No way in hell am I getting sharp objects near my junk. Lol

Ehhh, for a sec I read this thread as The ol' nip-slip.
How disappointing.
- garbage-1
Gotta be honest, this whole thread is so foreign to me. I lack all paternal instinct, and have never wanted nor will ever have a kid. Dogs are more than enough, and thankfully the lady of the house shares these sentiments. She's on that good ol' Beta Carotene, so my scoundrel can run wild.
But yeah, different strokes for different folks. I'm sure your kids are wonderful, but that's not my bag at all.
- snip your junk anyway. just for fun. you deserve it. Kidding, i'm with you on this. Being a parent was never in my future visions, nor my girlfriends either.capn_ron
- lol. Yeah, she is asking for a cat now, and even that is toeing the line for me.garbage
- get her the fkn cat!sea_sea
- I only like about one out of every ten cats! What if we get a baddie?garbage

One thing to note...[apparently] getting the snip is a massive subconscious signal to your partner that you can't 'provide' anymore...it makes you surplus to requirements....then comes the inevitable slow down in, well, you get it...just saying.
- < We have 3 Kids. This is what I think would happen to me / us if I ever got "snipped".riskunlogic
- this seals it, fuck that shit lol_niko
- Hell no! With no worries, we have it far more, and more spontaneous. Sounds like you're reading internet forums.ETM

I have three kids and had it done just over a year ago. The only part that was uncomfortable was the needle in the bag, other than that it was pretty smooth sailing. Just look down and watch the doc pull out the cord, snip it and cauterize both ends. Was cool to see.
Although, the doctor let the student nurse sew up the left side and she made a mess of it. No bag modeling for me anymore.
- can you share any pics?fadein11

regarding potential complications (hopefully no one will experience them)

I am debating it now. I want to and I think I will. And definitely 100% going the no scalpel approach. My insurance covers it 100% (at least i should have my job for the next month or so, serious crap going on at the office, so not sure how long i will have a job or insurance). I have 2 of the most amazing kids I could have imagined, but at 44 (almost 45) I AM DONE. And my wife who is 38 is also DONE.

I googled stuff, and vasectomies are covered by insurance, because less babies means less money spent by the insurance company
I also googled cryo-freezing sperm, and it costs $$$. It's $500-700 for the extraction and initial freezing. *you still have to do the extraction yourself, which is bullshit* and then it's $300-500 a year for storage.
If you want to get sperm extracted with tubes AFTER your vasectomy, it's called ICSI and it costs $3-10k, NOT covered by insurance. Your lady also has to get in vitro fertilized, which is a process and costs another $10k, unless you just wanted your semen to hold onto.
In vitro fertilization mostly is NOT covered by insurance, and neither is vasectomy reversal.

Did it...quick procedure at the doc's office. Took several tests afterwards for motility - those little buggers kept showing up.
Waited 6 months and took the test again, and sure enough I was still in a position to be a father. Turns out, the tubes had 're-canalized'..so I had to go back and have the procedure done again....only this time under anesthetic!
...and yes, it's super painful

My wife and I have 2 kids and we are done for sure. Does insurance cover the cost? how much is it?
The idea of recovering in bed, watching tv and not having any kid responsibility for 24+ hours sounds like a perk to me ha.

My five year old son punches me in the eggbag at least once a day, so I'm pretty sure my death star is not fully operational.

I know it's rare but I've read about cases where you have constant pain down there..which as we all know is the worst kind of pain
and also about guys not being able to get an erection, but i'm guessing this is psychological plus there's plenty of pills for that ;)

10/10 would recommend. Went the no-scalpel route. It's totally fine. Quick, easy. Was uncomfortable the rest of the day, roughly the same as a mild headache.
Was really looking forward to the downtime after, but then my wife got called into work, leaving me to take care of the kids by myself instead of icing my balls. That was bullshit. Everything else was fine though.

Just had it done in Nov. Got a 5.5 y/o and twin 3 y/os. At the beginning my wife was like, "Fuck no, I'll take care of it if we goof up and I get pregnant again." Then after the lil fuckers got out of the nursing stage, and waking up a hundred and fifty times a night. She changed her tune to, "I don't think I could have an abortion if it happened." Quickly I realized that it was on me to make sure we couldn't fuck up our lives any further with a fourth kid.
Easy peasy. Took 10 minutes and I went the Man Route with scalpels and blow torches to get it done - not this new fangled hippy dippy bullshit mg33 did. Working out the same day.. fuck that, I have three wild ass wolverines for children. I told the misses to tell them I was on a work trip and then I hung out (hid) in our bedroom watching movies. Best 24 hours (since the twins were born) of my life.
- LOL - Man, I'd already had a week of bedrest last year when I had toe surgery. I wasn't about to lay around for another few days again.mg33
- ^ Damn straight. One week of laying about once a decade, I say. No more, no less.ETM
- LOL at "wild ass wolverines." An afternoon hiding out in our bedroom sounds glorious about now.nocomply

Why exactly can I not survive without it?
