Vasectomy - yes or no?

[enriquegill012]

Well, I believe in proper family planning. There are a lot of options to do this. I may agree with vasectomy but I think there are other options to choose from. Good luck!

Let's hear the other options!

As far as I know, the options are as follows: Condoms (I HATE them so much I am considering letting some stranger stick a knife into my balls to avoid using them); tubal ligation for the woman (I would probably not ask this of any woman unless it was incidental to other needed surgery because it is invasive and certainly would not ask it of a childless woman still in child bearing years); IUDs (Maybe. But they seem to be associated with lots of problems.); Diaphram (pain in the ass to use, even less romantic than a condom, and not super effective, but they don't impair sensitivity so a possibility); the pill (the best solution IF the side effects are not a problem for the woman.); Coitus interruptus (Ummm . . .no.); The rhythm method (not reliable enough).

Am I missing anything?

That's pretty much what it comes down to. If you don't want anymore kids, the procedure effects you far less than a woman and sex doesn't change. It was a no brainer for me.

And you don't have to worry about a woman aborting your child regardless of what you want.

No, they don't cut any nerves unless they really screw it up. They cut the tiny little duct called the vas deferens that feeds a tiny bit of sperm into a large volume of other stuff.

This, they are just cutting away the delivery tubes



But your concern is my main concern. The sperm gets reabsorbed by the body and often results in the body developing anti-bodies to your own sperm. That's what scares me. I don't want to trigger some kind of immune funkiness.[/QUOTE]

Do you have any auto immune disease? even the minor one? if no, then that alone greatly reduces your chances of having an autoimmune disease. Also unless you sex regularly or masturbate a lot, your body already absorbs a good amount of sperm. I think on average it refreshes your load every 2-3 days. Also it shouldn't affect your testosterone levels cos it is produced in the testicles and they don't cut the testicles during vasectomy.

I would weight how good my pullout game is against my desire not to have a child before making that decision. For me right now, my desire for having a child is very high so getting a vasectomy is not something that is anywhere on my radar.

Got this from an article titled
Why Vasectomy Should be Your Last Option as a Birth Control Method

Vasectomy Complications
As with all surgical procedures, pain, infection, bruising and bleeding are the most common short-term complications associated with vasectomy. Blood may pool in the scrotum creating a hematoma (blood collection due to injury). The hematoma increases the risk for infection. But the infection is not a larger than life problem because effective antibiotics are only a prescription away. You can take analgesics to keep away the pain.

Long-term complications of vasectomy include post-vasectomy pain syndrome and dementia. Post vasectomy pain syndrome prevalence is approximately 5% (one case reported in 20 vasectomies). The pain involves the testicles and epididymis and occurs only after certain activities such as ejaculation or physical activities.
Vasectomy Reversal Rate
Although men having vasectomy are largely comfortable with the procedure, an event that was not anticipated may occur and necessitate the reversal of the procedure. A vasectomy reversal surgery must be done in the hospital, but the success rate of this surgery is pretty low. Done within ten years of the vasectomy, the reversal surgery success rate is 55%. In other words, only half of the men get to enjoy the success of the reversal procedure. If done after ten years of the vasectomy, the success rate drops to 25%. It is advisable that men freeze some sperm before vasectomy so they won’t regret if a much-needed reversal fails.
Correcting Misunderstandings
Vasectomy DOES NOT:
• Decrease sex drive
• Affect sexual performance
• Cause a man to become weak, less masculine, or less productive
• Cause any diseases later in life
• Prevent the transmission of STIs, including HIV

Doesn't sound that scary if you asked me.

IUD? I'm not all that familiar, but I know they're effective. I'd go with the pill over that though.

Just don't frick in the front hole.

When they analyzed the data, the team found a 10% overall increased risk of prostate cancer in those men who had a vasectomy.
However, further analysis found vasectomy was linked to a stronger increased risk of more aggressive forms of prostate cancer: a 19% higher risk for advanced cancer and a 20% higher risk of the lethal form.

Um, yeah. A great reason to not get one. I'm sure Zippy can tell us why we shouldn't be worried, but I wouldn't risk it.

If you want kids... No.

If you don't want kids... Sure, I guess. Like, if you don't feel birth control is effective enough to prevent pregnancy then yeah, sure. If you are worried about regret just freeze some of your sperm.

I don't know what your motives are. Do what you feel is right, but also have a back-out plan.

Thanks for the laugh Danke... I'm sure wife will love that one lol

Just don't frick in the front hole.

Personally, I will pass on ever getting a vasectomy.

FYI- 1 in 100 fail! My ex-wife talked her new fool into getting a vasectomy and it didn't work! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love karma.

I would advise against any surgery that isnt necessary.. and personally on top of that I wouldnt do it myself.

Well, don't. Your advice comes about 20 years too late for me.

Funniest thread you'll ever read on vasectomy:

Your kind has a dark sense of humor.

I . . . um . . . what?

 

[Jamesiv1]

my question is: do they cut the nerves associated with ejaculation as well? or if they dont, is it traumatic or damaging to have an orgasm.. meaning, does the body still stimulate sperm to move through the vas deferens? and if so does it cause high pressure in the vas deferens that could be problematic? since it has nowhere to go..

A vasectomy is snipping and tying off the vas deferens, which is a tiny tube that the sperm swim through from the testicles to the base of the penis. The prostate gland produces an alkaline fluid called semen (also called seminal fluid or prostatic fluid) which during ejaculation, carries the sperm to the promised land.

No nerves cut, no impact on orgasm, testicles still produce sperm but they get absorbed, no high pressure in vas deferens. Your love juice no longer has sperm in it, that's all.

I don't know about the increased cancer risk - I've never heard about that. I would consult with some medical professionals about that particular issue. Try to find doctors that do not make their living from doing vasectomies.

Ahem. Yes, I am 58. New girlfriend is . . . not 58.

Taking some lessons from myself, I see..

IUD? I'm not all that familiar, but I know they're effective. I'd go with the pill over that though.

They have some new IUDs that are supposed to be less problematic than they used to be, less invasive and I think are mostly plastic (used to be copper or some such).
