My guess is that somebody must have gotten sued over it at some point
[QUOTE=PearishBA;5701766]Not married but in an LTR so I try to stick to the hobby for uncomplicated side action, and the motivation to continuing wrapping for that is easy. But there have been some situationships with ladies that are better quality than bar floosies. That's where it gets tempting, because the disease risk is still there but alot lower. Found the spousal consent thing surprising and kinda funny, given the my-body-my-choice times we live in. Couldn't find any actual legislation requiring it though, just seems to be paperwork some doctors choose to require if they learn the patient is married.

Consent by partner.
It is not a legal requirement to involve both partners in the decision-making and consent process. There is a widespread misconception that a wife must consent to her husband undergoing vasectomy. If, against a man's wishes, his wife is informed of and asked to consent to her husband's vasectomy, this can be regarded as a breach of medical confidentiality and an infringement of an individual's right to self-determination (I. E. Autonomy).
Nevertheless, it is good practice to involve both partners if the male agrees.[/QUOTE]And it was a boilerplate cya thing. I would say if I were doing it and a doc asked me that, I would tell said doc to do something unnatural to himself.
