c. "Vasectomy may have a slight effect on sexual performance."
d. "Sterilization does not affect sexual functioning."

Neither vasectomy nor tubal ligation affects sexual functioning. There is no absolute guarantee that sterilization will prevent pregnancy; however, the failure rate is very low. Tubal ligation reversals can be attempted, but the success depends on the type of procedure performed.
