I have a friend who did the same at that age. 10 years later, he and his partner have decided they want kids.
I’m glad that you are happy and sincerely hope that you and your future partners remain happy with this choice for the rest of your life.
For others of your age who might be considering the same, I must say that I do generally discourage making permanent life choices before full frontal lobe development. That is a tome of your life where you’re going through an incredible amount of change, your values and what you want in life might not be the at 21 and 26.

If wrongly used, the probability of conception exceeds 20%.
A well done vasectomy reduces the probability to near 0%.
No comparison.

Its like an actual statistic - not "From what I heard"
And where are the numbers about how many people use it wrong?
And again, you don't seem to understand that even 2% is too fucking high. The objective is zero. Are you able to understand that?
