Guys, let's talk about your balls for a sac, uh...sec.

Re: Gous, let's talk about your balls for a sac, uh...sec.

or, "welcome to the 21st century where the man takes on some responsibility too"

^ I hope the other incision is just out of sight.

FYI, I've never had an issue after mine was done and it's been 6 years. There was no way I was going to let my wife have a more invasive and potentially dangerous operation.

chronic pain, regret, depression?

And that's the way I feel. I'd sooner go under the knife for a simple outpatient procedure than have my wife go in for a hysterectomy of some other shit that could seriously fuck her shit up. y'know?

This has generally been my and the wife's line of thinking, for after we're through with having a family. Easier for me to get a snip, than her get her tubes cut. Problem is me and medical issues with certain types of common local and general anesthetics.


Heard all the old arguments "what if you remarry" (don't plan on getting divorced), "What if you want more kids" (that's why we're trying now), "Dude, why you getting your nuts cut off" (You're seriously fucking retarded aren't you?).

Heard 1...1...horror story. And that was a guy that was pressured by his wife into getting snipped when he was in his early 20s. She elected be sterlized when she was 19, so a kid wouldn't interfere with her acting ~cough,snort,cough~ "Career". When they got married she pressured him to get snip so she didn't have to worry about him having kids with another woman if he cheated on her. At the time, no biggie for him. now he's staring at the big four-oh and regretting never having kids.

Re: Gous, let's talk about your balls for a sac, uh...sec.

my dad had the operation done after my younger brother and I had complicated births, and the doc said that my mom would likely die if she had a third kid . . . so it was a potentially lifesaving operation so to speak

Re: Gous, let's talk about your balls for a sac, uh...sec.

I went under the blade 14 years ago and have never experienced a single instance of even the sleightest discomfort ever since. Plus hundreds of thousands of "field tests" prove that the procedure was 100% effective

Prepare yourself, however, while spread eagle during the procedure, for the smell of burning flesh as the smoke rises while the Dr. cauterizes your junk (at first I though someone brought in some food but nope - it was me all along ) Procedure on a Friday night... back to work on Monday.

Also, when you're ready to try this baby out for the first time, you have to wear a condom. Now this is a little scary, but hang with me. "Afterwards" you will likely find blood in the condom all swimmin' around in whatever the hell you just ejaculated. THIS IS NORMAL. And it doesn't hurt but it may shock you if you're not prepared. It's just post op bleeding that needs to get flushed out.

And there you have it. That wasn't so hard was it?

(erm... OK "hundreds of thousands" might be a sleight exaggeration, but it's pretty close )

Huh. I was actually read some literature from a doc that said that before restarting sexual activity that a man needed to masturbate a few times to restore normal functioning. I'm guessing for the same reason you suggested.

If you dropped 5 places from that number, probably closer.

Much too easy.

Hm, most -if not all- would refuse to do something like that to anyone that young, unless for a clear medical reason. Well, you could probably find someone, but I don't think a respectable physician would do that.

Whereas with something like circumcision, people sometimes get cut, regardless of whether there's a medical need or not ......

That's what I asked her too when she told me about it. Basically, as I understand it, she just had to prove to the doc in a interview/counseling session that she was making the choice cause she really didn't want kids and that she was well informed and had all the facts.

As for her hubby, he's so whipped he would have cut them off and had them bronzed for her if she asked

I never had any blood nor was I cauterized. But I do remember distinctly thinking that I'm letting someone cut me there and I'm letting him do it - without my hands tied down.

A friend did have some trouble with his when he had it done a year ago. His got infected and his doctor told him to keep washing it. I told him to dump the quack doctor and go elsewhere to get it cleared up. It took a few weeks but he was okay.

So guys who have had it done, a question. Did your sex drive actually increase afterwards too?

For women, there's another option that is less invasive than tubal ligation. It's called essure. It's a couple if little inserts that the doctor implants in the fallopian tubes which cause a plug of scar tissue to grow and block off the tube. It's as effective as tubal ligation, but only takes 35 minutes in a doctor's office and requires no incision or general anesthetic, and women can return to normal activity within a day. My wife and I have looked into it. However, we have just about decided to have one more child, which will have to be a C-section, so instead we will have the doctor tie her tubes while they are already in there.

