birthday gift ideas girlfriend age 21 image
Gonzo
I think I am going to get one with my first paycheck out of college. I'd rather have a dog that pisses and eats everything than a rugrat. Besides dogs are always fun to have and if you get tired of one you can give it away. I guess you can do the same with a kid.
Anyone get the procedure? How long does it take to heal? How much was it?
Answer
I had my vasectomy at 21 (as my 22nd birthday gift). I never wanted kids. I know lots of guys that have kids, as well as quite a handful that made the same decision as you and I did.
Let us examine some of the aspects of having a vasectomy young:
Happiness: If you ask the men whom have kids if they would have done it differently you get some interesting answers: Ask in public, and they will say that they would not trade their kids for anything in the world. Ask in private, they will say, “Why on gods green earth didn’t I use condoms?”.
Economics: Back in 1989 I paid $250 cash. I didn’t have health insurance. I went to a non-profit clinic. That means the cost came to $1.10 per month(over 19 years). Most men, I know pay child support. Most pay at least $300 a month per child. None of this includes paying for school, clothing, bail, and all the other things that kids cost.
So was getting a vasectomy a good idea?: Just one look at all the stamps in my passport, or the photographs I have taken around the world is more than enough evidence that I made the right choice. That is not bad for 15 min on the operating table, two days recovery, and $250!
Is a vasectomy detectable?: There is no scar, and nobody will ever know. Nobody ever needs to know that you got it! I think you should keep it a secret. The reason is simple. At your age, most women are not going to date you if they know you are fixed. When you are older, like me, it is a plus. At my age 1 in 5 women don’t want kids. Two of the remaining 4 have kids that are grown, and don’t want more of them.
About the surgery: It was a “piece of cake”. It took 15 min. I drove myself home. I had it done on a Friday afternoon. I was back to work on Monday. That is it. It hurts about as much as getting a tattoo. That was it.
Novelty: Next year I plan to have a 20 year vasectomy party. Yes, I am so happy about my choice, that the novelty has not worn off in 20 years! In 2004, I attended my 20 year high school reunion. I was amazed at the number of men that did the same.
Health: Many men, my age, whom have kids, look old enough to be my father. I can stand side by side with men that are 10 years younger than I am, and people will think I am the same age or younger. It is not because I stay inside. To be honest, I am very much an outdoor person. It is because I don’t have kids.
BTW: I love my dog, and my Child-Free girlfriend!

Christmas gift for the boyfriend?
jay
I'm having trouble thinking of good gift ideas for my boyfriend. Anyone have any? He's 18 and in college.
He plays guitar but I don't know if I can afford anything for it except pics..and he has hundreds of those.
Thanks.
oh we've been together about 8 months.
Answer
Aaaw you're a good girlfriend.
GUITAR GIFTS: Gift card to guitar center, guitar stand, CDs, A chord book/guide, new guitar strap. Check out craigslist for anything large, a college guy isn't going to care if it's used.
MISC GENERIC GIFTS: watch, a nice wallet, cologne, shoes (my best friend personalizes a pair of nike shocks every year for her husband's birthday - that's the only reason I thought of it). Just be careful in this dept. You have to know your boyfriend very pretty well. Men are like raisens, no two have the same taste and they are all peculiar.
SPORTS: is he a HUGE [packers, huskers, yankees, OU etc.] fan? Buy him a good league-sponsered hat, beenie, cooler, bean bag chair (he's in college it's okay), etc. He'll love it.
FAST THINGS: Rent ATV, skidos, go snowboarding etc for a day... anything fast that you'd be willing to do with him (if it's not too cold, guys love that). You may want to double check the age limitations. For some you have to be 21.
ENTERTAINMENT: He's in college which means he's going to be poor and, at times, bored. Concert tickets, home theatre equipment (it doesn't have to be expensive... it actually shouldn't be as it's probably going into an apt/dorm. Walmart has $65 sound systems that'll be perfect-o), DVDs, video games, etc... all are just great!
Try to be creative!!! Good luck!
