Keith Laue is a 23-year-old content creator from Austin, Texas who recently went viral for sharing the details of his vasectomy procedure on TikTok.

For those who don't know, a vasectomy is a surgical procedure for those with male reproductive systems that cuts the supply of sperm to semen. Doctors accomplish this by cutting and sealing the tubes that carry sperm. During the procedure, doctors make a small incision in the scrotum and locate the vas deferens, aka the tubes that carry sperm from the epididymis to the urethra. From there, the doctor pulls the vas deferens out of the scrotum, gives them a little snip-snip, seals the ends, then returns them to the scrotum and stitches everything back up. Voilà!
According to Mayo Clinic, vasectomies are nearly 100% effective at preventing pregnancy and have a low risk of complications or side effects. They're also reversible, although reversing a vasectomy doesn't guarantee the ability to conceive.

In Keith's video — which currently has over 3 million views — he breaks down his personal experience getting a vasectomy, including before, after, and during the procedure. First, he had a phone consultation that was "super easy" where they answered any questions he had and set up his appointment for a few weeks following the call.
On the big day, he was given Valium by the clinic to help calm any anxiety he might have. During the vasectomy, he received local anesthesia and was awake for the entire procedure, "but it only lasted 10–15 minutes, so it wasn't that bad."
Following his vasectomy, Keith says he didn't work out for about a week. For the first three days, he took ibuprofen, iced the area, and "didn't really move too much," but after that he was basically back to normal and "good to go."
"Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, I'm more confident in this decision than ever, and I think that, as men, it's time for us to support women and support our weight of birth control," he concludes in the video.
Keith received thousands of comments on his video. Many people praised him for his decision and thanked him for taking on something most men don't even think about.

Lots of people also pointed out just how...*cushy* getting a vasectomy sounds compared to the birth control procedures people with uteruses have to undergo instead. For example, Keith didn't seem to deal with any pushback or disrespectful, condescending questions like those who decide to pursue tubal ligation or a hysterectomy often do.

Also, how about the fact that Keith was given Valium to keep him calm before the procedure AND given local anesthetic for the area so he wouldn't feel any pain during his vasectomy? Pretty different from the treatment you get with an IUD insertion...

In the US, there's currently no standard protocol for pain management with IUD treatments, and physicians aren't required to discuss pain management options with their patients.
BuzzFeed reached out to Keith, who gave more details on why he ultimately decided to pursue a vasectomy: "We live in Texas, where women’s healthcare has been threatened for the past year. My partner had been on birth control since she was 13, tried a bunch of different kinds, and had a range of pretty bad side effects with each one."
Another big reason for Keith was the direct attack on reproductive rights that's happening in the United States right now. On June 24, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion and opening the door for states to pass inhumane laws criminalizing reproductive care.

"After the heartbeat bill got passed in Texas, and then the Supreme Court picked up Roe v. Wade, my partner started talking to me about getting a vasectomy, and I had to think about it for a couple of months. I don’t think any guy enjoys thinking about getting his balls cut, but it seemed to be the easiest long-term option for birth control."
"Some additional reasons were that we already have a daughter, and if we're in a place to have more kids, we will happily foster. I have insurance and my partner does not. It's much harder for my partner to get her tubes tied or to get an IUD than it is for me to get a vasectomy. The Supreme Court has made women’s healthcare unsafe and unreliable, and it's better for my partner to not be anxious about it."
Keith told BuzzFeed that his vasectomy cost $600, but his insurance covered a portion of it because it's considered preventative care. He paid $90 out of pocket, and the "kids" conversation was pretty simple. "They asked if I was married, and if I had kids. I said yes I had kids. He asked if I wanted more, and I said no. That was pretty much it."

Keith decided to share his story on TikTok so others could get the full scope of how vasectomies work from someone with firsthand experience. "Before I got the procedure, I was nervous because I did not know what to expect, and one of the biggest things that brought me comfort was talking to other men who had vasectomies. I made the video to 1) talk about how men can step up to support their partners through birth control, and 2) show that the process is not that scary and is pretty simple for men, especially compared to some of the things women have to go through."
"Especially in light of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, men have the privilege of choice, so we have a responsibility to make choices that support women."
When asked to elaborate on why he believes men should take on more responsibility when it comes to birth control, Keith responded, "In the Roe v. Wade decision, it was implied that there are other cases they want to rule on that have many women worried. My girlfriend has often seen videos of elected officials arguing that an ectopic pregnancy should be re-implanted, which is literally not medically viable. She sees how little people understand women’s healthcare, and how eager politicians are to regulate something they don’t understand."

