It is also hard for a guy to get a vasectomy. And it doesn't matter how old you are, the bingoes still come a-flying at you!
Catdaddy and I got married in 2000, when I was 40 and he was 48. Shortly thereafter, we had a serious discussion about sterilization, and we decided that he'd be the one to go for the snip. So he went to his doctor to get a referral to a urologist to do it.
Well, this doctor is a younger guy, and an uber-breeder. He was forever cancelling appointments because of something to do with his sprogs...either his wife was popping out a new one, or one of them was sick...it went on and on.
So, at first, he refused to give the referral, because EVERYONE wants sprogs, and we might change our minds. We were newlyweds, after all, so we might want a loaf a few years down the road. Jeebus...Catdaddy was almost 50 years old at the time...what SANE person would WANT to sprog at that age, and be stuck with teenagers when it was time to retire? And if we don't want to sprog now, at our ages, we sure as hell won't want to do it when we are even older!
This is the number one reason why I hate geezerbreeders and IVF. It means that no matter how old we get, the bingoes never end.
Anyhoo, we pushed the issue, and finally got the referral. We needed the referral because that's the only way that the insurance would pay for it.
But the funny thing was that once Catdaddy got to go and see the urologist, he got NO bingoes at all. The doc just asked him if he understood that this was permanent, Catdaddy said, *well I sure as hell HOPE so!*, and signed papers to that effect. He then made the appointment for the snip, it was done, and that was that.
If it was this hard for a 48 year old man to get a referral for a vasectomy, I'd hate to thing about how bad it must be for women who want tubals. The bingoing for that is even worse...all women want and LUUUURVE baybees, you know! You'll change your mind. What if you meet a mayun who wants kyds?
It never ends.
