It's safe, but...: Nobody can tell you why your husband doesn't want a vasectomy except your husband. The procedure is basically safe if done by a skilled surgeon. If the two of you are in love and have a good marriage, it's often best not to try to figure out everything about him, or try to get something that, for whatever reason, he doesn't want. I'm glad you have each other.

Safer than a woman's: Vasectomy is safer, cheaper, and more effective than a woman getting her tubes blocked/tied. It will not affect a man's sex drive or ability to ejaculate b/c that's dependent on the prostate/seminal vesicles that aren't affected. It's irreversible; ppl who try have limited success. It takes 3 months to make sure the vasectomy worked and is not 100%, but very very close. No needles/scalpels needed!

It is safe: However any surgery presents emotional issues that must be addressed. Suggest you have an open honest discussion of his concerns. Family counseling with the doctor addressing his concerns
