I’m sure there are threads about it on here somewhere, but they’re probably old and I don’t feel like dealing with searching for them and then filtering through all the typical BS to find the information I’m looking for. I can think of no better way to ruin my MLK Day morning bourbon.
For those of you who have had a vasectomy, worth it? Out of commission for how long? Painful? Any other thoughts? I’m 35, happily married, have two kids, and we’ve decided we’re done.
Considering getting one and want to hear from some like-minded folk.
I considered it , god knows there were days when my kids were 3/4 years old terrorizing the house and getting on my last nerve I would have done it if I could get in that day.
Around 35 my wife got an IUD? Its lasts for 5 years and eliminated her having a monthly period. It was a godsend to our marriage.
If you are married and the vasectomy seems like a last resort, I would ask my wife to consider the IUD. I know several married couples that have them and no issues.
More than worth it. Have it done on a Friday afternoon, ice it and drink a few beers that night. You will be back in the saddle on Sunday. Just remember it takes a while to flush all them little bastards out.

We’ve had the IUD for a while but it is giving her health issues. Considering this as a longer term option that doesn’t have a negative impact on her.

About 15 years after my Vas, my wife opted for a Merena IUD. Not for birth control, but for hormone stability and it also eliminated her period. It was a godsend to her.
More than worth it. Have it done on a Friday afternoon, ice it and drink a few beers that night. You will be back in the saddle on Sunday. Just remember it takes a while to flush all them little bastards out.
Yep, no big deal. I drove myself an hour to the Dr. and then home afterwards. Even though it's tempting to take a peak during the surgery, I recommend you do not.
Make sure you have a vas on both sides. If you dont, get a kidney xray before surgery. Proly find out youve got one kidney. Dont let the doc go exploratory during vasectomy.

Hell, my wife was looking over Doc's shoulder, "Tie ANOTHER knot in that son of a bitch".
Good friend and his wife had their 2nd girl. Wifey talked him into getting snipped. Marriage started getting rocky, so they went to a counselor, where she admitted to not loving him when the 2nd was born, knew the bliss was over, and getting him snipped was out of spite.....ouch.....
After the divorce, he married a gal, and they wanted a kid. He went back in for surgery and they managed to get one nut working. So after several in vetro attempts and 60 grand, they had a bouncing baby boy.

God forbid anything catastrophic should ever happen to your family....but at your age you are young enough to start over if the unforeseen worst would happen. Don't rush into this decision.
Both brothers had 'em too and had issues, One didn't wear underwear, the other didn't let it heal before he was up and about.
I had mine on a Thursday and was back at work - slowly and easy - Monday. By Friday I was fine and better than new.
Get TWO jock straps and wear OUTSIDE your briefs, You'll have some leakage and stuff, keep the area clean, When you wash one, you'll have the 2nd one for support, keep it tight for 2-3 days and you'll be fine.

My wife got an IUD when she 28 because she was having problems with birth control pills (sore boobs). I didn't like it because there a piece of the IUD sticking out of her uterus (I guess so the Doc could tell it was still in place) and it poked me when I was fully engaged. She went back on the birth control pills after about 6 months and I ended getting a vasectomy a few years later.

But in that situation, there are millions of kids out there needing homes and parents. Does it really matter what DNA they carry?

I never heard of anything protruding through the cervix but a little bit of string. I thought it was there for increased stimulation.
Did some home work. Found a Dr. that does lots of them with a good reputation. Drank a tall boy before walking in to calm nerves. Minor discomfort the first day but no big deal. Drove 900+ miles to Montana for family vacation a couple days later with no problem. I did decline the kids request to go horseback riding that week.
Had it done 18 or so years ago. Nothing to the actual surgery..... local anesthetic, no stitches, no real discomfort. Couple days celibate, then back in the saddle to flush those swimmers out. The decision to get it done is another matter, one that only you can make. 35 seems a bit young to me, but again, a decision you have to be good with.

Got one on my early 20s ( I don't like kids...to put it mildly..) Absolutely the best decision I ever made in my life. Not too awful painful, out of commission per se for about 4 weeks IIRC...other thoughts...if you ever end up single again, its like having a license to kill. Also..your wife doesn't have to be on BC pills with al the hormonal stuff going on there...its a win/win.

