Back in the stirrups
June 20th, 2007Permanent sterilisation seemed a little extreme. I am speaking solely from personal opinion as I never dared speak of it to my husband. Although the simpler procedure, it seems it is emasculating for a man to get ‘the snip’. A woman looks after contraception from approximately the age of 15, endures pregnancy and childbirth and, once that is over, has to repeat the cycle. For a woman, sterilisation is a more complex procedure, one that carries with it serious issues of violation to one’s femininity. Would I feel as much of a sexual being if I no longer had my reproductive organs?
So I opted for extreme body piercing.
As soon as it was medically viable, I replaced my ability to fall pregnant with a state-of-the-art Mirena cervical coil.
