A vasectomy to most men is a no-no. Specially after a man has given life to several children and is comfortable with his family size. He figures he’s being a good dad to the children he already has, so why not accept this operation as his reproductive finale? With a simple and inexpensive outpatient surgery being advertised on gigantic billboards, broadsheets and on the Internet, it’s easy to be convinced that it’s time to get clipped and move on.
In some parts of the Philippines, several gender-biased organizations/cooperative are preying on unschooled/uneducated men, encouraging them to undergo vasectomy for safe motherhood without presenting other choices for other family planning methods [CMEN, MISMO in cooperation with UNFPA].
In some relationships the desire for the vasectomy reveals the underlying struggle between the male and the female for dominance in the marriage. Sometimes it is the women who make their husband get fixed. She tells him, “I had the pain of having the babies; now you’re going to be the one who gets fixed!” or "No vasectomy, no sex". The men submit, often reluctantly. Her dominance and his submission are a statement of her ultimate control , but not for the real TIGASIN of this world, they are not letting anyone mess with their manhood! They tell their wives, “If you do not want to get pregnant you will have to figure out something for you because I am NEVER getting clipped!”
God gave the man the innate desire to achieve greatness! Men are motivated by a deep need to imprint themselves and struggle to leave their mark. This is why they build buildings/structures and compete in business, and sports, fight in wars, and long for respect. This is why male animals leave their scent and fight the other male to the death. A male must stake out his territory. This is why getting fixed is detrimental for real men. It is not just a little snip; it is the severing of a gift and it disconnects the man from the emotional power God gave him to achieve true greatness.