Haha!
They got this new thing these days.......its called VD.
No big deal if you're sure you're done. The urologist who did mine, did his own. The ultimate DIY job.
Jesus Christ. Although, after a few too many when one of my kids does something particularly boneheaded, I’ve threatened to do my own. Only difference, I suppose, is that he knows what he’s doing. My plan involved a sharpened spoon and a towel to bite.
I got a vasectomy when I was 42 and was sure I didn't want to have any more kids other than the 2 I had. If I had it to all over I would have gotten my wife to have her tubes tied but at time I got my vasectomy her Doc wasn't doing the arthroscopic tube tying procedure.
I asked everybody I knew who had had a vasectomy about their experience with the procedure and they all lied and said there nothing to it. I got a shot in my scrotum where the Doc about a 1 inch incision. I thought all the pain over after the shot but when he cut the first tube it hurt so bad I got nauseous and starting sweating. The nurse ask if I was ok and I "Not Really" but it was too late to back out. When the other tube it was just as painful. After the surgery the Doc put my testicles in a little jock strap and sent me on my way without a prescription for pain medication. He told me if I had a any pain to take Ibuprofen as needed. This was on Friday morning so I figured I'd be ready to go to work Monday like all my friends said I would. By the time I got home my testicles had fallen out of the jock strap and I was beginning to feel some pain. I ended up spending the rest of the weekend in bed on my back with a pillow under my butt so my testicles couldn't hang down. I had no pain unless they hanging. The Doc didn't tell me that sometimes your testicles don't get the message to cut back on sperm production right away and you might temporary swollen testicles. I had swollen testicles by Monday and ended wearing a jock strap and walking funny because of my swollen testicles (couldn't put my legs together). All my friends who told me there was nothing to it thought it was hilarious. I wore a jock strap and walked funny for the next 2 weeks. About 6 months later I jumped out of pickup bed at the deer lease and when I hit the ground the ground and my testicles hit the end of their ropes it was very painful. It took another 6 months for the pain to end completely.
Had mine done at age 25, bout 1978. Literally had to provide a note from the wife, the doc thought I was to young for procedure. The worst part of the whole affair, was the semen check after a couple weeks. Went to hospital, gal gave me a little cup, and pointed to rest room in the waiting room. Tough to give up a sample when you can hear kids scurrying around the waiting room and the receptionists knew exactly what your job was.
I had it done years ago. Day after I went out and cut a load of wood. Get it done after thinking it through. If something would happen to your wife and you would remarry, would she want kids? Other than that, it was local anesthesia and the doc and I joked through the whole procedure. Come to think about it, I hope he got it right :_)
"is this some kind of I have a big dick humble brag thing? (joking)"
Not really my wife was the only woman I had sex with in my that had an IUD and who occasionally complained about me "hitting bottom". Short vagina maybe?

It was stiff and sharp like the end of 50lb monofilament fishing line but I was able to work through the discomfort.
But in that situation, there are millions of kids out there needing homes and parents. Does it really matter what DNA they carry?
Yes, it does matter. Not that adopting is bad, it certainly isn’t. But DNA matters. It isn’t just looks that are passed down. Mannerisms, personality, and more are affected by DNA. Your children are modern versions of you. Especially if you raise them right.
We need all the good men making more of themselves, not bringing foreign children with foreign DNA here to raise. The foreigners breed like rabbits with no plan for raising productive and moral children in many cases. They are changing America, and not for the better. And white Americans are not having children even at a rate to maintain the population. Many of them are adopting the children of foreigners. Still more have kids, but let them grow like weeds, with the school forming their thought processes. See a problem? Try adopting a white kid. It ain’t easy, or cheap. Easier to adopt a foreign child. Why is that?
Yes DNA, does matter. We need to be having all the kids we can raise. And raising them to understand their place, and their responsibilities to the family and the nation. Raising them to be good parents, and to continue the lineage and the culture.
Got mine done back in early '79 soon after our 3rd child was born. Three children was all we could provide a decent life for and raise properly.
The procedure itself was quick, for the most part pretty much painless and relatively quick recovery back to normal, whereas if my wife would have went with surgical sterilization it wouldn't have been so easy, longer recovery, possibly more complications with some potentially long term.
The downside to mine was once the initial anesthetic wore off I had pain that lasted longer than typical. Although I went back to work the very next scheduled work day any physical movement from the waist down was painful for about a week after. Simply stepping up or down as I normally would've hurt like the dickens. I quickly learned to move as slowly and gently as possible. Mine wasn't the norm, though.

