Guys: Would you consider getting "fixed" for temporary BC?

1 Answer

Answer :

As an older woman who had been solely responsible for contraception during my child-bearing years which is ironic considering how infertile I was and didn’t know it I applaud your commitment to the safety and health of your partner. Especially since you’ve thought ahead to the possibility that sometimes such procedures are not successfully reversed. Good on you, @tedd See, I don’t have slap you every time! ;-)
