Anybody here got a vasectomy?

Vasectomy trip report...

Orange

[heater]

Technically I had one when I had a hernia when I was four and the operation didn't go exactly as planned. I can't tell you much about it except that it really [censored] with your head when adults decide to explain to you at ten years old that you can't have kids.

I was going to post more about this in the "Do you want children?" thread but got lazy when I realized how long the description of this trauma would be.

The ability to have an erection and an orgasm with a pleasant ejaculation do not seem to be affected unless one suffers from post-vasectomy pain. Because the sperm-filled fluid from the testes makes up only about 10% of an ejaculation, vasectomy does not seem to significantly affect the volume, appearance, texture or taste of the ejaculate.

Getting a vasectomy is not a big deal at all, I was surprised how easy it was. Could even drive myself home after the operation.

Getting a vasectomy for the reasons you list though is asinine.

<font color="purple">And before you have one they will schedule a counseling session first, to discuss your reasons for wanting one. They will try to talk you out of it, and at your age, they're right to do so. The reversal process is ten times more difficult and rarley ever works.

Think about it like this : YOU'LL STILL HAVE TO WEAR A CONDOM IN YOUR SITUATION TO PROTECT YOU BOTH FROM DISEASES, SO WHY BOTHER WITH A VASECTOMY SINCE YOU'LL STILL HAVE TO WEAR THE CONDOM ANY DAMN WAY??</font>

I'm just wondering about it. Being a broke student the worst thing that could happen to me is get a girl pregnant. It would pretty much kill me and lead me to a life of low wage work with all my dreams pretty much tucked away. I will need a couple more years to finish my studies and get financial stability but in those years a mistake/unfortunate event could happen, the chances are too great!

1. I read of permanent pain after the vasectomy, is this rare? will you be able to function normally after one?
2. If you have insurance in your job would they pay for such a thing? if not how much does it cost?
3. how long does the operation take? how difficult of a procedure is this?

just curious, are you still a virgin? i got a serious virgin vibe when i read this.

edit: any dude who has sex would have mentioned the added pleasure of not wearing a condom.

So, you get a vasectomy and then down the line you fall in love, get married and want kids. Then what. Reverse vasectomies don't always work. If you do go through with this make damn sure you get some of your ejactulation frozen so you can have YOUR OWN KIDS some day.

You are seriously overthinking this.
