So I've long been considering a vasectomy, and discovered the other day that 15% of men who had a vasectomy have an increased risk of prostate cancer according to one study (link here). I found this out after I was thinking "wait, doesn't research say that clearing your prostate regularly reduces your chances or prostate cancer?"

Anyway, so now that I've found this out, I'm a little less keen to get the snip. I will obviously go speak to medical experts before making my final decision, but it's definitely made me a little less eager to rush out and get it done.

This being said, I know a couple of friends who have never bothered with condoms as their long-term girlfriends are on the pill. I know the pill is pretty damn effective, but was wondering what people's experiences have been in regards to birth control, and whether you've had any woopsies or not?

If you've been pulling out for 10 years, do you think one of the two people are infertile? Asking for a friend

Pull out method has been effective for me.
I have three kids, first one was born because I was high. The next 2(twins) were born because my wife miscalculated that it's her 7th day of her period when it was the 10th.
But since then using a condom. Cant afford any further mistakes.

Well, I've gone through menopause because I'm such an old tannie, so I'm safe

Lol, I love how you answer with menopause but completely ignore that he basically called you Mybb’s bicycle. Everyone’s had a ride ;)

There's also a lot of girls who don't like the idea of taking a pill all the time...kinda ****s with them too.
