How can I make myself sterile without getting a vasectomy?

So what you’re saying is we should maintain the status quo, eh?

Eh?

…and Winston Smith begat FetusSmith who begat EmbryoSmith who begat CellSmith who begat AtomSmith who begat…

Wait a minute…

AtomSmith would be a kick-ass Band Name!

I believe scrotum refers to either the whole package, or the skin / sack that contains the balls. So it really isn’t pluralized all that much.

OK, in looking up the plural of scrotum, I see the etymology comes from the latin scrautum which they give as “quiver”. As in, “trembling,” or as in, “… of arrows”? Because both make sense to me.

Anyway.

The vasectomy is not a big deal. Yeah, it hurts a bit afterwards, for a couple of days. And you do have to shave your scrotum, which is… um… odd.

But it’s not much pain, not much of an inconvenience, and does tend to result in extra Loving Attention ™ to the aggrieved parts. :smiley:

just get a vasectomy, dude

Yeah, that seems to be the genaral concensus, Roadwalker

Snip, snip, right? If I suffer, I’ll bear it quietly and blame you and Indygrrl. :wink:

Where’s Handy when you need 'im?

Yeah, can’t even use increased prostate risk as an excuse any more…

Er. That was supposed to be increased prostate CANCER risk… :smack:
