Do I feel less of a man?

I see from my website logs that somebody in Edinburgh typed this into Google:

can a man feel less of a man after having a vasectomy?

For some reason my name comes up second in Google’s rankings in response to that question!  (No snarky comments please.)

The answer is no.  You should feel less of a man if you are too afraid to have a simple, safe operation and instead you make your girlfriend or wife take the substantially increased risk of cancer that accompanies the contraceptive pill.  If you don’t want children, a vasectomy is about the safest and most reliable form of contraception.   And it won’t make you any less of a man.
