I don't think he liked the idea of the cucumber. It boils down to this:
1. Pull out!
2. Condom!
3. Get cut!
Talk with the wife and see what she thinks of these options. Flip a coin and pick one or something.
Yeah, that idea went over like a lead balloon....
Seriously I'm not sure what "other option" you're looking for berries... Rance pretty much has your options listed as far as birth control from YOUR end short of massive exposure to X-Rays (which may have other side effects ).....
You want to get serious and have serious answers to your question???
Is it just me, or do men think the world revolves around their "package" ??
Women go through the h*ll of pregnancy, some go through breastfeeding, trying to lose the weight afterwards, doing most of the child rearing while cooking, cleaning and some working outside of the home. Oh, and let us not forget the excruciating pain of the LABOR!!
If you ask me Berries, you're being kind of a whiner about this.
If you truly have respect for your wife for all your wife has gone through to give you your sons, you will go to her and say, you're GLAD to do it for her after all she's given you....

It's a really tough thing to get over.... I can't describe the hellacious pain of getting kicked in the "package" and it only needs to happen ONCE for a man to NEVER want anything dangerous near there again.
for advice onhow to do alternative birth control and it has deteriorated into this.
For all you women who post the just be a man stuff let me tell you this. Sure you go through the child birth and my wife has done 5 and never complained and used no drugs.....all natural............. then it is my turn. she is a stay at home mom which I would never change it is the way it should be.
Hey Berries, I never said be a man and get it done. I don't think you should if you don't want to!!

Hard to explain really.
I bet that it isn't as painful as getting kicked in the berries!
There is always an element of fear of the unknown.
Beeries:
I don't think we were saying you were any less of a man AND I can almost guarantee you every man that has had this procedure has had the same worries.
I think most of us were trying to be light hearted (in our sick little ways) to try to make this easier for you.
I won't go into the whole who works harder wife/husband thing.
I beleive for a good marriage it is pretty much 50/50 (or the way I put it in our house ) 100%/100%. After all you must give 100% to make a sucessful marriage.
Lets see ( now I'm on my first cup of java so if it don't make sense I apologize)
Men- 48 hrs recovery
Woman- 2-6 weeks recovery
Depending on "how" the woman is fixed, might cause the need for hormones.
Again, hormone replacement is something us woman are probably going to face during mentapause. But , from what I hear, it ain't no picnic. Why bring it on any sooner than need be.
"IF" your wife goes, and had to stay off her feet for a week or so, who will tend to the her and the children, while you work. Or will you be taking the time off if need be ?
I don't think any of us meant to discount the strength/duty/or responsibility a man has to his family.
I apologize if we had a little fun at your expense. (But sometimes, thats what we do here at CD) We are just a bunch of fun loving people here.
I agree with mjb68....don't do it if you don't want to. Of course, there is a good chance your wife isn't going to be as willing if she feels she may get pregnant after already having 5 kids. Hmmmmm.....not having sex or getting a quick procedure done to stop it???? What to do, what to do...
It'd be nice if the scientists would just hurry up and finish the Male Pill (same idea as the female version, with fewer side effects).
Funny though, how it costs in the neighborhood of $200 to get the vasectomy done, but around $20,000 to get it reversed.
Now kindof a gross question, but after getting the vasectomy, when the guy finishes, does... baby batter without the swimmers still come out, or is it just dry?

Any way you cut it, the risk is far less for the man whatever option is chosen. Don't be selfish.
When women go into childbirth there's always the thought in the back of their mind that they could die. Men don't have to worry about this in reproduction. Go for the vasectomy.