With the exception of certain genotypic anomalies, most personality traits are acquired through environmental influence during the formative years, not a phenotypic expression of alleles that yield a predisposition to suck.

Good thing my grandparents were "foreigners" that bred like rabbits then..........or Dad wouldn't have 5 brothers and sisters for me to call Aunt and Uncle, and they wouldn't have had 4-5 kids each for me to call cousin, and I wouldn't have 4 siblings..............................and all that's not even counting the Mic side of the family. There may be more of them than the Dago side even.
Most of the progeny of them "foreigners" turned out to be pretty decent citizens............ (although many of us did learn to be pretty "pro-labor" )
I know several women including my wife that had tubes tied. She went from light periods and mild PMS to her periods being a blood bath. Horrible cramps and dragon like PMS. The other women I spoke of had an increase in all their symptoms too. If I had it to do again I would get cut. No man I know ever complained about any after affects for a vasectomy.
Had it done in my mid 30's. 48 now. Procedure was nothing. A day or two of taking it easy. After that, Worry free sex for life!!!! Well worth the minor discomfort. I have two kids, but I would NEVER want another. I'm just selfish with my time. Would not want to go back in time and have more and never want another.

LOL. He is now a member of Congress and a really strong conservative.
After the snip your nads are supposed to cut back production and eventually stop completely. In a percentage of cases that doesn't happen.\
My best buddy cousin had it done in the early 1990s and was Ok for a short while. Then persistent pain began.
One day while working at home the pain got severe and he knocked off for the day and jumped in the shower to clean up. While washing, he found that he had a "3rd" and very painful ball. This was on a Saturday afternoon and he played hob getting hold of his doctor.
That evening in the hospital he was told that one nut had "calved" for lack of a better word, from the pressure of unreleased production. Surgery recommended...
We had 2 boys and wanted no more children. Procedure was simple no issues other than my son whining about me using his lunch ice pack instead of the frozen peas (I hate waisting food and for the record the ice pack was inside a plastic baggie).
And I've known various guys who had wives/girlfriends who really insisted that they get snipped. Then when they wanted a baby insisted that the guy have it reversed...
I had it done. Lil pain but not unbearable by any means. The most uncomfortable part was the prostate exam. Felt like I needed to take a crap for the rest of the day. Everything went well afterwards and nothing is different except the jewels seem to ride a little lower now. Even the warden made a comment about it a few weeks ago. I thought it was just my imagination.
You would think by now medical "science" would have come up with a simple shut off valve to install, turn the flow back on in case of the divorce (+/- 40% chance of one or so it seems) or a change of heart.
Heck, I have a valve on the oil pans of my vehicles so I don't have to pull a plug every 6000-10000 miles.
I figure with all the modern tech available now they could even do the blue tooth thingie and you could just turn the flow back on from your smart phone at the same time as you're dimming the lights upstairs and turning on the Barry White to set the mood.

From the internet: “During spermatogenisis, your testicles make several million sperm per day —- about 1500 per second. By the end of a full sperm production cycle, you can generate up to 8 billion sperm.”
I refuse to create 8 billion POWs per graduating class, then pretend I’m still a decent human being.
Had it done 35 years ago. While I was up on the table, exposed in all my glory to the nurses wandering in and out, I asked the doc "How long until I can get "back in the saddle"?
He said "As soon as you're comfortable."
I was chasing my wife around the next day. She referred to it as getting fuqqed by Barney's dick, I was so bruised and purple.
No side effects at all. Still works as good as ever.
30 years ago for me. Women tend to have more medic probems when neutered than men do, so there is that.
As said, drove myself to and from the clinic the day of - a Friday.
Don't do ANYTHING strenuous for 5 days (3 is probably OK- but why take chances). I moved a half dozen concrete blocks my second day and had one nut swell up to about 3X for a few days.
If swabbed down with sterilizing goop, be sure to carefully wash it off right after. The itching that night about drove me to cut everything off!
If I knew then what I know now, I'd have done it at 18....

