Women always have more sexual consequences and pain then men

I really wish there were more male-centric forms of non-permanent birth control. Condoms are too unreliable for exclusive use, and vasectomies are too permanent (they are reversible, but that's expensive, has a considerable failure chance, and the failure chance increases the longer you wait), and that's literally it for male options. For every option that's suitable for couples that want to avoid kids for now but might want them later, it's the woman that has to bear the cost, maintenance, and side effects, and that's just not fair.

I liked the idea of that Vasalgel stuff that was in development like a decade ago, but I don't think that's borne out, which is bothersome.

Us men don't get that since a vasectomy is so quick and easy, apparently...

I don't have any personal experience with it, but my understanding is that the worst part of the procedure is that you can smell the vas deferens being cauterized and that's a little unnerving. You'd be under local anaesthetic, so there's little to no pain and all you really feel is a bit of a tug. The incision might hurt for a couple days, but as far as surgical procedures go it's extremely minor. You've probably had less pleasant dental cleanings.
