The evidence seems anecdotal so far but hard numbers should come out
soon. Is anyone finding hard numbers already?

I had a vasectomy a few years ago we both agreed it was easier safer better in every way my fiance had 4 small children and we didn't want anymore ever my family. Was complete she asked me I would do it after thinking about it italked. Too alot of people friends. Co workers and even family members they all said the same thing just do it. We made my appoointment l went in feeling a motley nervous. The doctors told me too just lay back and relax. It only took a few minutes it didn't hurt just. A little tender the next day. Sex seemed more pleasure. I'm glad I got a vasectomy

Dear GROUP,

Last year we started World Vasectomy Day to bring attention to the importance of men's role in family planning. Over 100 physicians in 25 countries did close to 1000 vasectomies and the media covered the story in over 100 countries. It is clear that engaging men in this most critical conversation resonated far and wide.

On November 7th, WVD will celebrate second year with over 200 physicians in 30 countries performing over 1000 vasectomies. But more than the numbers done are the quality of the conversations we help launch. As an organization dedicated to celebrating the role and increasing the responsibility of men in society, we are hoping you will spread the word to your members.

To learn more about what we're doing please go to our website...http://www.worldvasectomyday.org.

We would also love to hear your stories and if you could send out the attached press release, we'd be on the moon with joy! thank you and let's join forces and make a difference.

Best,

Jonathan Stack

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, NY, October 16, 2014—World Vasectomy Day is asking men whose families are complete to sign up for vasectomies on Nov. 7, 2014. The World Vasectomy Day goal is to inspire 250 doctors in 30 countries to perform 1,500 vasectomies in 24 hours.

In 2013, 100 physicians in 25 countries did 1,000 vasectomies for the first World Vasectomy Day, which was headquartered in Australia.
“In helping to shoulder responsibility for family planning, men become heroes to their partners, to their families and to our future,” says World Vasectomy Day co-founder Jonathan Stack.

World Vasectomy Day organizers are working with the world’s leading practitioners to provide free, discounted or low-cost, high-quality vasectomies, although each practitioner will set his or her own pricing. Physicians sign up on the websitehttp://worldvasectomyday.org/.

In the U.S., World Vasectomy Day will be headquartered in Florida at Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando <http://ppgo.org/> ’s new Kissimmee Health Center, 610 Oak Commons Blvd., Kissimmee, FL 34741. Urologist Doug Stein, M.D., World Vasectomy Day co-founder, is offering 25 men the chance to get their vasectomies done free of charge. Men may register on Stein’s website: www.vasweb.com <http://www.vasweb.com/> .

Our vasectomy-athon will be live-streamed on the World Vasectomy Day website <http://worldvasectomyday.org/> and will include feeds from many participating doctors, interviews with family planning leaders, and live vasectomies from around the world.

World Vasectomy Day partners include Marie Stopes International, a London-based nonprofit family planning organization operating in 37 countries and several Planned Parenthood affiliates.

Currently, about half (51%) of the 6.6 million pregnancies in the United States each year (3.4 million) are unintended. Roughly four in 10 pregnancies worldwide are unintended. [1] The average woman spends about five years pregnant, postpartum or trying to become pregnant, and three decades—more than three-quarters of her reproductive life—trying to avoid an unintended pregnancy.

Dr. Doug Stein, one of the world’s most prolific providers with over 33,000 vasectomies completed and co founder of WVD, has traveled to Kenya, Haiti and the Philippines on vasectomy missions. “My inspiration are men like George Mbogah, a 38-year old Kenyan father of two, who scraped together enough money for a 20-hour bus trip for his vasectomy,” Stein says. “George told me, ‘I don’t want my wife to suffer another painful pregnancy, nor my children to suffer the bitter taste of poverty.’ I was inspired to bring this opportunity to others.”


About World Vasectomy Day: The goal of World Vasectomy Day is to heighten awareness of and dispel myths about vasectomy, increase access to the procedure, particularly for the underserved, and to inspire more men to become engaged as equal partners with women in the global family planning conversation. The annual global observance, launched in 2013, is a project of World Vasectomy Day Services, a New York-based organization with nonprofit status pending. It was created by Jonathan Stack, an Emmy Award-winning and two-time Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker, and urologist Doug Stein, M.D., who has performed over 33,000 vasectomies. www.worldvasectomyday.org
