    Hey Man

    Let me tell you I would consider myslef a complete wimp in the area of pain. I did about 10 years ago. I am 44 now BTW. Here is what you need to do. Get your doc to get you a couople of really good pills which my doc did that I took them both right beofre surgery and you walk in feeling nothing. Afterwards I can honestly say not one moment of bad pain. Just felt like a big bruise. I spent about 4 days on the couch with ice on the croch. For about 3 weeks after I babied myself and within about 3 weeks or so I was back on a softball field.

    Let me also tell you that sex is exactly the same and it is so great to never worry about getting her preganant as I made a strong personal choice not to have kids. Even the climactic moments are exactly a like....I swear

    One of my personal decision I ever made.....Well that and becoming a Pearl Jam junkie

    I'm very happy with my decision to have one. However, I may be in the minority here, but mine HURT LIKE HELL for about 5 days. And yes, the frozen bag of peas and Vicodin ES were my best friends for the first 3-4 days.

  • I don;t really understand guys that say "No Way!" to it. If you want (more) kids someday or you think maybe you might get divorced and the next woman will want kids then maybe. but if you have enough kids or you/your lady are getting too old then why not?

    It's not like they cut out the fun parts, they just take the yeast out of your baby batter.

    Ive had one, no problem with the procedure what so ever, healed up nice, and I am very pleased that I capped my beautiful wonderful family at a girl (age 3) and a boy (age 9months)

    My wife keeps throwing it out there but no chance in hell I'm gonna do it. Anybody here have it done? If you want to talk about it. What's the process like?

    Suggest that she get an operation herself.

    I got one once I'd had my second baby and it took care of the problem. Since I was the one who didn't want more children, it seemed the better option.

    Me too. Of course, I was already cut open with a C-section so easy decision.

    yeah same here...the first couple days after, it felt like constantly getting kicked in the jewels, getting up off a chair hurt (my boys were literally in a sling) and took about 10 days to be unaware of any pain.

    small price to pay though for being sure
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    My friend had his done a few years ago now .. his wife's attitude was "I gave birth" he was sore for a few days ... but fine until two years later ... his wife got pregnant,not because the vasectomy hadn't worked ... because she was a lying whore who was having an affair and she got slack with her "other life"

    I can't believe so many of you have had this done.

    Now, in all seriousness, can it be reversed like in the Seinfeld episode? I have no idea.

    I heard it's "possible" but no guarantee and costs a lot... so you'd better be damn sure you don't want another kid!

    I am kinda surprised as well about how many here have had it done!
    I would get it done (after kids maybe) if I could get my stuff re-routed. Maybe I could just get it to shoot out my belly button. too much? sorry.

    not yet married or with kids but the way i see if you dont want more kids its the only way to go

    its a much more invasive surgery for women, the pill can really fuck with women's weight/hormones, condoms suck, unexpected babies suck, the recovery time for a vasectomy is really not that bad

    not to mention i think its the least you can do after your wife/significant other has pushed a BABY OUT OF HER VAGINA :shock:

    My wife was Depo Provera on during college, i don't recommend it, kills your sex drive, gain weight and when you come off it it takes like a year for a women's body to get back to a regular schedule.
