Easy procedure for men, complicated for women: Contraception behaves differently
In the post written in Malayalam, Habeeb advocated vasectomy and explained the difference between male and female contraception.
"If the doctor gives you two options -one, a medical procedure that has to be done just beneath one's skin, and another - in which the abdomen is cut, which one would you choose? You would obviously go for the easier one, right?" he wrote.
Do you know?
Vasectomy done, now what? Apparently it doesn't affect anything
Habeeb Anju revealed he took the decision to undergo the surgery after the birth of his second child. He explained the process was complete within two hours, and he rode back home later. "Vasectomy won't affect erection, ejaculation or orgasm in any way," he said.
'You are the man'
'Super, this is what love is': Facebook users shower blessings
Habeeb's Facebook post dated April 4, has got over 550 shares, and 2,200 reactions.
One user commented, "Good man can think on that way. It also reflects how love, affection, care, dedication, honesty etc. he is having with his family. Maximum problem of the world can be solved in this way (sic)." Another wrote: "Super."
Well, not all heroes wear capes!
There's good news
Considering latest NFHS data, Habeeb's move is indeed laudworthy
Considering the findings of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 2015-16, Habeeb's move is praiseworthy indeed.
The NFHS found 38% of men believe contraception is a "woman's business." 20% believe using contraception makes women promiscuous.
Accordingly, the use of male contraception was less than 3%.
But two-thirds of married women demanded family planning, which means it's often women who have to adopt contraceptive methods.
