Shalom Rabbi Schulman:
Thanks for the post. My wife discussed vasectomy with me and wanted me to get it done because when we lay together without condoms (2 out of 2 times) she gets pregnant. We feel we don't have the resources for a third baby. Your post helps me with my decision (which is what I was leaning towards because I don't like pain). Also, I believe Noahides are expected to have unprotected sex unless the Noahides have one boy and one girl. We have one boy and one girl. Yeah!!

The Torah law that prohibits Gentiles from *needless* surgical sterilization of male animals is part of the prohibition of causing *unnecessary* pain or suffering to animals. The criteria by which it can be considered necessary are explained in "The Divine Code," Vol. 1, 2nd edition, Part 4, Chapter 7.
