The Great Snip Debate

Skinny · July 21, 2008, 01:47:42 PM

How many Ladies out there have battled to get their males other halves to go for the snip? Had an interesting conversation this morning regarding this topic as my dearly beloved labrador went for his. My better half was moaning saying that all the men in our house end up having their Balls cut off at some stage or other!!! But really if you think about the risks that woman have to go through with the pill and breast cancer, hormone (ja don'y pay her) replacement therapy, hytorectomys etc, why should men get off scott free, just half an hour in an operating theatre, and the next day they are back at work, six weeks later back to check for non swimmers, and every thing is hunky dory. Every thing still works like it is suposed to and I mean every thing, only difference is no more babies. So ladies what did you do to get your man to take the leap? And gentlmen did you do the honourable thing or did you just say its a womans thing and leave my bits alone?

It wasn't to much of an issue in our house,after my "laatlam" Lindzi was born 20yrs ago. We decided that was it and that the "Snip" was a whole lot easier and simpler than than me being done.

I am glad. I done it in O-mund in 1979

Have tried to convince the males in my family, no go.......

To me very selfish, why should the girls go through with all those pills and side effects.

In SA very popular, here most men refuse it.

In SA we said its a conversion to a sports modell, that is what it is, ride for fun only LOL

Wasn't an issue in our house either, my other half bless him was empathising with Augustus, the labby who seemed more excited about jumping into the "Rooi Lorry" (shame he thought he was on his was to the beach) if only he knew? It actually is a joke in the family. However another beer drinking, sirloin eating smothered in Ina Permons pepper sauce (no names mentioned!!!!!) person is dead against it so I threated to put it on the forum and he said don't you dare! has I said ok no names no pack drill. So names mentioned. Bet at a braai over the fence he is going to lament over this discussion. It isn't that sore you know, promise, and you get a sucker from the doctor for being a big boy!!!!!!

Its not without pain, but thats very short and bearable considering to advantages

So i advise all men to think it over.

You have a family ??

Your family has reached the size you want ???

You dont want to start a new family again ???

If all of the family would die in a accident would you want to start all over again ???

Do you want your girl swallowing that stuff until menopause ????

Thes are question each of the men must consider and then decide, the arguments against it here, are very hyprocate, cowards i say .

But also consider that the girls may interprete that as you want to go on a rampage with others

What ever you do, the girls will have to be consulted before
I have spoken !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi all

I'm not a fan. Don't think anyone should have to do anything to theire bodies that can not be undone?
I am on the pill and fully understand the risks, but would never ask my husband to do that. You never know what lies in front of you............he might run away with a younger model and have more babies

. only joking

Diana Rudd (Boehme) · July 21, 2008, 02:31:30 PM

I didn't ASK my husband.......he decided.

Michael Alexander · July 21, 2008, 03:09:04 PM

Best I better be on the watchout if Michele tempts me to jump into the bakkie with a case of beer and a big piece of steak and tells me that we are off to the beach for a braai.....
