One child, one vas. Second child, next vas and end of problem.
Option of complete removal of the organs in question really should be made readily available for those who are both ready and willing (with spousal counselling and consent if wedded) to entirely stop fecking around.

Now as for persuading those hot-blooded, stiff-prong'd, fun-lovin' war pimps in our midst to settle down... {;-)o<
