So... it was scheduled. Its coming up... unsure if i need to do it but i guess the only advantage is no more kids(I have two already)Wife is pushing for it. Im just alittle on the fence.
We wanted three kids originally, but both of her pregnancies were difficult and both kids were premature - my son by just a little bit, and then my daughter was several weeks earlier than him. Plus I'm almost 40 now and she's 38, so yeah, we won't be having another kid.
But it's so final, and such a marker of middle age, that I can't bring myself to consider it yet. I'm sure I'll get there eventually, probably when I get tired of the "So who are you planning on impregnating in the future, because it's not going to be me? Must be saving yourself for your second wife" comments....haha
They say, don't pick up anything heavier than a Sunday Paper
This is good advice. I didn't listen to that. Picked up my toddler son and then had some, um, swelling that led to needing to surreptitiously icing my nuts at work.
I had to have it done twice. First time failed and that first time was a shitty experience. The second time I was put under and it went pretty smoothly.

would do it again in a heart beat.
the doctor that performed the surgery was called Dr. Stopp...no joke...he did my dad's too.. died a few years after i got mine done. No problem just take it easy...the worst part was the medical tape around the neck...

I completely understand why logically, but emotionally, I am reluctant to do it. Go figure. I'm almost 50, so I will get it done. I don't want any accidents calling me Daddy.
RE: the procedure is not final, can be reversed if wanted
I did have one a few years ago after my son was borne. It's really no big deal. I was put under and 20 minutes later it was done. Some bruising for a week but no real pain to speak of.

50 - just wait her out. Couple more years and she'll be done.....
It's a piece of cake. Just do what the doctor tells you do.
Mine was easy. My now ex (then wife) got me a sheet pizza, two dozen wings, a case of beer, war movies and new video games. Then took the kids away for the weekend. I took pain killers, smoked weed, drank and played video games all weekend.
A friend of mine, on the other hand, did not listen to the doc. He had sex the day he had his procedure and couldn't understand why his testicles swelled up to the size of golf balls. Moron.
is they usually send some 22 year old super model nursing student in to shave your nuts and pubic area. You need to be careful not to become aroused during this or it impacts the procedure making it far more painful that it would normally be.
I never really understand the whole angst about these things.
Second, glad they put me under. Both times. Yup. Twice for me too because they couldn't complete it the first time due to scar tissue from a previous hernia operation. So I got one side done, then had to go back for round two.
Third, no one has mentioned the best part. After the procedure, you've got to fire the gun like 10 or 12 times and then submit a sample to make sure there are no remaining swimmers. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do whether the wife lends a hand or not, so to speak.😁

do i have to lay down the entire weekend? as in lay down 24/7 or just as much as you can?
go back, I'd still do it, but I'd plug my nose to avoid the unpleasantry of smelling my nutsack being seared by the soldering tool they used.
Burnt flesh is a scent I'll remember for the rest of my life....
Never considered it before, and the thought of "smelling my nutsack being seared by the soldering tool" pretty much closes the book on it for me. Thanks Fats! :-)
just relax. It's an outpatient procedure that takes less than an hour to complete. Hundreds of thousands of men have gotten it. Don't psych yourself out.
They did ask me if I had a living will, though....
Nobody knows what is going to happen in the future.
Even though you might think your marriage will last forever, the reality is you just don't know. Death, infidelity, and the unknown can always happen.
My GF's father got one because he was sure he was done having kids. But then he wound up with a much younger woman and she wanted kids. Long story short, he investigated having it reversed. No luck. They got married but it is an issue and now the clock is ticking on her and I would not be surprised to see her ditch.

i told my wife before, i will no longer want kids. If god forbid something happens in our marriage, i will look for someone with kids.
thanks my dudes... like i said, i think my anxiety was getting

They told me to come in already shorn. Had to do it myself and luckily no nicks!

I haven't had a vasectomy, I just made this up to try and get GMAN4LIFE worried about something besides the procedure. I figured if he spent his time trying to avoid arousal it would take his mind away from the fact there is going to be a needle/laser in his balls.
Daaaaaaaaamn
I'm not attesting to anything about the smell of your nutsack or any painful friction in your nads.
I will vouch for the fact that we are both slower than Jason Taylor trying to close on Eli running to the corner of the end zone.

When did you find out it failed?

arrghh
Plus, I still have some sporadic delusions about slipping another one past the goalie.
Yeah...I heard that is one of those side effects. But I'm sure the mocha baby is cute.
Holy crap. Post of the year.
This way you're home recovering for that Thursday and Friday with all of the games going on.
I know, that's why I said:

seems so final even though they're reversible.

but the longer you wait between vasectomy and reversal the less successful the reversal process.
Ha! Funny
Burnt flesh is a scent I'll remember for the rest of my life....
LMAO...Spilled my drink all over. That's F@$ked Up!!
And burned flesh? Sounds tasty.

or RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, GET OUT BEFORE THEY SNIP YOUR NUT SACK OPEN AND STOP YOUR REPRODUCTIVE CAPABILITY.
RUN!!!!

FUCK.
So much for catching up on BBI while eating lunch in your office.
Motherfucker.
Seems that if there's any doubt or misinterest in having the procedure, you just wouldn't have the procedure.
No amount of pressure from someone else - including my wife - would ever compel me to have such a thing done.
Thankfully, she's never pressured me, and I have no interest. There are plenty of ways around this stuff if you're not interested.
For you fellas who have had the procedure ... if you're pleased? Perfect.
Third, no one has mentioned the best part. After the procedure, you've got to fire the gun like 10 or 12 times and then submit a sample to make sure there are no remaining swimmers. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do whether the wife lends a hand or not, so to speak.😁
