Seriously, go educate yourself for once. It wouldn't kill you.

Chloe King4 said:Wait, have you ever thought about just sticking to anal sex instead?
😂 That would seriously tank my dating pool. 😁
Chloe King4 said:I don't know man... I wouldn't want anyone messing around with my junk if I could help it, but hey, if you want to go for it—be my guest!
Look, you just need to be educated—it makes life so much easier. This procedure has been around for over a century now, so we actually know a ton about how it works and what the fallout looks like. There's really no point in playing guessing games in the 21st century. Out in the West, this is a totally standard, normal procedure. But hey, maybe one day the 21st century will finally arrive here and people will actually know what they're talking about.
Chloe King4 said:I mean, from what I've been reading, it totally trashes your sex life too, so you're definitely hitting the nail on the head there.
You're reading it wrong. It doesn't tank your sex life at all. You're just sterile. Your testosterone production keeps right on humming.
To put it in plain English...
It’s like having a gun that fires blanks instead of real bullets. It still goes off, but it isn't doing any damage. I don't know how much clearer I can make that.
Chloe King4 said:I mean, wouldn't it just be way easier if you stopped having sex altogether?
Sure, it's easy—but I'm not about to deny myself that if I don't have to! Look, you don't *have* to eat either—you could just hook yourself up to an IV drip with glucose or whatever—but that pretty much kills your quality of life, doesn't it?
rustybadger49 said:Out of all the contraceptive options out there, he’s actually opting for this absolute "middle ages" disaster. crimsonwolf21, you really need to do some digging through the forums on this one. There are serious side effects following the procedure—I’ve already mentioned a few, but honestly, trying to undo this once it's done is an absolute nightmare. His sex life isn't going to improve; it's likely going to take a massive hit. Here are the risks:

On top of that, I've seen plenty of people reporting issues with impotence after the surgery:

And let's not forget the physical reality: the volume of ejaculate decreases, which inevitably leads to a much less satisfying orgasm.
If you’d actually bothered to read those links, you wouldn't be talking such nonsense. It’s obvious there are "side effects" after surgery—meaning you have to recover from the procedure itself. That’s just standard for any surgical work—even one this relatively non-invasive.
This procedure is a total game-changer—honestly, in my case, it beats the hell out of the idea of having a kid I didn't plan for and all those forced responsibilities that come with it.
Morgan Newman7 said:Pretty sure every sexually active person has had a moment of pure insanity while waiting on test results... 😉 It's cool that you want to be responsible and have figured out your stance on parenthood, but honestly, I think there’s an age limit for this stuff, just like there is for women. Not sure why it's such a big deal here in the States, feels overly strict... like people can't just make their own damn choices.
If I remember correctly from other threads, you work abroad, right? Might be worth checking out the process and costs in another country...
That "breakdown" actually left me with some serious health issues. But hey, lessons learned, right? Luckily everything turned out fine.
Yeah, I work for a foreign company that sends me on field assignments all over the national map. Anyway, I found this clinic in Vienna. They have a website and it's even available in English. 👍 In the USA, there's an age limit of 35, so that's a total non-starter for me. What kind of fanatic wrote that law? 🙄 Austria is definitely on the table for now. 👍
I'll check out Canada too.
Dear crimsonwolf21 🙂
Thank you for your inquiry.
We perform the so-called “no-scalpel” vasectomy. It is currently the easiest and most modern method.
Please find additional information regarding the details attached. The surgical procedure is simple and only takes about 20 minutes.
The entire appointment lasts about 1 hour.
Once you reach 25 years of age, every man is entitled to undergo a vasectomy. Consent from another person is not required.
You can schedule an appointment within one to two weeks.
Please keep in mind that you should take it easy during the first few days following the vasectomy (no sports, no heavy physical labor).
The fees for the vasectomy include the necessary semen analyses and amount to 910 €. We require some information concerning your health status to set the appointment—this can be handled via telephone, email, or in person.
For more details, please give us a call during our Office Hours : Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm and Saturday, 8:00am to 1:00pm.
For further information, please visit our website at www.prowoman.at or www.provasektomie.at.
We would like to invite you to our next consultation session with one of our urologists to receive more detailed information and advice. The next one is scheduled for Friday, December 9th, 2016 at 2 pm.
This is an open discussion with a maximum of 10 participants. Please call us beforehand if you would like to attend.
Hoping to have answered all your questions,
Kind regards,

