Major surgery, frequently an inpatient procedure with anesthesia and associated risks, not to mention at least 6 weeks of recovery.
@HippieChick58 - I’m ok with that... That way YOU are protected instead of asking the man to protect you!
@Ungod Real sweet of you.
@Byrdsfan Not my first rodeo 
However, most of the comments from guys were glad they had it done, so I was very pleased with that.
@HippieChick58 If you don’t want kids, YOU get yourself fixed! That’s taking responsibility...
@Ungod If you are spilling your seed, make sure you don't spill on fertile ground. If you do you will have to deal with repercussions. Personally, I controlled my fertility and got pregnant only when I wanted to. Sadly many women are not so careful. So if you don't want progeny control your seed.
@HippieChick58 also a lifetime of drugs ti take after that surgery. Vasectomies carry no such Risk or aftereffects. Men just expect women to.take care of everything and can't be assed to be responsible for any part of living or relationships.
From the article:
"The following day, I was feeling so back to normal that I disregarded my instructions to refrain from intercourse for a few days and had sex just 36 hours post-procedure."
This guy likes to live on the edge. There's a reason why there's a waiting period. There are still sperm in your semen (risking pregnancy, probably the reason you got the procedure) and you can reopen the wound (risking infection).

I had a vasectomy years ago after my son was born and I didn't want to father any more children. Obviously it is not suitable for younger men yet to have children but should be promoted more by the NHS. I watched a news item recently about a couple who are just about to have their 21st child. and all I could think was "how bloody selfish".

@OwlInASack pffft. I had it done as soon as my Doctors would let me( after 35 and two kids). Would have had it done at 20 if I could. Doctors won't let you unless you already have 3 kids or are past 35. Pisses me right off tbh. I knew as a teen I wouldn't be a good parent and while I try I am not remotely an ideal mother.
Abstinence is cheaper, easier, and a hell of a lot less popular.

Remi:
But way less fun. Aaaaaand unrealistic to ask of an adult IMO
Cheaper, maybe, but easier? I think many people would disagree with you.
Free on the NHS and quick and easy.

@Ungod
Although my response wasn't intended as a suggestion to anyone, the question the OP asked was "What's wrong with vasectomies?" The article goes on to point out that they are a cheap and easy, not to mention effective form of birth control.
To that I was just pointing out that there is a cheaper and easier way, and it only resulted in pregnancy once
