Why I Got A Vasectomy When I Was 24

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Hello, maniacs!! So I realize this isn’t a typical Killbot video. Not exactly the subject matter I usually discuss. However, with years of perspective and with everything going on in the United States concerning reproductive rights, I thought maybe this would resonate with people in more ways than one. Maybe it could offer comfort to those thinking of having this done themselves. Also, men typically don’t talk about this type of stuff, so I want to be the antithesis to that and offer a supportive place to do so. Don’t worry, music stuff will be coming up after this. Thank you for watching!!

[@vincentmomont7538]

It’s ok to talk about something else because then it isn’t just the same thing all the time but music is always fun so it never gets boring but you get my point

[@sayyanhmuong737]

I like this post and video team no kids myself it's not for me hmm I might get a vasectomy myself anyway good content.

[@clipper5985]

Thank you for this video I am 18 and considering getting the snip due to multiple scares I’ve had previous and realized if I want the peace of mine getting the snip is the way to go for me this video is easing me more into getting the surgery done soon!

@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack ahh my favorite topic vasectomy

[@metamorphicblood]

I can completely relate. I remember being told at a very young age “You’ll have kids someday”, and thinking “Why? Does every person have to?” That never changed. I’ve never, ever had any desire to reproduce. I was an only child, I’m the end of my bloodline, so what? I care very much about children, but I just don’t really like them and can’t force myself to. I’ve always taken precautions, and at this point I’m at the age that my fertility is probably dropping off (though I take pretty good care of my health so my… um… other functions are alive and well, not trying to go TMI), but I still want a vasectomy to make sure there is no risk at all.

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Better to be safe than sorry

[@zlpk010]

I'm 13, luckily, I was born into a family who wanted (as far as i know) wanted children. I am also very lucky to be a child of very kind parents, who raise me how I think parents should, the main rule? respect people. as far as I know for my future, I have no clue. all I know is I defiently wanna be in a band sometime. "when you have children", who the hell can tell you "when"? It's your life, your decision. random i know but its awesome to see so many killbot videos in a week! thank you! :)

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Thanks for your insight!

[@Sinxytlol3]

im 14 you seem fucking awesome man

[@DarkLxrd]

Good topic. I will say something about it from my perspective as a parent. I am 40 years old and have 2 small children, a 5-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter. When I was a teenager, I had many hobbies: computer games, music (listening and composing), collecting audio CDs, books, writing novels and short stories and many others. When my then longtime ex-girlfriend asked me to have a baby, I freaked out and backed out. With this decision, I lost a long-term relationship, but I was able to continue doing what I love. My hobbies. And it was the right decision because she wasn't the one. In addition, I fully focused on work and hobbies, created my KZbin channel and met my wife, with whom I have two children. This time the children did not come forced, but naturally. I knew my wife was the one. And maybe it also helped that I had children until I was 35 years old and dedicated my youth to my hobbies. Even now, I still do most of my hobbies, as well as the KZbin channel, but with the children there is not so much time for that. But still, every second with children is priceless. It's about making the right compromises in life. Nevertheless, I am now thinking about a vasectomy so that my wife does not use birth control unnecessarily.

[@Daisy-pz7lx]

I'm at the 4:20 mark and you hit it right on the nail, my mom constantly talks about how she wishes me and my sibling were young because she feels like she has no purpose besides raising us, I fucking hate this because I think about when I was young and I remember being suicidal and not understanding why that was a problem as well as just shitty things happened. Another one of her reasons is that 'you guys were so cute' which kinda sucks because I already have no self esteem and constantly being reminded that I use to be so much cuter doesn't help in the slightest.

[@leighluvsrats]

Personally even if I wanted kids I would adopt. Why bring another life into the world when you could improve another one. I feel like a lot of reasons people don't adopt is selfishness and the narcissism of wanting to see them selves in their kid rather than seeing their kids as their own person

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Plenty of kids in the foster care system who are perfectly healthy

[@roberth4395]

Because the moment you have kids your biochemistry change. If you never have biological children you will never fully experience life. I don't want to go into details, but in case of a man your testosterone level drops to some degree, and your reflexes can go into the superhuman range when it comes to protecting your children. I once saw it with my own eyes a father moving like 8 meters in a second punching a tile away from the head of his son that could have end him. You will also start to become more of a protector who looks out for other kids as well. Unless the parent is mentally ill like someone whith narcissitic personality disorder, having your own kids changes you for the better and it will motivate you to improve so you can provide for your kids. Obviously alcohol, drugs and mental illneses would interfere with this, but healthy men do change after they have a biological kid. The world needs more humans, there will be a huge population collapse soon dou to a fool spreading the misinformation that the planet cannot take more humans which was debunked a long time ago.

