Wife wants me to get snipped. We have two kids and she doesn’t want to go back on the pill which is fair enough. Using condoms with your wife is not great but it’s where I’m at so need to sort it really. I am somewhat worried as I’ve heard of people having issues afterwards like painful balls due to scarring, infections etc.
There must be some on here that have been done so can you tell me whether it is a good idea or not?

Thanks!

You'll cry like a baby when your nutsack is purple and aching like a sledgehammer has hit it.....

In fact, you will willingly sign a lifetime pledge to celibacy to make the pain go away.

I was converted to unleaded about 20 years ago. Was a little sore and swollen for 2 weeks after but it's no big deal for a lifetime of knowing you're a jaffa. As long as you're definitely definitely definitely not going to want any more kids with current lady, or any new relationship that you may move on to, then I say go for it.

My older sisters told me not to have it done at my age of 34. They thought I may divorce some day and maybe want kids with another.

They were right.

After the op I went back to manual work to soon and suffered for years after.

Nothing to it really.

Just get some practise in beforehand by having a bounce around on a Spacehopper with just one handle. wink

Seriously, I had no problems or issues.
I opted for just a local anaesthetic, and was back at work the following day.
There was some discomfort when the shaved area started to grow back.
It was like having sandpaper down my pants.

Oh, by the way, if she doesn't want any more children, make sure the milkman also has a vasectomy.

5 years ago for me. Absolutely not a problem, a bit tender for a day and that was it.

All the blokes in the waiting room have their legs crossed, all those in the recovery room have them wide apart.

Yep, about 15 years ago.

Actual op was ok, just an odd tugging sensation in the gut. I stared fixated at the ceiling while a couple of nurses tried to put me at ease by waffling on about did I watch the football last night etc etc.

Didn't feel any pain before or after, only issue was the so called dissolving stiches still hadn't dissolved nearly a week later, so had to go back to get them removed. There is something very exciting offputting about going into a portacabin and a Scarlet Johnannson lookeylikey nurse orders you to drop em and get on the couch while brandfishing a pair of tweezers. yikes She then got stuck into my ballbag with them...all over in 10 seconds whereupon I pulled my trousers back up and fled like a startled horse.

Another mate had it done, had no ill effects whtasoever and was playing Sunday league football barely 48 hours later.

Another was not so lucky, was in absolute agony afterwards for a couple of days and barely moved off the sofa expect to get some more ice to put in his improvised jock strap frown

As above, no big deal.
Sensible move if you value your partner's health.

I had mine done twice. They wouldn't let me in the waiting room the second time, in case I put the others off.

Had mine done privately rather than using the NHS conveyor belt system as advised by my Doctor.

No issues whatsoever, the only thing I felt was a slight tug each side when the tubes were pulled to be snipped and that was it. No bruising or swelling afterwards and no pain.

The worst bit was laying there fully exposed while being attended to by a lovely looking, young female nursing assistant.

I would advise you to shave yourself before you go, it will save a lot of embarrassment redface

Best thing I ever did.

Note, however, that they don’t tie a knot in the tubes.

They cauterise them with a soldering iron. So it’s a hiss, a wisp of smoke and the smell of crispy bacon.

Kinda puts you off having a bbq for a while.

They cut a piece out of mine and stitched. The reason they cut a piece out was to make sure the tubes were not long enough to join together again, which apparently does occasionally happen.

My Doctor said the NHS didn't do this when I had mine done, they opted for the quick snip and tie jobby.

Piece of p*ss. Very slightly tender about 2 days after the event. Took afternoon off work day of the deed, then straight back in the saddle.