I used to say I dont want a Vasectomy because I felt like I was cheating evolution, and humanity, of the potential for more of my genes. Doing society a favor and all...
Interesting that the ones who are venomously opposed haven't had the operation. If your marriage is solid and you truly do not want any more children then go ahead. It is your decision not some one else. Had mine about 46 years ago and never regretted it. Those opposed have opinions not experience.

That reminds me of a joke...
An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution for his client convicted of murder. His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed.
As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him, 'What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been? Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it'. And on and on and on.
Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by his wife’s predictable sarcastic remarks as he dragged himself up the stairs.
While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered and was told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight.
Finally realizing what a terrible day he must have had, she decided to go upstairs and give him the good news.
As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet.
'They're not hanging Wright tonight!' she said.
He whirled around and screamed, 'For the love of god woman, don't you ever stop?'
Zero bruising. Packed nuts in ice first night. Taking the suture out when ready, was weird..........sat on the floor and slow pulled, thought it'd bust open and my nuts roll out LOL Think I was banging the ol lady a week after, even though i was in extreme pain. She had a nice ass back then.
Ducksanddogs: I have had a personal policy of NEVER, I repeat NEVER allowing sharp objects of any kind anywhere near my cock and balls! EVER! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
Had it done 3 years ago.... have a boy and a girl with my wife.....regardless of what the future brings I don’t want any more kids..... bunch of pu$$ies...... on top of that....I know 3-4 guys who got divorced and remarried..... paid 7 or 8 grand, had em sewn back together and fathered more kids.......chit, I tell every dumb azz 18 year old kid I know to get it done......when they can save the 8 grand to get it reversed they are responsible enough to be a parent.
I considered it , god knows there were days when my kids were 3/4 years old terrorizing the house and getting on my last nerve I would have done it if I could get in that day.
Around 35 my wife got an IUD? Its lasts for 5 years and eliminated her having a monthly period. It was a godsend to our marriage.
If you are married and the vasectomy seems like a last resort, I would ask my wife to consider the IUD. I know several married couples that have them and no issues.
We’ve had the IUD for a while but it is giving her health issues. Considering this as a longer term option that doesn’t have a negative impact on her.
About 15 years after my Vas, my wife opted for a Merena IUD. Not for birth control, but for hormone stability and it also eliminated her period. It was a godsend to her.
Different people, different effects. My wife had that for almost 5 years. Very effective. Shut her completely off. Ended up with depression, on happy pills. New veterinarian (Beaver doc) said it was time to remove it. And expressed his dislike of the product and it's side effects. In 6 months my wife was back.
She had a new procedure tgat blocks the fallopian tubes. No cutting necessary.
I did it 14 years ago more or less. My reasons are my own, but boil down to not wanting the potential for a bastard and all the attendant bullschidt of half siblings. I had my kids, and didn't want them to have to share me if things went south with their mom. FWIW they haven't.
But to do over, I'd not do it unless my wife was in danger of dying were she to become pregnant. Was an easy in and out procedure, but anybody tells you they're the same after as before are lying or didn't have much to start with.

