I was surprised to find out that in NZ they actually do even more vasectomies then in USA. Stupid kiwis, maybe it is good their genes are not carried over lol.
I never said there are better birth control alternatives. I said there are safe and reliable alternative birth control methods. Obviously vasectomy is one of the most effective, but is it safest? In my honest opinion it is not. For one night stands or casual sex you would still need to use condoms for prevention of STD. And if you in long term relationship it is not that difficult for your wife, spouse or partner to learn how to figure out your "unsafe days" fairly accurately and either use condoms during those few days or practice other ways of sex without penetration and risk of pregnancy.
P.S.
I like law about vasectomy in Indonesia, you can get it only if:
The vasectomy is not intended to be permanent;
The man is at least 50 years old;
The man's wife granted permission;
The procedure is not being carried out for "immoral purposes."
Good luck with that, lol.
