It’s been 16 hours since the OP posted. I wonder how he’s feeling today?
OK - you got me.
What happens?
Hi folks 
I’m no good at the multiquote thing so I’ll just respond to summations of what have been the recurrent themes:
-
Why are you asking us rather than following Doctor’s advice / weren’t you paying attention?
Yes I was but I didn’t think to ask about oral and when he said not for a week I assumed he meant penetrative vaginal intercourse. I was asking about the relative safety of something my doctor didn’t cover -
You’ll blow the tubes open and have to redo the whole thing.
This is exactly what I was wondering about / afraid of and is the reason I asked. As someone pointed out "No one wants to do that again.
3)Stealth brag.
I haven’t bragged about getting blown since high school.
- Can’t you wait a day (two days week what have you)?
Yes. That being said the most surprising effect of the surgery on me was a sudden and mind-curdling spike in my libido. Not even on the list of anticipated reactions to getting snipped.
To all of you who offered opinions advice etc thank-you very much. Even the ones calling me a dolt for even considering it.
Zeke.
I’m pretty curious myself.
people often resort to ice or a bag of frozen peas to ease immediate post operation discomfort. you may need to use during the week to provide a distracting sensation.
eat food. you may put on a few pounds.
take up a new short term hobby for a week then get back to your old hobby.
Blood is mixed in with the semen. It’s pretty gross.
(Husband has been snipped.)
Mine was 10 years ago, and I can reassure you. The spike in libido never stops.
ETA: I never experienced a blood mixed with semen incident. Thank god.
I think if my wife and I were talking about the possibility of a hummer, it wouldn’t be a possibility very long.
I’m not sure if you mean by this that the discussion would result in the option being off the table or if you mean the potentiality would rapidly manifest as reality 
For anyone who is curious; things are better than I would have imagined possible. No pain or more than minor discomfort.
We had a good night last night but I followed the advice of the dope (damn it).
So this bloody semen thing; is it a common thing or a one in a million type?
Re: Ridiculous spike in libido - Is this common? A previous post seems to suggest I’m not the first to experience this but it really caught me off guard.
YMMV, but FWIW…
I was not particularly eager to be back in the saddle immediately post-vasectomy - it took a couple of days. However,
[TMI Alert]
For a number of reasons, I did experience rather a jump in interest. Partly I am sure it was the phenomenon of the forbidden fruit - I wanted it because I couldn’t have it. Partly it was to test the waters and see how different it was post-snippage vs. pre-.
Much of it was my wife’s fault. She was grateful to me for volunteering to be the one shorn of his generative powers, and also happy that we no longer needed to mess about with diaphragms and creams and suchlike. And so she made rather a point of what was Going to Happen once I felt up to it. She got a new nightie, and took to wearing it with a smile “for when you feel better” and holding the kiss when we kissed a little longer than usual and various kinds of semi-serious teasing like that.
It was worth the wait, but it usually is.

Yes it is. Works the other way round too, as well as with people who’d been very, very carefully combining several pregnancy prevention methods and then decide it’s Time To Try: all of a sudden… bareback! No counting! No Pill! No thermometers! YAY!
And your doctor did cover sex. All of it, not just PiV.
It is very cool that you can discern the content of a conversation that took place in a private room a continent away from you. Impressive.
I don’t mean to be bitchy but this is the 2nd time someone has come on and told me what my doctor and I discussed and it’s kind of ticking me off.
So I’ll say this again for the cheap seats; he neither specified that ALL sexual activity was off limits nor did I think to ask for clarification.
Now maybe I’m a schlub for not realizing that “sex” meant any sort of contact but honestly if I hear someone say “we had sex” it does not - to me - merely mean a blowjob etc. When I asked about sex I meant PiV and - I assume(d) we were working from the same operational definition
So as I said before; I appreciate the responses - even the critical ones - and I’m finding out interesting (frightening?) things about the immediate and later effects.
The condescension and implicit assumption that I’m a retard I can do without though.
At least I was paying enough attention to bring a legitimate question to the most reliable group of people I know when it comes to seeking answers to awkward questions.
And to follow the advice given no less.

Sheesh. Somebody needs to get laid.
Wow. I thought I was the horniest MF I know.
Warning: TMI, and youthful stupidity in 3,2,1…
Kidney stones visit me routinely. Once, while waiting for the lithotriptorI had a stentin place to hold the stones at bay. As you can see from the diagrams, a string is attached and hangs out of the urethra for removal. It is folded back along the external urethral appendage and taped in place with scotch tape. Really.
Removal is just as decidedly unpleasant as insertion, drugs not withstanding.
As a horny 20-something it occurred to me that my entire system was functioning nominally, and there couldn’t possibly be anything wrong with utilizing said system as designed. And, as young girls have been doing since the dawn of man, my GF (now Mrs.) closed her eyes and thought of England for a couple of weeks until my turn came up on the machine. Once in the bathroom in my hospital room.
Good lord, she’s put up with a lot from me over the years.
But even I waited a week or so like the snipping surgeon said. Jeez, have some self control.
The key is to leave the peas in the bag…
In this context, the most reasonable expectation is that by ‘sex’ the doctor means ‘sexual activity of any kind that involves your penis’
My urologist told me to ejaculate frequently before having unprotected sex to clear out any sneaky sperm stragglers, so I started working on that the same day. Physiologically almost all the pressure and action is coming from the prostate gland, sperm cells just kinda slobber out of your nads so you can’t blow your tubes. I been married so long, though, I forget what this hummer thing is…
For the win!
Bingo
and your nuts.
