Abstract: Objective: To characterize demographic differences among vasectomized, non-vasectomized, and women. Methodology: a descriptive study was conducted using a survey. Participants answered questions about age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, number of children, and vasectomy. Results: A total of 995 participants were included. Differences were determined among participants according to gender and vasectomy status. Regarding the perception of vasectomy reversal, 10,71 % of vasectomized men, 54,27 % of nonvasectomized men, and 65,21 % of women believed in its effectiveness. Conclusions: This study highlights the misinformation about the reversibility of vasectomy among non-vasectomized individuals and emphasizes the need for education about the permanent implications of vasectomy. Keywords: Vasectomy, Contraception, Fertility, Sexuality, Parenthood.
