"Vasectomy: Permanent sterilization for men. It is done by cutting the vas deferens tubes between your testicles and your groin, and sealing them either with stitches or heat sealing (cauterization). The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia."

Young black male, age 25, with 3 kids:
Word. I'm new to posting threads, so here it goes.
My wife and I both agree that we are finished having kids. We are both under 30 years-old and recognize the fact that this may change in time. However, all other forms of birth control aren't for us (i.e. condoms, oral contraceptives, shots, patches... etc). We both agree these methods (except condoms) are completely unnatural and many health risks may arise with the use of these birth control methods. In researching information about vasectomies, I'm not sure I'm down with this procedure either. After a vasectomy (cutting of the vas deferens), the sperm stay within your body and are left to die without an outlet. This has the potential for changing the male hormonal levels dramatically and causing various health problems.
Any ideas or thoughts on this subject?