[@СтефанЂукић-с7л]

Maybe it’s different in US, here in Serbia ofc i would adopt if I can’t have my own, but if i can have my own blood im gonna have it

[@antonioreconquistador]

Thats also narcissistic, having a savior complex about the kid youre adopting or stepfather/mothering.

The foster/adoption system is very bad. Most foster families try to foster/adopt for literal slave labor, or a check. But it's also a bad system for that rare couple that legimately wants a kid to cherish and love. Foster system gives parents lots, and lots of gremlins..... 2ndly, adoption system is ridiculously long and full of stress. It quite literally takes less time for a mother to grow a baby in their stomach than adopt a kid.

[@jasper_mehringer]

this was a difficult subject to broach with my parents since I'm the last male of my name, and to a degree, I felt like denying the continuation of the familial lineage was an exilable act. I also once told a close friend that I believed it to be a selfish decision, but he explained that it was really the opposite. In actuality, it is more selfish to have a child when you know from the onset that your full attention and effort will at no point be made available to the child. the politics surrounding reproductive rights are certainly digressing, especially in the american south. i think at some point I will tread this same path and get the snip.

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

I’m probably in the minority where I feel like the concepts of “lineage” and “family name” are taken way too seriously by a lot of people. Individually, what matters is what’ll make you happy. Don’t stop looking

People really have to think about it (a few years) before putting someone new on this planet .

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Absolutely. This video was just my personal musings on the subject. You all seem like happy people and I’m glad about that :)

[@hoeyramone]

finally someone with a similar opinion on the matter. i'm a teen and its rough enough for me, i would NEVER force this upon anyone else and also i am not good with people in general. i tend to start screaming when i get angry and i am so unstable and have always been so, sometimes i tend to even get violent or have the thought of becoming violent, its not just a teenage thing i think. i'm probably neurodivergent too. plus being born with a uterus makes people think that i'll regret saying that i dont want em and that children will magically turn me happy. it wont. if i really want to hang out with kids or babies i can just hang out with my extended family or just get an animal, i've taken care of horses before and thats well and enough for me, plus horses last mostly for like 35 years if you raise them from when they're foals n all, and if you just cant do it anymore you can sell it or let someone else take care of it. ANYWAYS, great video. keep it up!

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Thank you! See, and I live in NC, so I know what it entails to take care of horses and livestock. That’s difficult enough, let alone a child that you have to talk to and really commit to. I’m just trying to remind people that when you have kids, you’re not signing up to get a pet goldfish.

This is an ideology I’ve agreed with ever since I realized nobody was ever going to actually force me to get married and have kids. The thought of giving birth is genuinely horrifying to me. I haven’t had any surgeries since I’m female (wayyy more invasive for us lol) and gay anyways, but regardless it’s always cool to see people talk about this stuff. Completely agree with everything that was said in this video, and I heavily dislike the notion that wanting to improve your own quality of life is selfish at all.

[@BlueArcStreaming]

Even as the last to arrive in my somewhat large family (like, I probably wasn't necessary for anyone's fulfillment) I have seen to it I don't have offspring; it's a selfish act, it's more burden on the environment, another consumer, and it's expensive. You're free to travel, take on creative projects, do what you desire etcetera when you're free of having to dedicate huge amounts of energy and resources over years and years to someone else or multiple elses. Kudos to you and anyone bringing this subject out. People should explain why they need or want to have children - it's a miserable, crowded and polluted place too!

