They argue that contraception should not be solely a woman's responsibility.
Traditionally, women have taken on most of the burden of contraception using methods such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptives.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about two-thirds of the world's IUD users live in China.
Experts warn that the method poses potential health risks such as irregular menstruation, uterine bleeding, and abdominal pain.
In men, on the other hand, vasectomy is a surgical operation that cuts or seals the tube carrying sperm from the testis and prevents it from mixing with semen.
Although it is an effective contraceptive method that does not affect sexual or other physiological functions, the actual number of surgeries is small due to the misunderstanding that 'Energy' will weaken.
According to China's Health and Family Planning Statistical Yearbook, there were a total of 14.7 million contraceptive operations nationwide in 2020, of which only 2,626 were male vasectomy operations.
In the meantime, as gender equality has gained attention, many young Chinese men have chosen vasectomy and are sharing their stories on social media platforms.
Chinese media also reported that vasectomy is now considered a sign of 'new good man'.
Chen, 29, who underwent vasectomy at a hospital in Shanghai, said the procedure cost about 1,900 yuan (about 360,000 won), but he paid only 48 yuan (about 10,000 won) after being covered by insurance.
Another 26-year-old man who had vasectomy in March posted on social media "Love my girlfriend. The vasectomy time is shorter and less detrimental to the body compared to women."
Wang, 30, said "Being a child is a huge burden on women. I also don't have the confidence to be a good father. We can consider adopting a child if our financial situation allows it in the future."
Men's vasectomy has become a hot topic online.
One netizen gives a thumbs up to her boyfriend and husband undergoing sperm surgery. They are brave and show respect for women." On the other hand, others "It is recommended to keep sperm at least before undergoing vasectomy. In case you regret it later and want a child..."