I am 71 years old, had it done when I was 35, sat up and watched the MD do it, asked for the pieces. The doc asked why and I told him I wanted them bronzed to make my wife earrings. He didn't have a sense of humor
Went shopping with my wife and kids, got back in the plane and flew home. That was abit uncomfortable.
Daughter was born mid-December in 1981. I got cut the first Friday in 1982. No problems after the procedure and never regretted the decision. Then my bride had to have a full hysterectomy a few years later and that sealed the worries of watching the calendar.
I'll turn 40 next month and we are finished having kids. I haven't scheduled it yet but it's happening in the next couple months. I'm not looking forward to it. I don't expect it be fun. I expect it will be uncomfortable, if not painful. This is all minor bs compared to having to work extra years to pay for another college education, vehicle, possible wedding etc. should one slip by the goalie. I know a guy in his late 40s that has a kid in college and just found out he has another on the way. No thanks
A bunch of us friends from the fire department had to load a buddy up into the bed of a pickup and take him to the ER. He couldn’t wait and got frisky with his wife too soon after the snip-snip and he wound up having a couple of grapefruits for nuts....they got better but he sure seemed to be in serious discomfort at the time. 😂. At the time I didn’t think there was enough ice in Antarctica to deal with that swelling. You know it’s bad when a bunch of paramedics and EMT’s with a 100 years of experience between them are standing around staring at another man’s testicles saying.....”WOW dude that’s crazy, I’ve never seen anything like it before”. 😁
Our last child was born by C-section so my wife had her tubes tied then. I don’t regret the testicular reprieve I was given.
For best results however, it’s always a good idea to have an actual doctor perform the procedure no matter how willing your buddy is to do it or how cheap your buddy will do it for.....as I’m sure you’ve learned by the third time.
Done about 6 months ago. No biggie. Buddy just had an unexpected bundle of joy at the age of 42. Happy for him and his wife, but so glad I'm not in his position. Lol
Next time you’re in Anchortown run down and ask Steve about it. He says if you take all the pills at once before you go in you’ll hold yer old wacker back out of the way by yourself while the doc does the cuttin, just to be helpful.
Generally painless. The tugging sensation was a odd. The sound and smell of cauterized ball meat was a bit unnerving. I looked like Mike Tyson punched me in the sack. It stayed colorful for a while. Definitely worth it.
You guys have lost me....I found my twin girls "under a cabbage leaf".....:) either that or the Stork brought them, I forget. I also have forgotten "which arm its under", if you know what I mean? lol
I knew a guy that had it done, but it was done half ass.
His wife got pregnant a year later and he was fit to be tied. They were very close to getting a divorce before they found how he wasn't shooting blanks.
To this day, he doesn't see the humor in it (and it raising a kid to boot). Not sure if he sued the doc over the cost of raising a kid or not.

That tugging sensation is when you realize your balls are connected clear up to your eyelids. Make sure you have a couple bags of frozen peas to rotate out. Don't do anything but sit on the couch for a couple days and it goes pretty good. You'll be black and blue for a week or two but well worth it in the end. Mine was done in 2000 and I get chills thinking about that tugging sensation'. lol

Whata a fugging crybaby!
Hope the kid tells him to visit with himself when he is in the nursing home!

First time the novocaine didn’t gitRdone. Right side basically without anesthetic.
Second time; Got referred to a urologist who assured me “I know what I’m doing” mmhmm Same result anesthetic-wise, but chose to not tough it out again.
Scared or macho, the kind of guy who won't use a c ondom.
Condoms are damned expensive.....when you are going through 100 a month. And they break frequently. Besides, they are really not that effective. Sources state condoms are 98% effective birth control IF used perfectly.
But in real life they are 85% effective.
So if used perfectly, and you are making it an average of three times a day, she is going to get pregnant twice every month.
All I know for sure is, we were using condoms WITH spermicide foam and I knocked her up twice in the first year I knew her. But never again after the vasectomy.
Done Jan 31 1984 at 2:00 PM. I was at work at 3:30 PM. And taking care of Momma by Jan 2.
If it took 11 months to get back to taking care of momma I’m not sure it was worth it.😀
Wow, that's quote a typo. I got it done New Year's eve, as I already had the deductible covered for the year, and our healthy baby girl had been born Nov 25.
Back in the saddle just in time to coincide with Momma's post partum rest and recovery period.
Had it done with kids were around 6 and 4 or so (27, 29 now). Do what they tell you you will have no issues, no pain, just a bit of discomfort for a day or so.
Had mine Friday morning, spent the weekend on the couch with Dr's orders (how often can you do that, no nagging!). Take about a week "off" from activity with the wife. Then have at it. Takes several loads to clean out the pipes, then you have to give a couple of samples to make sure you got none left. Wife can help in that department, like my dr told us, timing of getting the sample isn't critical, we know you're guys work, now we want to just make sure no more are there.
No difference in performance, desire etc.
The pressure of needing birth control of any type is gone and that can be a freeing experience. It's the much simpler of the surgical options (you or her).
Now they have the no knife method.
Those that don't want to do it are either not secure in the marriage, or just illogically afraid of a knife to the nuts
"First time the novocaine didn’t gitRdone. Right side basically without anesthetic."
The anesthetic only numbs the location in the middle of your scrotum where the only incision is made. There is no anesthetic for what happens next. They pull each sperm duct out of your scrotum separately, cut out a section of the duct and then tie off ends of the duct. I was ok until the Doc started separating the duct from the other stuff so he could cut it. It felt like it feels when you take a good hit to the nuts. I watched the whole thing so I knew what was coming and gritted my teeth when he pulled the second duct out. The nurse was VERY pretty so I didn't want her to think I was a sissy.
Question for those that have done the deal in the last 4-5 years... what did this cost?
Bro, don’t do it!
I must have walked in the wrong door and ended up with my junk in the hands of a veterinarian because he treated my precious like they were rubber balls. Still hurts thinking about it...😎

