The V Word... need some help

[Special K]

Thanks, Keeastman - this physician friend of yours... he is not in the Cincinnati area, is he?
that is decidedly F'd up!

Nah, you're safe, he currently practices in Idaho.

By the way, I forgot the most important thing: congrats on your 3 healthy children!! What a blessing I can't wait to have some of my own.

Seriously though, good luck. I understand you're nervous, but if you have a good doc you trust, I'm sure you'll be just fine.

Dayum - hope your husband knows when to keep his mouth shut!

Meh, I bark louder than I bite. I might throw a ****fit here and there, but I would never hit or kick him, lol.

Here is what is going to be funny -
In a small percentage of men, it reverse itself over 20 to 25 years. The body "Heals itself". The younger you are, the more likely it will heal itself...

You are going to party it up then at 42 your going to find yourself a daddy.....

Have them tie it off,remove a section and cauterize them to insure against that.(not reversible)

You also are supposed to have the count checked yrly to be 100% sure

Sarcase, I got your eunuch hanging

ive heard it is an out patient procedure and it only takes a few days to heal up. you have to "finish" a few times before you are actually shooting blanks but I know of a few men who had it done and never had any problems or side effects.

I have heard it takes like 150 times before it actually works.

No problem,tell your significant other it's now time to show their appreciation.

I think 200 might be better...just to be sure

My old man started dating a chic close to my age and had this done. He asked me to pick him up after surgury and was high as a kite when I picked him up. Other then a couple days of pain he was fine after it. Good luck brother, personally if she can't have any more kids due to scar tissue if your faithful to her why the hell would you get this done? What's the point? If your a tom cat messing around then I completely understand wanting this to get done. But considering I don't know you or judge you, if she can't have any babies then you doing that seems like overkill to me and makes you look guilty

Guilty of what? wanting to have careless sex with his wife?

I know eactly where he is coming from and it's for is wifes health.

We should have a ES get snipped party weekend.

Someone explain this to me:
-Why is it always the man? What about the woman getting her tubes tied?

Well getting tubes tied is extremely invasive surgery. While a vasectomy is an outpatient procedure that can be reversed much easier.

Plus the costs between the two are huge.

That's a very valid point, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Here's what I don't get (for those of you that have had it done):

What if, heaven forbid, your wife meets an untimely end and you re-marry a woman that would also like a family andf you hadn't stockpiled any of your baby juice? Wouldn't that be something to worry about?

I would never let anyone cut my balls off.

Errr, that's not what the procedure does

Seems like you're really limiting your options then, IMO. My kids are my world but, if something were to happen with my current family, I'd at least want the ability to have another.

Then I wouldn't suggest it for you,I don't feel having more would make up for the loss anyway.

Plenty of kids out there to adopt if you desired..

[DaveMason]

I would be devastated if that happened, and really wouldn't have any desire to start over. That's cool that you already have a Plan B, though, just in case there is a series of tragic deaths.

Still, a vasectomy can be potentially reversed. Plus there's adoption, or purchasing Joe Gibbs' sperm off of ebay. So there are plenty of options as far as having more kids.

[twa]

Yep, besides it is fast reaching the point you could still have more if you wish

Just not as much fun in the process
