- “It”s not that bad. I would rate the pain of the procedure 4 points out of 10. The procedure was performed on Friday, the discomfort remained with me until Sunday.
The nurse was attractive, but there was nothing sexual about what was happening. She shaved my crotch — I shaved before the surgery but discovered that my hair needed to be even shorter.
My wife and I haven”t had sex for a week. When they started there was no pain. 12 weeks after using a condom. After 6 and 12 weeks I had to have a sperm test. After the first analysis, I discovered that there was still life in my sperm. But already the second test showed that the procedure works.
Sex is better than before. I don”t regret anything. However, some doctors may refuse to perform the procedure if the patient is under 30 years old. I was about 40 years old at the time, so there were no problems,” says gobigred3562.
- “I am 31 years old and recently had a vasectomy. I don’t have children, I don’t have a girlfriend, and I haven’t had sex for a long time. I asked my doctor about the procedure at my annual checkup several years ago. And so I decided.
The doctor asked me a few questions to make sure my decision was informed. That”s it.
If I suddenly decide to become a father, I will adopt a child. Adoption doesn”t work. I”m going to get a dog or another cat” — kuhzoo.
- “I had a vasectomy two years ago. Sexual satisfaction skyrocketed. Nothing beats worry-free sex. My wife is delighted too. I did not notice any changes in terms of sensations or sperm volume. The procedure itself was also almost painless,” haley_joel_osteen.
- “It felt like my balls were being crushed with a hammer and then torn from my body with a fishhook.
Oh wait. No, it was his divorce from his wife.
And the vasectomy caused me very little discomfort. I had some discomfort for a few days, but it was easily managed with painkillers. The only thing that scares you is the anticipation that someone is going to touch your man. And when that part is over, you are no longer afraid of anything.” JustPlainGross.
- “+1. Divorce was much worse than a vasectomy. But both are the best decisions of my life,” motorwerkx.
- “They gave me Valium and I fell asleep in the waiting room. Then they woke me up. The nurse complimented my smooth crotch. The doctor asked if I wanted to watch the process through a mirror. No.
I felt uneasy for a moment, but that was the end of it. The next day everything was great. However, I know people who have had bad luck with doctors. Please treat them responsibly. Find a good doctor,” as usual.

I don”t regret it” — Squeeums
- It wasn”t all that bad. Due to the anesthesia, I felt almost nothing. The rehabilitation period lasted three days. I had surgery on Friday and went back to work on Monday.

Although, probably, a lot still depends on the person’s pain threshold” — PrivetKalashnikov.

- “My sex life has not changed at all. Except that for two weeks after the operation I had to abstain from sex. No regrets at all. By the way, this even helped bring my ex into the open — she became pregnant and claimed that the child was mine. We had been in a relationship for three months at that time, and I had had a vasectomy two years before.
