Speaking of Never Having Kids...

Thanks for nothing, Slate. No matter what good, larger, save-the-world, be-a-hero-to-one-woman point you make about vasectomies, no guy is ever going to get past the following sentences:

• "I have a friend who had it done and he couldn't feel his dick for 10 months," a guy at a dinner party told me, knowledgably. "After that I said, 'No way.' "
• There was a needle in my scrotum. Scrotums were not designed with needles in mind.
• ...what would happen if you applied 170 pounds of pressure on a single male testicle.
