Dear Abby column on vasectomies and age gaps
A reader asks if a vasectomy would affect manhood. Abby advises against it unless the man can overcome the fear of losing masculinity and suggests discussing laparoscopic tubal cautery with a doctor. Another letter from a 32-year-old divorcee fusing with a 68-year-old lover prompts Gamble: live to 50 or risk widowhood. A third note has a wife urging her husband to switch from a pediatrician to a regular doctor, with Abby noting pediatricians’ training and comfort priorities.
