Seriously, cause it would totally like suck. A roving mob of women who survived finally find you......the only man still alive after the catastophe....and you're all, uh, sorry, but I'm no longer fertile. After they collectively sighed they'd all freaking just eat you or hook a damn harnass to you and keep you in a cage and make you the pack mule. And you'd be all WWWHHHYYYYYYYYYYY????!!!!

I see the doctor tomorrow, but I wanted to hear from anyone who actually has had the procedure done.

Consultation? That's great. The doc just told me to lie down, snip snip and I walked out of his office.

Okay, what's the worst that could happen? Other than a little infection and gangrene?

Just kidding, but not really.

Anyway enough fear mongering and on to the important info...

For three weeks after you get your balls whacked DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO GET AN ERECTION! You can tear the internal stitches and your scrotum will inflate with blood and look like one of those playground balls. You will have to go to the ER wearing nothing but a sheet because you won't fit in your underwear anymore. That's all the advice I can offer. Good luck.

Vasectomy and dementia?

I don't really see any hard numbers in there...


It's an early study, and this is also an ABSTRACT of the research paper. (It baffles me how so many anandtechers are research illiterate...) If you want to see those hard numbers, then you need to have access to pubmed. If it's published, that means it's peer-reviewed and the numbers have passed muster (pun intended). Whether or not you, or some other scientist agrees with those numbers, is an entirely different matter.

I tend to remain sceptical pending further research ;)

BS, I was having sex within 2 weeks. Just put a bag of frozen peas on your sack the first day, no heavy lifting for a week or so.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers at 4:45 central time. :p Probing, poking, and maybe a little yanking will be going on then.

Besides which, I have no idea how that would even be remotely possible for me to do.

I had to shave my own sac and didnt even get an old hag to do it. But, on the flip side, the nurse was good looking and got to watch me get a bit nervous on the table. It was over pretty quick and I had basically no discomfort whatsoever. I actually read a magazine while they were clipping the tubes.

As for quantity, I did notice a definite decease in man-juice, but my wife doesnt seem to mind, so I guess all is good.

Most doctors want to give you a consult to make sure you are really ready to do this. If you are 18 I would imagine that a doctor would do a hell of a sell job to not let you get it. All I said was " I am 40 and I just had my second child. Start cutting!"

Recovery was a piece of cake. Nice and easy.


Peace
