Thing is, I'd always be worried that you'd get one of those surgeons who's had a bad day, takes it out on you, and just doesn't know when to stop cutting

^This, btw, is in poor taste. Oh well.

Greg, you're my Dad's age. Have you or would you get the snip?

No thank you, appealing as it sounds to have someone slicing open my scrotum, yanking my tubes out and chopping through them.

Nor is it a failsafe procedure. Re-canalisation.

They did mention this as a possibility when I had mine, though they said that the likelihood in almost all cases was that the lab who did the original tests was negligent.

Reading Gregs post reminded me of Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park.

I propose a great british bike bake off. If TWH's op goes less well than planned you could try this recipe :shock:

msmancunia

Ha - I've had them once but never again. Quite easy to cook though.

I do like their choice of wording in the recipe though.... Toss the sliced testicles in the flour hehe

Wow, I made msmancunia laugh without having to try to tickle her a couple of times. See DDD two test tickles are not always required to be a winner with the ladies

She's a Man Shitty fan.

Do you want to see my barge pole?

Up until this point I thought I'd prefer to have a meal cooked by MSM than DDD. Now I'm too scared. :shock:

Hah hah - feels like it !!! Got the letter, said phone up, so I did, then "oh the doctor is free". Only about a 3-4 week wait at my Trust for these 'things'. It's a local clinic that just chops mens balls off ! :shock:

Don't want to scare you, but...When I was gelded they made a complete mess off the local anaesthetic, which resulted in me gripping the edges of the bed, tears popping through my clenched eyes as what felt like a hacksaw blade hacked into me. Then the crochet needle is inserted to tug at your tubes, which seem to be connected to something in the back of your skull. You'll then spend days with a bag that appears to be full of burst tomato's and p1ss blood for about a week.


Other than that it's ok.

This actually made me feel a bit ill!

Just read this entire thread and i am blissed off my chunk. DDD's posts are the gifts that just keep giving, awwww.

Anyway.......I had the chop 8 years ago when I was 33. I had 3 children by then and that was our family complete.
After the op, if you can just lay up for a couple of days, watch DVD's, game, read and troll on forums etc all good, those days of inactivity will be excellent for healing up very quickly.

Then you have the joy of emptying your reserves and getting re-tested. No worries, all clear and resume your sex life. Now alluding to DDD's opinion of lowered sex drive etc, in my experience it got a lot better. The responsibility of contraception melted away and my wife doesn't have to do the chemical tango or the pain and complications of a hysterectomy.
The only irony in my case is after my chop I got testicular cancer ( no link to vasectomy at all) and lost a ball, Chemo and a biopsy, so I am one of the most sterile men I know and shock/horror, still a fully functioning man. The best thing about being a bit older is that all my kids are at full time school and I do shift work, so me and Mrs Dmclite get "time" together through the day which is very healthy.
I'm not getting DDD's slant on things, he seems to be a bit of a whiny/Neanderthal/chauvinist/feminist/troll. Just my opinion, its only the net y'know. I'm from Bottom Bracket, so fire away.

Pi$$ off back to where you came from then!
You don't get to have a pop at me - although if I was hit I doubt I'd be injured by one of YOUR bullets. -(Edit, oh shit, that joke was related to your cancer, sorry).

Fair enough with your decision. I'm just not ready to think that way and don't think I ever will be. I'm horrified at the sheer thought of my ball sack being opened and my white tube being snipped. It bothered me so much I didn't really enjoy riding my bike - sitting on the saddle.

Seedless. Definitely the way forward.

Is that it ? Thats like going to a fireworks display and watching sparklers.............dissapointing.

Of course you're not. You've just started your family. When you and Mrs DDD agree that you've finished your family you may change your mind. Factor in the possible long term health impacts for Mrs DDD of the Pill and the undeniable nuisance of condoms and you may well agree that the nuclear option is the way to go.

Or have twins as numbers 3 and 4, then come back and tell me you don't want nuked...

Mrs TWH is returning to work after a long career break. We're ready to move on.

You and me both.

I think it's prospect of the shaving that I'm least looking forward to.


But then, you like that sort of thing.

msmancunia

Lol

You might not have to anyway. I had a "minor ladies op" in June and was told on no account to shave/wax/whatever beforehand as it can cause infection.

It's a requirement, shaving. Wife seemed unusually keen to sit & chat with me when i was in the bath tidying everything up.

I still reckon DDD's still in the mindset of wanting to be able to produce. A few years of teenagers being round the house will probably change his view.

UndercoverElephant

Another benefit of the more laparoscopic procedure I had was that you only had to shave if you were a wookie, which I'm not.

What if she likes condoms "less mess"?

I get what you're saying, I've had the early signs of the conversation. Too busy to remember the pill, the coil too intrusive, the implant could be lost - not sure how, too much 'This Morning'. I've heard the reasons and sitting there biting open a box of 12, then ripping open the foil packet, rolling it on (always a little tight - damn European market), then applying stuff and an apparatus... (have you seen the boots display - soft porn surely) its easier to install Windows...

But using Condoms is my compromise. I don't see how or why if I can't expect her to take a type of contraception, she can expect a more permanent solution to be done to me?

Oh and for the record, she wouldn't want me 'done'. What if something happened and I wanted more kids - her words.

But there is the pill, the injection, the implant, condoms, the coil... why are men taking responsibility for contraception and being typical men at that, and taking it to the extreme. 50inch TV when a 28 did fine 10yrs ago. Getting the snip when timing it with phases of the moon works just as well...

I was recently put onto the pill by my GP (new relationship and all) and it was the most horrendous two weeks I have had to deal with in a long time. Up one minute and crazy depressed the next to the point of busting into tears and wanting to kill myself for no reason! The injection or implant would also have the same effect just for three months at a time!