Any urologists hanging out here? What’s the actual process like? I’m 32 and I don't want kids—ever. Seriously, ever. I’ve never been in a relationship in my entire life, and I don't want one now, later, or ever; just the thought of accidentally becoming a parent gives me a massive anxiety attack.
I’ve had a few flings where I was stuck waiting around for them to get their act together because they were running late—honestly, I aged five years in a single month. Even though I used protection, I am absolutely done dealing with that bullshit ever again.
With all due respect, we all know how women can be regarding certain things. At first, they claim they'd never have kids with some "adventurer" they know everything about from the jump, but if they actually get pregnant? They'll just go for an abortion. That's the fat majority right there—damn hormones. For us guys, we end up getting hit with child support, and then one day that kid grows up wanting answers, and you're forced to tell them the truth about how things went down and why they didn't have a father all those years. It's obvious everyone loses in that scenario, and frankly, that chaos and bad blood isn't worth it for anyone.
Look, I know I'm selfish, cold, and heartless—but that's who I am, and at least I'm honest about it.
Bottom line: I'm dead set on this decision and I want to make it happen. If there's a decent soul here who can share their experience on where to go and what the procedure is actually like, let me know. Thanks. 🙂
Paul Wilson72 said:For instance, a teacher could spend the first 10 minutes of class setting things up, split the students into groups, and then step out for a moment, returning for the final 5 minutes. Even if the period is extended from 45 to 75 minutes, students in Denmark have much more freedom, yet they don't abuse it. Even when the teacher isn't physically in the room, they sit down and work with discipline—something that feels almost impossible here.
Is there anyone brave enough to leave kids alone in a classroom for 45 minutes, let alone 60? In 99.9% of schools around here, they'd be causing chaos across the entire neighborhood.
As for education itself, we simply need to modernize it. However, we shouldn't be turning kids into narrow-minded specialists. You can learn almost any job or trade in a relatively short amount of time, even without a degree. Ultimately, you end up with exactly what an employer wants—especially in the US—someone without formal schooling who is willing to work for minimum wage and knows how to do just one specific task. We saw thousands of those "specialists" after 30 years in a factory; when the plant closed, they were the ones protesting. I understand they suddenly felt the ground slip away from under them, but honestly, what do you expect when you do the exact same thing your whole life and lifelong learning is a total mystery to you?
Our school system could be reformed relatively quickly. Alongside mandatory subjects (typically those required for state exams), individual schools should have the freedom to create modern programs tailored to market needs. Vocational schools should focus heavily on practical skills rather than just memorizing theoretical concepts. Of course, it is much, much easier to repeat the same old story year after year until retirement—at least for some. Others feel suffocated by the curriculum dictated by the Department of Education; their hands are tied. Even if they want to provide more, they aren't allowed to offer anything beyond what is strictly prescribed. So, "naturally," the teachers get blamed for everything, but the logic just doesn't hold up. We need freedom. Right now, teachers are spending more time dealing with bureaucracy than actually teaching.
😂
What on earth are they going to "create" when the fat majority of bureaucrats working there have zero real-world experience outside of a classroom? These quasi-officials live in a bubble that has nothing to do with reality. Most of them are mentally still stuck back in America. 🙂 What is an indoctrinated idiot like that supposed to teach anyone?
The rest of this is just stating the obvious—stuff that's been repeated for decades while nothing actually moves. And it won't move, because schools, just like any other government institution, exist primarily to provide jobs for insiders—that's the priority, and everything else is secondary. Basically, kids go to school so those people can have a paycheck, and what the kids actually learn doesn't matter. Life will teach them the things that actually matter.
wearyowl29 said:I disagree! I think they’d actually get stuck, frozen in place by a single generation. The gap between generations wouldn't be fast enough to push society toward any kind of mental evolution.
If we were looking at the timeline from our era, only a few generations would have passed. We'd probably still be scratching notes on parchment instead of typing away on a MacBook!
I'm not so sure about that. Humans are never satisfied with how things are—we're always chasing change. I don't buy the idea that we'd just stall out or that progress would stop dead.
wearyowl29 said:That sounds cool on paper, but who would even want it...?
The collective mindset of our society in this century is still stuck in the era of plantation slavery—it takes much more than five or six generations to finally shake off the habit of treating people like property.
They wouldn't, because they'd evolve. Look, it’s not like we were suddenly teleported into the future and we're lagging 500 years behind while trying to catch up. Sure, some idiots would still be idiots even after 500 years, but most people would have evolved by then.
fadedbison said:Wait, you think 500 years counts as "forever"? 🙄 🙄 🙄
Look, if we actually had the tech right now to live for 500 years, you can bet your ass we’d figure out how to hack immortality within that timeframe—technology doesn't just sit still. Sure, 500 years isn't mathematically infinite, but for all intents and purposes, it damn well is.
Eternal life is just a fancy way of describing hell. Imagine being stuck watching human stupidity for 500 years straight? Is there actually a worse curse than that? 😲
Nicholas Kern90 said:I'll have to warn him they're spiking his oats and whey with Aunt Winnie🤣
Go ahead. Tell it straight to coaches Gojković and Drašković—though I doubt anyone even knows who they are... 🤣
Nicholas Kern90 said:I’m telling you right now—it’s 100% natural. No cycles, no gear, nothing. 😉
I know the guy personally...
The whole point is you can get huge if you actually put in the work—effort equals results.
Btw, the kid in the photo is about 152 lbs at 5'10".
There is no way that level of shredded is natural—it's just not happening. 🙂 Uncle Winny (among others) clearly did the heavy lifting here.

