Good! You shouldn't. If you're trying to not have children, you should be on birth control, or partner should be in birth control, and you should use condoms.

I've been there done that, lol. I'm old and already did the contraception and condoms long ago. Have 2 children now, do not want more. It sounds like a nice alternative to snipping, but I just can't trust it. We are fine, and im sure menopause is not far away for her.

Don't fear the snip.

I think it's mostly a matter of being quasi irreversible rather than fear of surgery. That's a huge decision to take if you don't have children.

True. AFAIK the procedure itself is irreversible, but you can still have kids with in vitro if you dumb your mind.
