In over 30 years of practice, Dr. Errol Billinkoff rarely saw a man without kids come into his Winnipeg clinic to get a vasectomy. But since the pandemic began, he says it's become an almost daily occurrence.

And he's not alone.

"At first, I thought I was the only one who was noticing this," Billinkoff, who brought a no-scalpel vasectomy procedure to Winnipeg in the early 1990s, told CBC News in a November interview.

"But I am part of an international chat group where doctors who do vasectomies participate and the topic came up, and it's like everybody notices it."

You know what feels way worse than condoms but is just as effective? Celibacy. Don't complain about how the sex you're having isn't good enough, say that the risks to your partner aren't important enough, or tell them that they're the only one that needs to be responsible. I can't imagine the type of person that would still sleep with you with those attitudes. (If you feel like fluid bonding with a person, great, that's your choice, but some of us don't want to, have multiple partners, or can't)
