I had a vasectomy because I don't want any more children, I think that counts as birth control. Anything that prevents conception is contraceptive in nature.

Yeah isn't one of the only goals for a vasectomy birth control? I'd be curious to know if there are other reasons to get a vasectomy besides that.

So, sterilization is a subset of birth control methods.

Yes, what else is sterilization for if not for birth control?