Re: Gous, let's talk about your balls for a sac, uh...sec.

I went though the procedure about 12 years ago, had swelling as the doctor tugged on the vasa deferentia and (according to my MD) tore the body lining around the testicles in the process, therefore the swelling. I had an icepack for 3 days on my little(well not at the time!) friends and lots of ibuprofen to help the inflammation,other than that generally pain free.

Despite my complication, I recommend the proceedure..but only if you are sure you do not want any more kids..

Quite sure. She's sure too.

See, unlike some other people in the world, we're responsible. Which is not to say that people who have more that a couple of kids are irresponsible but I go by the axiom "if you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em". We are well aware of our financial status and short of winning the lottery, we don't foresee our status changing for the better by the time we're in our forties at which time the risk of certain birth defects such as Down Syndrome and mental retardation increase exponentially. I know I'd love a child with any of those things just the same as I do Olivia, I would not want to knowingly and willfully bring a life into the world whose odds of having such a condition being so high.

We'll be getting a house in 2015 and that will be a two bedroom. One for my wife and I and one for Olivia. There simply won't be any more room for another child unless we spend $20 thousand to raise the house, weather-proof the cellar, refinish it, make a corner of the basement into a bedroom but we're back to finances.

If we had sex drives why would we even be here? We have hard drives, baby

(No, I d have to say I pretty much remained the same )

I would have probably had this done already (since I definitely don't want kids) but my medical insurance doesn't cover it.

I'm not trying to be an asshole or anything, but you do realise you have to have sex first to have kids, right?

Yes.

But, hard as it may be to believe, I do want to have *sex*. I just don't want the kids that would result from that.

People keep nagging me about birth control, of course. The trouble with that is, birth control can fail. I'm just hazarding a guess that the post-vasectomy failure rate is much lower; that's why I'd be interested in having it done.

I'm sure there are plenty of married couples in which the husband has already had his tubes tied...

Please show me one of these men with Fallopian tubes.

I'm sure there's an arrested development joke somewhere in there

I doubt that I would ever get one...
While I have no stats on it, I doubt Mexican men are lining up to this procedure.

I don't understand how someone who is so afraid of everything is perfectly fine with someone snipping at your balls on the off chance that you might have sex at some undetermined point in the future. Why go through that pain until it's necessary? What about the risk of complications or lasting pain?

If you're afraid of birth control failure rates, here's a revolutionary idea. You can both use various methods of birth control at the same time to increase your safety margin!

Ask the doctor how many vasectomies they've performed on virgins before, though. That ought to be entertaining.

 

[Elmo Dukat]

Just as a quick note, vasectomies aren't always 100% effective. There are cases of men that have fathered a child after a vasectomy.

From Wiki:

Early failure rates, i.e. pregnancy within a few months after vasectomy, are below 1%, but the effectiveness of the operation and rates of complications vary with the level of experience of the surgeon performing the operation and the surgical technique used.
Although late failure, i.e. pregnancy after recanalization of the vasa deferentia, is very rare, it has been documented.[10]

I don't think Babaganoosh made a post about a serious and permanent operation in order for it and his sexual history to become joke fodder for you.

Interesting. So, do you still enjoy water bombing random passerby on their way to work from your roof? Because I'm sure those people didn't decide to walk near your house to become prank fodder for you.

I find humor in the absurd and tend to use humor to make my point. Choosing to get a "serious and permanent operation" on a very delicate part of your body; an operation that not infrequently has complications like chronic pain, all on the off-chance that you might have sex some day, and are afraid of the failure rate of very simple and non-permanent birth control alternatives, is absurd.

Babaganoosh has a tendency to respond without thinking things through sometimes, and by pointing out the absurdity of the situation my goal is to try and make him understand how unnecessary it is for him to get a vasectomy at this point in time, just as I did in the two paragraphs before that you omitted where I answered him more seriously.

His "sexual history" was brought up by both himself and another poster, my referencing it was simply a statement of fact, not making fun of him being a virgin.

Thanks.
