicular modification such as a vasectomy somewhat a bit rich for medical 'insurance'? Insured against what - naturally fertilising a woman's egg?

:confused:

Not like it's plastic surgery or something. If I were getting bigger titties, I could understand insurance not covering it. This at least serves a purpose. Besides, don't some insurance companies cover the pill?

It might not be cosmetic, but it is still a procedure for lifestyle 'convenience' instead of a health necessity. Furthermore, considering it might be administered to do away with condoms, it seems odd to 'insure' a person for it who in all likelyhood may be more at risk to spread or receive AIDS.

Good to see you back, Pressure. Hang around.

I have friends that have done that. You get paid more, if you're a non-smoker. They do have a program for smokers too.

I'm not so sure that free vasectomies wouldn't promote promiscuity, and further the STD problem. Not to mention the free reversals of the operation for headstrong teenyboppers who get older and find that life has changed.

For everyone else in long term (and committed) relationships, I think forking out for this big mod is perfectly acceptable if other, cheaper, temporary forms of contraception are deemed too much of a hassle.
