Five Things Every Man Considering A Vasectomy Should Know
1. You Keep Your Balls
You’re not being castrated and everything remains intact (for the most part) and in place. Your dick will also remain in place and untouched (which sounds sad, but is a good thing in this instance).
2. Your Balls Are Still Attached
Your balls are attached to your body by a collection of veins and arteries and connective tissue. Disconnecting the vas deferens won’t cause your balls to just float around freely in your sack.
3. It’s A “Procedure”
A vasectomy is an out patient procedure, and not a full blown operation. You get a local anesthetic (with a very small needle) in the area surrounding the operation. Once numbed, a very small incision is made in the scrotum and a short section of the vas deferens is pulled out in a loop. Then the small section is cut and removed and the ends tied off (and/or cauterized with a small electrical zap). Boom. That’s it. It takes twenty to thirty minutes and you just walk out of the doctors office. Well, perhaps you waddle a bit, but you can just leave.
4. You Can Still Ejaculate Normally
Sperm cells make up a very small portion of your man chowder. You will still ejaculate the same with no noticable difference. Or it might be noticable if you are the type to look really, really close. Ya weirdo.
5. You Can’t Have Sex Immediately After
Aside from waiting a bit after the procedure to heal up, you still have “air traffic” lined up on the “runway” prepared for “takeoff” after the vasectomy. The vas deferens is a rather long tube and it will take a couble of ejaculations (about 15 to 20) to “flush the pipes”. So prepare to set aside an afternoon.
So, now you know. And knowing is half the battle. G. I. GOT A VASECTOMY!!!!!!

So by “You Can’t Have Sex Immediately After” you really mean “You Can Still Conceive Immediately After”? I presume that the other necessary functions for having sex remain intact (although any lingering pain from the procedure may be a deterrent).
Also, 15-20??? I would think that (in most cases) the remaining sperm would simply die off first.

Well, the pamphlets say about 10, the doctor said about 15 and to go 20 for good measure. BUT, even at 20, they said I still shouldn’t have sex until at least three weeks later (one week to recuperate, then two more weeks after) after having my sperm count verified.

My doc recommnded (teenager class masturbation), but he was less clear on the timing…I was done being sore, thought I was healed, and…oochie.

You keep your balls?! Thats just cruel, thats like saying “Here’s you car keys, here’s your car, we removed the gas tank so you can’t use it anymore. cya.”. So now you’ve had a vasectomy, does that mean you have to give up stuff like Xbox 360, watching Wrestling and other sports? Does beer taste the same? Do Macs look like a more sensible computer to buy? (Joking).