[@evillotto]

I relate to everything you said about this video. Being on the autism spectrum, incessant loud noises from children drive me nuts (especially when the parents are ignoring it). Hell, even adults drive me nuts as well. The "you'll change your mind one day" or the "you were a kid once" as well as the "who's going to take of you when you're old" responses are among the most annoying things you can say to childless and/or childfree people. I don't like or trust people in general, so I'd prefer to have an animal companion instead. I'd love to have snakes or turtles or geckos as pets because they won't abuse my senses, won't require much from me to take care of them, and will give me plenty of personal space whenever I need it.

Nice video, now I respect you even more! I would never want to have biological children due to my antinatalist and VHEMT views and would want to get sterilized but I have to still wait 10 years for it because I have to be 30 in my country to get it. I'd like to adopt children in the future though if I'm at a position where I can afford raising kids without giving up my interests that require money (basically buying and collecting stuff). But in a more realistic sense, I'll probably be childfree because finding potential partners is easier with that requirement (explaining my views would be too complicated anyways).

[@arjunmenon1796]

Wasn't interested in the video at first, but I'm glad I watched it. I agree with what you said, and this was a fun video to watch. Id be interested in seeing other videos about your life, like your job, how you handled moving out, etc.

[@owenc.0]

No one I mean no one should feel fucking ashamed for getting a vasectomy or Salpingectomy at all! It is so bs people trying make them feel should they feel regret or shaming afterwards or before

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

I agree, that’s why I posted this

[@MeMes-qr8zh]

Word for word sentence for sentence I agree with you 1000% I'm a 19 year old guy that doesn't want kids under any circumstance and just want to be with my partner till the day I die nothing wrong with that in my opinion. And planning on getting the snip when I'm 20 . Amazing video btw kill bot

[@Pineappleparty]

I feel kinda the same about having kids, though I'm still on the fence in a way. I have some mental problems that for one, I don't really fel like passing on, and two, I feel they wouild make me feel as though I'm not good enough as a parent, plus I don't do very good under stress, and having a kid would be 24/7 stress, I'm good thanks. I nneed less stress in life, not more. I'm fine being an uncle.

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

You know where your priorities are. That’s good

[@elvenqueenofmetal696]

After my crappy home life, I can't see myself having kids. Why do I need to have a kid to heal my inner child? I can just give myself what I never had. My "family" is my boyfriend, me, and my hamster. I'd rather just be a fairy godmother and be there for other people's kids. I'd rather not have kids of my own.

Hey there! :) I had a hamster when I was a kid. It bit me a lot.

I’m a young teenager, I can say confidently that I never want kids. Aside from the fact that they annoy the absolute hell out of me, I don’t take very good care of myself, why would I have a child knowing that I couldn’t take care of them. I wouldn’t bring a child into this world knowing they’d be neglected, that’s worse than just not having one all together.

Speaking of kids when you live in Japan when men start to learn how to be professional to your job they dont find time for relationships but they decide when they turn 40 sometimes. You need to make your decision as wise as possible cause nobody wants to make famliy with full of pressure and force. The force for your family goals you have to do it on your own instead commended by others. They keep asking when i will marry is like they want to upgrade their fantasy world in my opinion to see me with kids and wife that i dont have one and know one. I hate people telling me what to do

[@flemingmv1]

I tried to get my tubes tied when I was 42, I had my daughter and almost died having her. I was divorced and not seeing anyone. I had an iud with the hormones but didn’t want to deal with that. No go doctor said you may change your mind!, BS I still argued, well, your next man may want one, nope not going to do it! Still no from the doctor. Best I got was a copper iud, no hormones lasts 10 years, now I have a boyfriend, guess what he doesn’t want any kids ( my daughter is 25 now). So when I get this iud out, no more birthday control. Thankful for menopause. I support you 100%. I might suggest that to my much younger other half.

[@vulturepig]

@@electroman1996 my thoughts exactly😂🤘

[@Doomguysdeadbunny]

Well I agree with most of these points, but I want kids for a number of reasons, for example the reason you’re alive today is because for millions of years people had to have kids and events had to occur, and as the only child in my life I’m the only one to continue that bloodline, and I also want to adopt a child but I don’t know if I’ll be able to give them a good life

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

If that’s what you want, good luck with it!

If you think children are a “be kept out of nursing homes” card then I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sale you. Nearly every elderly person in nursing homes has children.

