I also had mine done in the late 20s after my daughter was born. No problems and no pain either except for the numbing shots done first. Even those aren't bad since you get a valium before that. I don't know who had pain in the middle of the operation but if you did then something was done wrong...not enough numbing more than likely. You will need a cup to wear for a couple days but if you had it done on a Thursday and took Friday off you should be good to go on Monday. Ask the doctor before shaving...some only want a small area shaved and some want most of the hair in the area gone.

i'm considering one, too. the wife and i got two and that's enough for us. i heard that you lose some of the peter north when it comes to the money shot. is that true? it's my bread and butter and i'd hate to give it up.
ignore him...go to your doctor and talk to him about it. It's a simple procedure, usually done in the clinic. The only painful part is the numbing (shot) of the area and that is quick. I had mine done about a month after the birth of my second child.
You can always do what I did...hedge your pain with a few Canadian Tylenol before going to the procedure
My hats off to you for making the personal decision to forego children. If anything proves your "maturity" it is that. :thumbsup:
you might not want it, but what if the woman you end up loving dearly wants children? she might not bug you about it, but she might become depressed. you might change your mind later.
Well that's her problem then, isn't it? The point is that when she signed on, she knew EXACTLY where he stood when it came to having children.
I don't see why people here are trying to convince him to not have a vasectomy. Just because you have children of your own and can't possibly grasp the idea of why anyone young would not want children of their own in the future, here's a bit of newsflash for you. Not everyone thinks like you .. I know that's hard to grasp but it's true.
And do you know how many unwanted children are born to this world? In a perfect world, planned pregnancies are 100% but unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world. How many people admit that their child wasn't planned? Not many.

I wish I would have done that. I will always remember the nurses quote when she did the shot. "You are going to feel a little bee sting." Sure, a little bee sting... Let me just tell you, a little bee sting "down there" isn't the same as one on your arm.
To me the worst part was when they cauterized. Smelling the little puffs of smoke nearly put me out once I connected in my head what it was that I was smelling.
put some of your juice in the bank, just in case you do want to have one down the road and the vasectomy cannot be reversed.
great thread here.
and... here's my opinion.
i don't know you or your position in life or how responsible you really are or what your sexual experience is... and thus... i don't have any opinion to give you for your situation. either do it or don't. but don't let some random person online sway your decision.
as for me... i'm also 24. and also want a vasectomy. i've been with my current gf for 5 years. 4 of which we've lived together. we're not married because we find the ceremony hollow and trite... and don't really care to get married.
however... we both completely and totally agree that we do NOT want kids. ever.
i dig being around kids... most my friends have already had one. my gf's sister has one. i also helped raise my 2 little sisters after my parents were divorced.
all that being said... i've had plenty of experience with kids... and although i love them... i definitely do NOT want one of my own to raise.
we've both talked about this alot and neither of us have changed our feelings on the issue one bit in the past 5 years. nor do i see us changing this belief anytime in our lives.
and... i DO plan to get my vas clipped asap. which... i might be getting hired on for an IT job at a major hospital... so i imagine i could get one done fairly cheap in the near future. and i wholeheartedly intend to so that my gf can finally stop taking the pill.
=====================================
all that being said... i do now have an opinion for anyone who wants this operation. do it. don't worry about sperm etc. if you don't want kids... get it done.
and.... if somewhere down the road you decide you DO want kids... adopt one of the MILLIONS of kids in this country that desperately need a family.

I think some folks that have had them must have had it a while ago in the dark ages. I just had one done back in Feb '05 (yes, i have 2 kids already) and it was cake. It all depends on the technique the doc uses. For me the worts part was having to shave. Or actually, the grow back after the shave. Sh!t does that itch and get irritated. And I did my own shaving at home. Well, the wife got a kick outta helping
My procedure was a simple little shot in the arm, he said count backwards from 10 and I didn't even get that right. I said 1, taaa and was fvckin LOOPED. Still awake but LOOPED. Didn't feel a thing. He just snipped and tied. None of that burning sh!t.
Then I spent the w/end on the couch with a bag of frozen peas on my balls and by Monday was fine. The key to recovery is to seriously be very lazy for the first 2-3 days after. You will feel better than you are, don't over do it. You'll be a little sore/tender for a few days but that's it. I didn't even take anything besides tylenol. And that was only on Saturday the day after.
Seriously though, considering freezing some of your kids cuz you really never know. You may find that really special woman and she'll convince you to have kids.

nothing to it. doesnt really hurt unless you have a low thresh for pain, or the doc screws up. i just had one valium i took about an hour before, and nothing afterwards. was "sore" for a few days, and had the occasional "blue balls" feeling for the next six months or so, but nothing that really bothered me. no lecture from the doctor, took about a half hour, and only cost 15 bucks due to the co-pay on my insurance.
best decision i ever made. by 23 i had 2 children, one girl and one boy. always wanted kids, one of each, got them, so getting snipped was the answer. the benefits of not having the wifey on those bc pills that facked with her hormones so much was worth it, no doubt.
the only advice i would give against it is maybe wait until you get married. the situation with your futre wife may change your mind. finding the right woman to marry and have children with makes all the difference in the world when it comes to kids.
good luck!
edit:the nurse that prepped my was HOT. glad i had that valium.

children in foster care are not necessarily up for adoption. do you have no understanding of that system?

what the fvck does that have to do with anything. probably half of the children out there are unplanned. hell, i know i was an "whoops", but that doesn't mean my parents regretted having me.

You can actually get a vasectomy with no incision now I hear. it's all done with lasers or something. Check it out.
My friend just got a vasectomy, not with the laser. he said it wasn't too bad. They inject this stuff in you down there, which feels like a "kick in the balls". Then the doctor fishes around and cuts the vein...... snip snip....
Doesn't sound fun to me......... Just practice the greatly mastered skill of "pulling out".

There is a suppository, lasts about 6 years I think, that the woman can have implanted into her uterus. Simple medical procedure. Costs about 400 bucks I think.
Do that every 6 years and you are good. Might even be good for 9 or 10 years, I dont remember.
