Permanent birth control for men

A vasectomy is a simple, safe, and highly effective form of permanent birth control for men. The procedure blocks the vas deferens (the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles), preventing sperm from reaching the semen.

What this means

After a vasectomy, you can still ejaculate normally, but your semen will no longer contain sperm, making pregnancy impossible.
