I thought vasectomies were supposed to be fairly painless

My feeling exactly!

Been in a monagomous relationship 7 years, so I don’t need that either.

Shhhh… Don’t tell everyone.

One of the unwritten laws of Manness is to never tell anyone who hasn’t has a vasectomy just how much it fucking hurt.

Mine went pretty well, there was the uncomfortable part where the doc taped my junk to my stomach and touched up my shave job while his cute young nurse took a couple of polaroids. Then the stick, which was quite honestly like having someone stand on my balls and twist around a few times. After that kicked in (and I’d like to reiterate the word kicked), things went well. The doc kept having to tell me to lie back because I kept trying to sit up and watch (Hey, when am I ever going to get the chance to see what’s in there again, huh?) but other than that no problems. A bag of frozen peas became my bestest friend for a few days and I took it easy so other than the original swelling (and may I say I was DAMN proud of the boys for a while, no pain but a couple of ripe pink avacados swimming around in the BVD’s) everything was cool.

The followup exam (to make sure all the swimmers were gone) 6 months later involved a quick stop in a Burger King bathroom around the corner from the clinic but that’s another story…

Jesus, I’d be afraid of catching something just being in there. :slight_smile:

hehe, waste!

It was the only place I knew would be clean. However this was way before The King and his creepy commercials, if I had it to do over I would have opted for Wendy’s.

A friend of mine had a vasectomy after their third child was born.

A couple of years later, he and his wife decide they want to try for a fourth child. So he has the vasectomy reversed.

They have a fourth child.

Then he goes back and has a vasectomy AGAIN.

No way.

If I have another kid then I have another kid. I mean what’s 18 years of postponed retirement and four years of college tuition compared to a coupla hammer blows to the ol’ ballsac? Nuthin’!

I wonder how they do the reversibles. Do have tiny little stopcocks, er, valves that the Doc turns on and off with a jeweler’s wrench and a magnifying glass?

I guess count me in the lucky ones. The procedure went great, though I had one day of minor discomfort once the novocain wore off. After that, I was only out of commission for a day or so.

And the leftover boys still in the pipeline? Doc said give them about 20 “good ejaculations” before I considered myself safe, and then to get the sperm count done.

Best damn 4 days of my life - the wife was DYING to get off her pill. I felt so dirty. Cheap. Used. :wink:

Oops. haha. You know, given how it felt at the time it wouldn’t have surprised me if I had left a bit of a waste line on the paper sheet they put me on.

So…today my boys are really tender, but it’s off and on. The cut doesn’t hurt (although there is a bit of a pinching feeling around the stitch) and it’s not red and swollen so I don’t think there’s an infection at this point. How long before I feel like normal and don’t even notice anything? Should I still be feeling a bit tender if there’s no infection? Is it because I’ve been sitting for too long (I ask this because I go back to work tomorrow and my job consists of sitting at a computer for the entire day)

WINCE

I’ve never been so grateful to be faithful, in my 40s, and in a marriage with a woman my own age who may be going through early menopause, in my whole damn life. Next you’ll be telling me Stihl is coming out with vasectomy equipment… :eek:
