My husband had a vasectomy when he was 31. We already had a ds and dd, and we were at the point where we were either going to try for a third child or decide that our family was complete. We were very happy with our family and the way our lives were going, so we decided on the vasectomy-- primarily because sterilization is a much simplier and less risky proceedure for a man than for a woman. The funny part was when most of our male friends and neighbors started phoning my husband to ask about the proceedure, because their wives were after them to get a vasectomy, too, but they were too nervous about the myth of losing any "manhood"!! Our ds and dd are both in college now, and we have never regretted our decision.