This guy is riding pretty low— and he’s 100% natural--
Would you bet your life on that claim?
Anthony Garcia19 said:Alright, fair point. But what if everyone actually showed up? People would probably just vote for their own interests again—stuff that outsiders call "privileges." In a society that basically celebrates selfishness in every aspect of life, you can't really expect a different pattern of behavior. That's exactly why we need a political movement willing to rein in that irrational individualism and bring back ideas like unity and cooperation. You can't blame "the people" for the lack of such an option, because "the people" barely exist anymore; we've just become a bunch of isolated individuals who feel powerless to change anything.
The responsibility actually lies with the few informed individuals out there. They should organize somehow—even within the current democratic system—to gradually push for new or even old-school ideas that differ from what's dominating right now. Until that happens, the politicians will remain the main culprits, since they hold all the levers of power and it's entirely up to them whether they use it for the common good or just for themselves.
What would happen if everyone stayed home? Maybe we'd see some social responsibility and the maturity to actually have a country you could manage according to a logical vision of success? Walking out and voiding ballots as a form of civil disobedience—if every single option is malicious—is a sign of maturity. Leaving things to chance is just immaturity or lethargy—basically a death wish, because leaving everything to fate is a straight shot to chaos.
I’m sticking to my guns: the responsibility lies with the people. If a nation can't keep its representatives in check, then that nation doesn't have a future. Americans—no matter how uneducated they might seem when they actually get involved in something—will push it through to the end. Around here, whenever anything gets organized, even for serious stuff, it looks like The Muppet Show or some kindergarten for the developmentally delayed. This is going to come back to haunt us—so hard that one day, our kids will be spitting in our faces. I really wish I were wrong.
neonhound18 said:Of course it shouldn't, though I find myself wondering who, if anyone, would actually implement change. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party likely won't lift a finger until they're absolutely backed into a corner by a total lack of funds, and by then, it'll be far too late. I'd dearly love to be proven wrong, and I truly hope there's at least one individual within those parties possessing even a shred of common sense.
There isn't a single one of them like that. They're all just drunk on power and couldn't care less about anything else. All they care about is how much they can squeeze out of the system while they've still got the mandate—everything else? To hell with it. Seriously, haven't we learned anything yet? It's pathetic.
Anthony Garcia19 said:That’s exactly my point: people always hold onto that hope that someone capable will step up. No matter how unrealistic it feels, that hope stays alive because Americans don't actually support corruption, cronyism, or all that other nonsense.
Waiting for people like that is just like waiting for the Messiah. Who actually has the time to waste their life here hoping for a miracle?
America is burning down right now—we need solutions yesterday, before it's too late—before we lose our entire foundation of knowledge for good.
Anthony Garcia19 said:Look, people don't vote for politicians because they want corruption. They vote because they hope for the opposite—they expect leaders to actually drive the kind of progress that moves society forward.
That’s why I think blaming the public instead of the politicians is a mistake. Politicians are the ones with the actual power to set the direction and make things happen. Most folks just adapt to the reality they're given because, honestly, sometimes that's the only way to get by. Sure, you have those rare idealists who refuse to bend, but their voices are usually too quiet to really shift the needle for the majority...
Oh, give me a break. These two parties have been running the show for 25 years and there is zero—absolutely zero—difference between them. An "avanguard of positive change" in the Republican Party or the Democratic Party? You seriously have a sick sense of humor.
Most people don't even bother showing up to vote—they'd rather stay home than spoil a ballot—and then they have the nerve to whine about being unemployed or begging their parents for cash. It's the same story with people working jobs that don't even pay them. The only ones hitting the polls are the small group of government bureaucrats voting to protect their own cushy perks, while everyone else just stays passive. So what do you expect? It's all just a bunch of nonsense to avoid dealing with reality.
