    I am getting snipped in 23 hours and counting.

    The wife and I have two kids and don't want anymore so I not worried about changing my mind on it down the road.

    And it is supposedly a pretty minor procedure so I shouldn't worry about too much pain or anything. But I do a little. It is just something about giving up your man parts (well the part of your man parts that make your man parts anyways). I know it is silly but we are biologically wired to want to keep the sperm.

    Can anyone who has had this procedure done calm my fears (which aren't huge - but are bigger then I thought they would be)?

    I just did it for round one weekend of March Madness. It really wasn't a big deal, it took less than 15 minutes for the actual procedure. I took it easy that day and the next, and then went back to normal routine. I was playing basketball a week later and not even thinking about it. You'll just be uncomfortable for a few days. :)

    And I think it was more about burning than snipping. Good luck!

    Ha ha, yeah, that was pretty much my pre-procedure thought.

    I did it about 5 years ago. Like ant said, it was nothing. Quick procedure, short "recovery", no real downtime--every guy should do it once they're done procreating. The idea some have that it somehow reduces ones masculinity is silly.

    Some on here should do it before attempting to procreate.

    Been there. If you don't mind your scrotum turning black for several days, it's a fun time. Once it's healed you'll never think of it again.

    I'm either sterile or have the withdrawal method down pat. Guess we will find out in a couple years.

    Me me me me me me me me me. If you saw my nieces you'd think otherwise, they're amazing. I'm 7 years older than my brother, wish it was the other way around. Could have shown girls pictures of them and said "you too could have kids like this"

    How does one go about it? Ask a regular doctor or go to a specialist or just ask my insurance provider?

    Save money, get a back-alley vasectomy. Bring a sharp knife and a bottle of whisky.

    Nope. Wifey still doesn't want kids yet. She says we can try in a year or two.

    Every girl I've dated and boned, I've raw dogged it and used the withdrawal method. Never gotten anyone pregnant (they have been on and off birth control). Hence why I said I might be sterile, or I'm a pro at withdrawal.

    Speaking of withdrawal, I think it's much more effective than they teach you in school.

    Ask your regular doctor to refer you to someone. With most (maybe even all) insurance plans it is free. Cheaper for them then you making your wife pop out kids and them having to cover the hospital bills.

    As always, you first. You really need a second try just to make sure it took.

    Also, it's good to run with scissors, no need to look both ways, and it's still fun even after someone gets their eye poked out.

    Can't say for sure someone is living proof of any of what you said is true.

    Withdrawal method though. Been working for me and I'm almost 30.

    Deal with it. :cool2:

    You could just be shooting blanks, although I'd read where the most likely scenario to get a woman pregnant is if you had some leftover inside that were let go within 24 hours. Or something like that.

    Yeah I've read that too. Which is why I think the withdrawal method is much more effective than they teach in schools.
