![]() ![]() Stack hopes to get World Vasectomy Day on their radar to be part of that conversation. 7 to 12, Nusa Dua also hosted the International Family Planning Conference, a gathering of major players in that field including the Bill and Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health. While any doctors anywhere can participate, this year’s event is headquartered in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia.Īs you’d expect from family planning champions, the date and location are no accident.įrom Nov. Stack was making a film about Stein’s work and while traveling with him in Kenya and was inspired to create World Vasectomy Day to celebrate the men who were taking responsibility for their fertility. A meeting with Ramon Suarez, founder and president of No Scalpel Vasectomy International, led Stein to do this work internationally. Stein has become the vasectomy services provider for 34 counties in Florida under the federal program Title X, dedicated to family planning services for low-income people. “I did general urology for 17 years and found that the biggest unmet need was vasectomies for low-income people,” says Stein. The mask is a surgical one and behind it is World Vasectomy Day co-founder, Florida urologist and vasectomy virtuoso Douglas Stein. They are on a mission! And just like a superhero, one even wears a mask. Considering that most men curl up like pangolins at the mere mention of vasectomy, it’s fascinating to talk to guys who can’t wait to discuss it. “Men on a mission to save the planet!” is how filmmaker Jonathan Stack, co-founder of World Vasectomy Day, describes this annual initiative to educate the public about vasectomies and get the conversational balls rolling about about men taking part in family planning. I kind of love the idea of men on a global scale focusing on their genitals on my birthday, even if it’s not directly on my behalf. In addition having the weirdest plans of anyone I know that day, I got the gift of finding out there’s a World Vasectomy Day, and it’s on my birthday: November 13. Plus, I thought the shaving idea was funny, like a subplot on "Modern Family." This is a guy that doesn’t get pushed around, not by chance, not by cha-cha. A man taking control for his own fertility isn’t just responsible it’s sexy. Before I fully realized what I’d done, I agreed to help him out with this endeavor, to be his scrotal Sassoon.Īnd I want to help because I’m really proud of Chow for getting a vasectomy. ![]() “I got to shave my balls,” he said on the phone. The trinity before me belongs to my friend “Chow,” who is getting a vasectomy tomorrow. Nothing makes you forget one man like having another one’s genitals staring you in the face like a sullen proboscis monkey.