[@WOOLLEYCO]

Personally, I like the idea of being a Dad whether it’s to biological or adopted children doesn’t really bother me but the fact people are gonna get mad at you for not wanting kids that’s just hilarious because you’re better off not having kids then a kid you don’t want like it’s basic math lol

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

Hey good luck to you on that! :)

[@winterunterseher8937]

Honestly same, I've never seen the appeal either personally. Like good for you if want to have some that's fine (though even then I'd probably only do one or two, none of this 6 to 10 craziness that some do just why?!), but I guess its just not for me. Havent gotten one yet, but I definitely want to at some point. Kids are better when they're other people's kids or the idea is better than the reality, and even then not always (like when youre at the supermarket haha, you kniw what I mean). Plus I dont think I'd make a good parent (or even partner really when I think about it; I'm working on it, but with no experience with romantic relationships or dating whatsoever and going through a lot self-discovery recently with struggles I've had my whole life really when it comes things like my body/gender dysphoria, or sexuality (like I dont think I'm aromantic, but am I asexual or just dealing with a lot repression, guilt, shame, and fear from my childhood? Eroto/philophobia somewhat for sure, but who much who knows, either way I definitely look forward to seeing a therapist about these deep rooted complicated feelings if I learn how and where to find one), but either way I wouldn't want to force someone else to put up with my unresolved issues or be a burden you know?). When it comes down to it though I'd rather regret not doing it and wish I had, then regret doing it and wish I hadn't. Better safe than sorry I feel when you're undecided or strong decided against it to err on the side of a negative choice, then do it anyway and wish you hadn't later. Best wishes

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

I think people need to realize that when they say they want children, they’re not asking for a pet goldfish. This is something that’s going to require almost constant attention

[@winterunterseher8937]

@@KillbotAndGorGorAttack Doing it right would almost have to require constant attention right? At least for me if I wanted to be a parent, I'd want to be either a good one that was present and attentive or not one at all, instead of one that was distant or absent, I just dont think I could be or would be a good one--something I feel is more responsible than selfish actually. Another reason I have is ome I don't think I've heard anyone else give for not wanting kids, but I don't like to gamble with my future either as you pointed out, either literally, or also in terms of probability, since whoever I'd choose to have kids, I'm also excluding anyone I could have chosen instead (and how to decide whose best, I'd rather decide none than pick one), and I can't decide which cell will make it to be the one either--what about all the other cells that never made it just so I could be here if you see what I mean, would they have been better instead? So for me I absolutely do not want to play the probability numbers game with almost infinite alternate futures and hope it turns out ok. Plus time is a very precious thing, and if this is the one and only we shot we get as I suspect, then I want to take it more seriously and not waste my time you know? Because it ends, it only makes it more precious for me, not less (and in a way it gives it its meaning because it ends). Something expressed very well in Ephemeral by Insomnium, or in the closing track of that album Shadows of the Dying Sun 🤘

[@SaveTheHumans4Later]

Around 7:45 you stray a little towards eugenics suggesting people with the possibility of passing on a medical condition to their kids shouldn't have kids. I volunteer at a summer camp for kids with muscular dystrophy. Those kids don't have an easy life but I've never seen kids so present, in the moment and appreciative of everything. I never get the impression they regret life. You should volunteer at a camp next summer. You can do it, it's not like you don't travel regularly. Every additional volunteer means one more kid gets to go to camp. Make a video about it to encourage others. Rock on!

[@KillbotAndGorGorAttack]

That’s a noble thing you do. All I’m saying is if you’re suffering a LOT, why pass that on? I was talking to someone recently who has Crohn’s disease, her husband also has Crohn’s. They have kids, and the kids are already having a lot of problems. This couple, mind you, spend months in the hospital sometimes, lost all their teeth, have to walk with canes… I just feel like having kids with that kind of problem is just setting them up for needless, you know what I mean?

[@scrapjack6714]

There is absolutely nothing similar between eugenics, which was a process that involved various governments forcing people to be sterilized for a variety of reasons, not all of which had anything to do with people’s health (it was often about skin color, or being too short, etc), and people actively deciding and discussing whether they want to pass on whatever they feel would be a negative trait to pass on.
