World Vasectomy Day: 15k men line up for live vent-blocking

Readership might be interested to know that the coming Friday does not just signal the end of the working week and time to cut loose, it is also World Vasectomy Day.

WVD, to use the acronym, isn’t a new thing per se, it first started in 2013 to celebrate men around the world who are “stepping up for their partners, their families and their future” by getting the snip.

But this year, the fifth event, promises to be a wild extravaganza including a 24-hour "vasectomy-athon" and surgeons waiting to carry out the 10 to 30-minute op on volunteers with todgers.

“With 1,200 providers in 50+ countries, this will be the largest make-oriented family planning event to date,” according to the WVD not-for-profit organiser.

A bewildering number of operations, some 15,000, are planned for the day, to be performed by 1,200 vasectomists out of deferens to the “gender equity of family planning”. Quite right.

Vasectomies are great. No more chance of paternity, and she won't dare fool around.
