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."

Wow, I didn't know it was impossible not to stick your dick in every passing stranger. Here I was only having sex with people I know and who have been tested like a weirdo.

As someone who's had a vasectomy: it's very hard to not stick my dick in a total stranger. That MTV advert with the skates is a more than daily occurrence, and I don't even skate. Luckily, due to my vasectomy, there are no babies.

Only six STDs so far, so could be worse.

Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those up. See if you can catch a shiny syphilis.

Edit: I will now be refering to all antibiotic resistant diseases as shiny diseases. Nobody can stop me.

ikr Here I am married 23 years and no STD's from sex. I think HellsBelle comment quite strange but I suppose if you live in the kind of world they seem to be living in then it could be an issue. Do they know that casual sexual intercourse with random people carries an amount of risk even with the protection?
