I was vasectomized about 4 hours ago and Mrs. Zeke and I were discussing the possibility of a hummer. So assuming gentility how safe would it be to get off this soon after a vasectomy - either with or without assistance? ---

You would seriously regret it. No jiggling until you are healed. ---

Follow your doctor’s advice! If they advice is “not yet”, then wait. Besides being uncomfortable or painful, it may be possible that sex before full healing could mess up the results. Then you’d have to get snipped _AGAIN_. Nobody wants that. ---

you want to heal and have your tubes and scars heal. you don’t want to wreck what you are trying to achieve. give it a week. after that week you will then realize you will never face a harder week in your life. ---

Four hours? The painkillers probably haven’t worn off yet. Once they do you won’t be so eager. And remember, a hummer is not an acceptable sample collecting technique 6 weeks from now. Though her manual cooperation is fine. ---

Combined with the topic and the word “Sex” in the title, my brain is really insistent on making “fastish” into “fetish.” Also, shit dude - you can’t leave it for a day? Damn. ---

Why are you asking us, instead of your doctor? . . . who probably told you, but you weren’t paying attention. And 4 hours??? Seriously??? ---

If “hummer” means placing a bag of ice on your nuts, let her do it. ---

Unless you’re a masochist, wait. And even if you are, wait. I had mine on Friday afternoon and I felt I was ready on Tuesday morning. Turns out I was, but the trepidation as I approached the point of no return was nerve-wracking. I wouldn’t have wanted to go any sooner than that.
