Getting snipped is a huge commitment. It can be reversed in some cases, but it is not something to take lightly, and is certainly not a viable form of birth control for a single man. What if you eventually want to have children? It should be compared to a woman having her tubes tied. The operations are different but the result is the same. It's not something you'd get for the weekend.

Abstinence and engaging in reproductive sex are also poor options. These do not address the real issue, but avoid it entirely. They only remove penetrative sex, which highlights what Erock was saying. When it comes to pregnancy, men have no control at all. The best they can hope for is influencing the decision.
