I'm really surprised the op's friend got one at 25, that's the youngest i've ever heard of. He must have plagued his doctor about his mental state of mind,he must have told him he was suicidal or something to that effect.

I've been considering it for the past 10 years if not more, and I'm certain I don't want children. it seems stupid to have a worry like that hanging over you iwth a missed period when it could easily enough be taken care of.

I think the problem is, so many people get it done when they think they are fully sure they don't want any more kids only to find a few years later, their relationship has finished and they are with someone new who they want to have kids with. I've got a friend of mine she's 32 years of age with only 1 child and under no circumstancess will they tie her tubes til she's 35.
