Bloody hell. Apart from condoms, it's a choice between a woman buggering about with her homones or having a small coat hanger bunged up her bits, and you chaps losing a few bike rides, and you think the bike rides matter?

Apologies if I sound unsympathetic...

Get some perspective woman!

Is this some sort of male 'rites of passage' thing that's been kept quiet from me? My dad had his vasectomy done many years ago, people at work have talked about theirs, etc. I've never really felt the urge to go under the knife myself...just yet.

I expect that the Receptionist (the young pretty one) will remind you about the post-op sample. She will also tell you not to come on the bus or miss the tube.





Yes, I am getting my coat!

Getting signed up for mine soon, long overdue I have to say.

Make sure you counsel yourself properly before you have the op. They will present you with the paperwork minutes before doing the business and you have to be mentally prepared. Is it absolutely necessary? Are you prepared to lose your fertility for the rest of your life? Are you absolutely sure you don't want any more kids? And it can lower your emission volume (for want of a better description) for example. Be aware of the consequences. If you have any doubts or issues, sort them out before you attend.



P.S. Real men will play football in the park afterwards and be back on the bike the next day.

Thanks for the advice.

I've wanted to do this some 8 years ago but Mrs FF was uncertain, we're mid 40's with 3 kids already, it's enough! I think suddenly having a baby again would be a nightmare sceanio. I also have no macho associations with fertility or volumes.
Mrs FF is now comfortable with the idea. We've had plenty of time to mull it over, just need to get on with it.
I've finished screwing-up the gene pool.

So glad that this is one rite of passage I will not be required to take.

You sound like you have thought it through. Tbh it's not a macho association with fertility, more like a bereavement. Women obviously suffer the same if they have a sterilisation procedure or their reproductive parts removed for whatever reason with all the negative associations that attach themself (e.g. not all woman now, no longer fertile or desirable, etc.) and it's not really any different for men. The effect of this type of "emasculation" is different for each of us. However, I suspect for 90% of men they're just happy for the 'risk free' shag.

That's it, really, you've hit the nail on the head.

I was in exactly the same boat FF- 3 kids and mind made up etc... didnt get round to booking it quickly enough and lo anf behold then there were 4 ........ and yes nightmare scenario doesnt do it justice!! Still, he's 17 now - I'm about over it

I thought this was done pre-op ?

I thought this was done pre-op ?

I'm so glad I found this thread. No, really, I'm giving the subject some serious consideration but I have this absolute terror of medical procedures. I've never had a blood test in my life because even that is more than I can face. Is there a blood test involved? W*nking in the hospital bogs I can handle, but being spiked is another matter....

Trouble is, neither of us wants kids or has ever had any desire to have any but we're both pushing 40 and I'm going to get distinctly tetchy if we have to argue our case with the doc. Being told to go away and come back in a few years is going to deeply annoy me because we both hate condoms (who doesn't?) and pumping Baggy full of hormones isn't good either.

How easy is it to get done?

I have a Swiss Army knife and a Wiki article. Not sure about anaesthetic. Cheap Whisky?

Oh no. Not whisky.

There might just be enough gin in the local Sainsburys though...