I house sat for my boss for two days following mine. There wasn't a cold thing in her house I didn't use to comfort the codsack.
After our third child was born, my wife and I agreed that I would be the one to get cut. It was a mutual agreement.
My wife made the appointment and I never bothered to ask the doctor's name. When he walked in I knew immediately that his name wasn't Dr. Smith. He had an East Indian type bearded face and his head was wrapped in a dark blue bath towel. By then I was on my way out from the anesthesia, but I didn't see a scimitar before I went blank. When I woke up it was all over.
This was on a Friday morning. I spent Friday on the couch at home and felt good enough by Saturday afternoon that I went out in the yard and pulled some weeds growing in our new lawn. I went back to work on Monday and I have never looked back. For me it was easy peasy...........
And maybe a week later, everything worked just like it had before I met "Dr. Smith"...........
I think I was about 40 when i had it done, a few months after the birth of our third.
Didn’t bug me much - a little swelling, a little pain, gone in a few days.
For some time after that, i would occasionally get a little aching. Don’t recall when that stopped entirely, probably a couple years and it was infrequent. Less painful than a sore throat.
Wife had previously taken care of birth control - she was on the pill when we weren’t trying to have kids. Vasectomy is a lot easier and less invasive than a woman having her tubes tied.
It is nice not to have to worry about it, and function seems to be the exact same as it always was.
Would I do it again? Sure, but I would wait longer. We were “done” having kids. I wouldn’t have minded another, but she had had enough, and that’s ok.
I wouldn’t get it done when I thought “we were done” having kids, I’d have it done when I was dang sure I didn’t want to be father to another baby. At this point, I’m almost 50 and I know that my late nights will be waiting for teenagers, not changing diapers. But in retrospect, I wouldn’t do it at 40 again.

Third time; went to surgery and got put under.
Yeah, I’m a tough SOB.
Sorry to read such a painful series of events! I was almost feeling sympathy pains. Sounds like paying a buddy a case of beer would have been a better bet than the first two clowns.
They weren't clowns. The first was family practice, and he was a good doc. I'd seen him prior. The urologist was pro ably good, Literally a pompous ass.
I also have issues with lidocaine, novacaine, and the other permutations of anesthetics at the dentist. Couple years ago I needed a molar filling replaced. Took three injections to get numb enough for the old filling to be drilled out. Literally Half my face was numb the rest of the day.

I am 71 years old, had it done when I was 35, sat up and watched the MD do it, asked for the pieces. The doc asked why and I told him I wanted them bronzed to make my wife earrings. He didn't have a sense of humor
Went shopping with my wife and kids, got back in the plane and flew home. That was abit uncomfortable.
Yes, I was under water trying to keep shoes on and a roof over the heads of the three I had.
The stress of caring for an additional kid or two would have probably killed my wife. She was not made to change diapers for twelve or fourteen years straight.
It ain't like you can just send the older ones out to the field to plant extra crops to feed the younger ones anymore.
I stuck around my parents place and helped work the farm or handed earnings over to help support younger siblings until I was twentyfive years old and met my wife. I knew exactly what I was doing and why. No way in Hell where any of my kids ever going to have to worry about the welfare of younger siblings.

