Vasectomy

I am considering it... we will see.
My biggest fear was the pain and the thought of needles. I’ve had some IV’s for some medical procedures that hurt way more than the little tiny needle they used for the vasectomy. Virtually no pain involved.
 
This was embarrassing for me as well. My doc explained I needed to provide a "fresh" sample, less than 15 minutes old. I lived 20 minutes from the lab which meant I had to deal with it on the spot. I had to request a specimen jar ("which kind?" I was asked in an overly loud voice in a rather full waiting room). I took it to the men's room to discover it was a single stall and the door didn't close well, leaving a nearly 1" gap. So there I was trying to cum in a less-than-private place as guys came in to use the urinal right next to the stall. Very awkward (and this was before cell phones with internet so I didn't even have porn to watch.) It was so uncomfortable I didn't return to do a second verification (the first sample was fine but they suggested I do it twice to be sure.)

they didn’t even have a private room for you to do it in? I can honestly masturbate anywhere but in that situation I might get stage fright
 
Anyone that is considering a vasectomy should google "no scalpel vasectomy" first and find a doctor that does them. It's a much easier/better procedure than the conventional method that a lot of doctors still use. They make a small 1/4" puncture at the top of your nut sack under your dick and do everything through that opening. So there are no sutures and the small opening that they do make is covered by your dick, so there is essentially no pain or irritation from it afterwards. It's a lot better than having both sides of your scrotum cut open and sutured, and has about 90% less complications too. Check it out.

I should also add that I often times joke that "it was the best day of my life" because for me, having sex without any fear of pregnancy was a super liberating feeling, and not having to deal with condoms or birth control has been awesome. I'm much better in bed as a result.

that’s what I had done, awake the whole time just some local freezing. I was out have a coffee with my buddy was just done too and hour after. I can’t even find the marks now.
 
I had the same no-scalpel procedure done as well. Quick with an easy recovery. The only discomfort was the smallest prick from the lidocaine local numbing agent and that was as minor as it comes.

It’s on the calendar for mid-December... any advice leading up to it or for the healing process? I’m not going to lie, being a couch potato for 2 days is kind of appealing right now! Thinking about getting some chemical ice packs rather than frozen peas. Any advice or well wishes would be appreciated!

I had a vasectomy at age 37. It was a very quick procedure. My advice would be to listen to your doctor and follow his recommendations to the letter. I did not have any problems or complications. I wish you the best.

(I’m also a bit surprised I didn’t see another post on the topic... sorry if one exists)

Check back and I’ll give you a status after the procedure!

This is exactly what I’m doing. It was a no brainer to choose this method.
 
The doc said I was able to have a beer after as well, so I did. Lol. I forgot about the fresh samples. Luckily there was a park fairly close so I could hit the bathroom and handle that. But walking in with a brown bag carrying my sample felt awkward since it was in a residential/business area. I'm sure the local businesses see us out the window like, there goes another one dropping off the kids. Lol.
 
I had mine in March. I held a conversation with the doctor and assistant ( the doctors wife) the entire time. I felt so good the next day I made the mistake of going to a trampoline park with my kids (don’t do that). The next week after was spent with a jock on 24/7 and ice packs at night. The procedure is quick and if you follow the recovery directions all will work out.

Ha! Trampoline parks pull muscles you didn’t know you had anytime you go... that definitely was a mistake!

That's funny I'm going in on the 9th of December!!
 
You gettin’ excited, @Str8strokinbud?

Still recovering from mine almost two weeks ago.
Let’s hope you recover soon... 2 weeks sounds like a long time! I am looking forward to it though and not having to worry about more kids!

I’m getting over it. Just didn’t heal like it should’ve. I’m 90% now and getting better every day. Will be lifting again this weekend.

Dude, I had mine done last Friday 29th - easiest thing ever.

I went with the No-Scalpel method. I was in and out in less than an hour. Healing has been straight forward, no pain at all, more a dull ache. Nothing that needed anything more than a couple of ibuprofen. I've been following the doctor's recommendations to the letter, spent 2 days doing fuck all - on the third day I showered and went back to work - again, it was tender but nothing major and now (Day 5) that dull ache is all but gone.

The keyhole is healing well, still sore to the touch (so don't touch it). My Dr told me it would be about 2 - 3 weeks before the ache was gone completely and the keyhole pretty much completely healed.

No sex or masturbation for 7 days and I've got to ejaculate 30 times at least over the next 16 weeks to ensure the pipes are completely cleared of seamen. The Dr made a point of telling me not to try and do 30 times in one day.

anyway fella - let me know if you have any questions - but it's really straight forward.

Yup. Sounds like my doc. No scalpel. Recovery has been ok...they make it seem quicker than it actually was for me. I went back to boxers too soon and ended up with a little infection.

My recommendation: definitely take it easy. Wear support. Interestingly, my doc told me to stop wearing a bandaid...I was still putting one on after a week. He said that can actually keep it from drying out and healing. Check with your doc on that.
