This seems logical to me since I already have a “perfect” 5 year old boy and a (pre-neutered) 1 year old male Brittany “puppy”, so there is plenty of extra testosterone around the house. Still, I am a bit reluctant. The “boys” and I have had a great run for over 40 years and we are still “going strong”. :)

As an extra incentive, my wife said, “If you get that for me for Christmas, that’s all I want.” Well, that is a heck of a lot less expensive than new diamond stud earrings! I am smart enough to realize that I will have to get her “something else” along with a snip, but this will make a pretty nice gift (I just need to figure out how to wrap it).

I am still a bit anxious about it, not the procedure per say, but the finality of it all. It’s definitely a milestone. Wish me luck.

Thanks,
William

Not that is was a determining factor but, boy, does Dr. Snip’s Website suck! With all the money I’m sure he’s making you’d think he’d redesign that circa 1995 piece of crap.

I remember after having gone through the process and was still able to walk, talk and yes even run I felt proud. But how do you tell someone what you have just experienced? I mean at social gatherings one can’t approach strangers and explain why you are walking with a slight limp.

Our bumper stickers and or lapel pin has opened the door to discussion and or broken the ice.

As far as the little cups, it takes weeks to get all the sperm out of your vas, so its not that possible to check and make sure you’re sterile before you leave the clinic.

Just remember to get your pain pills filled out BEFORE the operation. I have NEVER been in such pain when the local wore off.

The most frustrating thing was finding someone who would perform a vasectomy on fairly short notice–most clinics insisted on counseling and a mandatory waiting period. Seattle is fairly liberal compared to some other areas; in Virginia it is actually illegal to sterilize a childless male under a certain age.