Damn! Sounds like you made the right call given the situation.
I always figured if I made more kids, the wife would just have to work more.
Simple, didn't want more kids. Had 2, #3 gets expensive (bigger house, cars, daycare etc.) At 2 we figured it was a fair fight: 2 against 2, other silly reasons, you only have 2 hands, one for each kid etc.
Lots of reasons, but boils down to, just didn't want any more
Rabbit hunting buddy of mine's wife had her tubes tied after a couple kids. Dang it if she didn't get pregnant at 46. I guess he should have been snipped along with her.
Had it done 25 years ago and my PSA is still under 1.0 and the pecker pump still works just fine. Find a good urologist, not a gp if you are going to have a vasectomy. Why would you not? Titanium clips and cauterization of the vas deferens is pretty darn permanent to my way of thinking. Kids are expensive little organisms and after raising four of them that came with the marriage licence and one of my own, enough was enough. It was major surgery for her, but minor surgery for me. A weekend being waited on hand and foot with the cold compresses and a pile of gun magazines was all the discomfort that I had. I was in no hurry to get it on again and neither was my urologist until the samples were clean. No way that I was watching the procedure because they put a big view blocking sheet screen over your stomach. None of you have mentioned the slight aching in your scrotum the next day after an ejaculation, but I just chalk it up to all those little swimmers going back to be reabsorbed. No big deal compared to the possible alternative.
I've never known a women that had problems after having her tubes tied. I've known a lot of men who got vasectomies and had problems afterwards including myself. Your wife can still get pregnant after you get neutered.
Had it done in 1978. Part off it I remember, part of I don't. Wife, sitting in the waiting room said after about 25 minutes, I came wandering through wearing nothing but a blanket around my shoulders and a string hanging from the parts Dr. had been working on. Small town, small clinic, Dr. worked without a nurse and had to put me on pause while he fetched more thread for stitches. I saw him walk out and thought we were finished; still a little groggy, I was leaving but forgot to put on my levis. That's the only problem I ever had with the surgery.
But in that situation, there are millions of kids out there needing homes and parents. Does it really matter what DNA they carry?
Yes, it does matter. Not that adopting is bad, it certainly isn’t. But DNA matters. It isn’t just looks that are passed down. Mannerisms, personality, and more are affected by DNA. Your children are modern versions of you. Especially if you raise them right.
We need all the good men making more of themselves, not bringing foreign children with foreign DNA here to raise. The foreigners breed like rabbits with no plan for raising productive and moral children in many cases. They are changing America, and not for the better. And white Americans are not having children even at a rate to maintain the population. Many of them are adopting the children of foreigners. Still more have kids, but let them grow like weeds, with the school forming their thought processes. See a problem? Try adopting a white kid. It ain’t easy, or cheap. Easier to adopt a foreign child. Why is that?
Yes DNA, does matter. We need to be having all the kids we can raise. And raising them to understand their place, and their responsibilities to the family and the nation. Raising them to be good parents, and to continue the lineage and the culture.
With the exception of certain genotypic anomalies, most personality traits are acquired through environmental influence during the formative years, not a phenotypic expression of alleles that yield a predisposition to suck.
Uncounted herdsmen over the millennia would disagree. As would anyone engaged in empirical observation...or heavily involved in genetic research.
Had it done and I think they used a dull knife and a rough sledge hammer. What a gut ache that lasted for what seemed months. Just kidding. Procedure lasted 6 minutes and the Valium made it painless. Spent the next day watching TV and drinking beer with an ice bag chilling it all down. Wear a jock strap for a week for support and it was just that easy. Day 2 at midnight got called out at work to go fix a printer at the weather service
keep the nut juice flowing, lots of hungry women out there.
And again, the nut juice flows undiminished. A guy can still care for the entire harem as well as before the snip, he just can not knock em up. Hell, she will not even notice a difference in taste, let alone volume.
I've never known a women that had problems after having her tubes tied. I've known a lot of men who got vasectomies and had problems afterwards including myself. Your wife can still get pregnant after you get neutered.
If I had that concern, I would already have a new wife.
"A vasectomy is more or less non-invasive compared to a hysterectomy.'
Why do you think a woman has to get a hysterectomy? They can have their tubes tied and the women I know that had it done said there was nothing to it and reversible.