He continued, "Instead of leaving her to worry about her access to birth control being taken away, or trying for years to get a tubal ligation and bearing all the responsibility for birth control in our relationship (which she has already done for many years), I think it's time that men be more willing to make a commitment to supporting their partners by taking on that responsibility."
And for anyone out there who's feeling hesitant about getting a vasectomy, or anyone who STILL thinks birth control is exclusive to those with uteruses, Keith had this to say: "It takes two to tango. Women cannot get pregnant without sperm. So if you're the supplier of sperm in the relationship, you have a responsibility to do your part to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Also, nothing ruins the saucy mood quite like having to worry about an unwanted pregnancy. Having anxiety-free, safe sex is the best!"

throw in a mandatory womb removal
3 strike system for both sexes.

Women
  1. Mandatory contraceptive education
  2. Mandatory implanted contraceptive
  3. Sterilization
Men
  1. Vasectomy of one nut
  2. Vasectomy of the other nut
  3. WTF you couldn't even wait for all the sperm to flush out before raw dogging it again? Bye bye penis.

He is 23. Like 23 year old female thots that sterilize themselves, he is likely to regret this down the road when he actually does meet the right woman. Vasectomy reversals are extremely iffy and best within the first 2-5 years. After that, men seem to develop antibodies to their own sperm and plus they are simply older. It should be considered permanent and no joke.
 
Men getting fucking surgery because whammen can't be bothered to take a pill or use an IUD is some feminist shitlib talking point/"issue." When they bring it up, they're just social signaling to each other and looking to yell at men who don't want to look like old lesbians post-snip. Do not engage.

I don't think that is just it. How many incel groups demand it because you can't trust women regardless, plus kids are disgusting, will drain you of your life force, you will be nothing with them, might as well neck yourself.
 
I find it funny that this article refers to women as "people with uteruses" but men as just "men."
Many attribute this ridiculous disparity to sexism. That may be so, but my hunch is that there are more antiseptic, technical anatomy terms for women's parts that are nonetheless familiar to barely literate NPCs. "Penis" is a tee-hee word. "Uterus" is not. And dumbasses don't know what, say, an epididymis is.
 
i always thought Vasectomy was stupid. you never know how you feel about having kids 10-20 years in the future.
Some people do, but lord help us they do not make up the majority of people doing this shit.

Reverse vasectomy is $20-25k. That's twenty times more than vasectomy itself.
That's how they getcha!

I don't really like how nonchalant people are about serious surgical procedures. Yes a tubal is more invasive but it's all sterilizing surgery and the woman who want hysterectomies bc of anxiety over abortion laws are putting their health at risk. You need the hormones in your ovaries to have a healthy brain and bones before menopause.
If you're gonna do it, don't be a pussy. Full bilateral salpingectomy.
Half-assed and easy is how we got that whole Essure fiasco.

After that, men seem to develop antibodies to their own sperm
Because of the whole “immunologically privileged area” thing? Like how your immune system can eat your eyes if they get poked the right way?
 
I love how women are complaining how unfair it is that their doctor will push back on them getting their tubes tied, but the guys doctor is ‘vasectomy, sure, let’s get started!’

Between the dude and the chick, the chick is 1000% more likely to go full Karen and sue after a tubal ligation claiming she ‘wasn’t fully informed by her doctor’.
 
Besides obviously beeing a soy faggot and toxoplasmosis infected from his skunk cat, it can't be just population control. The majority of testosterone is produced in the testicles and I bet after the castration it's a serve negative influence on the production. So at he end it's not just genocide, it's the further feminizing of men. But then again if you attention whore yourself on social media it's questionable how much testosterone you got from the getgo.
 
I went to his IG page earlier and this is the fine filly he's decided to get the chop for - a chunky looking 2/10 who looks 40 going on 20.

And to the surprise of nobody, they have a kid already. I wonder if it's to another man and I pray to God they aren't feeding her on some bullshit 100% vegan diet.

EDIT: Also doing some more quick digging on his gf's instagram it turns out she did a TedX talk about being a 20 year old college student and pregnant. That's pretty fucking rich to see her espouse a ton of pro abortion claptrap when her herself did the pro life thing and didn't vacuum out her fetus.

Dude's lucky he looks like a prettyboy. If he looked like a soyboy stereotype he would have been exposed as a child groomer on discord already.
