I say you done right to hold on to your parts. In this so-called civilised world we surely don't need to be chopping ourselves about like the ancient Egyptians just to maintain one part of good family life. A man need not have major surgery just to avoid the possiblity of children; unless he is determined to have sex every day of every month of his life, (in which case it may not be a vasectomy that he needs but rather a restraining order). Most people abstain from sex during a gals period, and we seem to cope with that ok. There is approximately 2 weeks in every womans life where she can't get pregnant at all! It goes like this, 1. Period; lasts 4-6 days. 2. Ovulate; between 7-12 days after period ends, and 14 days before next period starts. 3. between ovulation and next period = no possiblity of pregnancy. That adds up to 28 or 30 days in total(depending) during which there should be about 10 days in every month to love it up freely without pills or plastic or any fear of pregnancy. I kind-of like it. Ok so you might be saying, 'not now love, how about next week', but I would have thought that's better than 'not now love, how about 2-5 years time?' or 'not now love, I'm swelled up like a melon'.

I'd been on the Pill for several years and thought it was great, being able to ditch these hormones with all their side effects and stuff. But ...he just had very little libido (and I don't think it had anything to do with me, honest!)and I'd have hardly needed the Pill anyway; he also said that he hadn't always been like that ...

Wish I'd legged it. Now well over a week and I am still off work with a badly swollen scrotum. Erections are excruciating and I am trying to find a source for saltpetre or organic bromides. I can't ever imagine wanting sex again, and like you, MikeB am comtemplating going the whole hog and getting castrated. I have negotiated a platonic friendship with my g/f but am under no illusion that I haven't wrecked the relationship. She doesn't really want a eunuch as a partner. I am ABSOLUTELY LIVID with the medical liars who made this sound oh so very easy. Val, I can tell you. Yes there's no condom BUT THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT. Guys. If your wife or girlfriend mentions vasectomy - run!! Run for the hills. fLEE FOR YOUR LIFE (AND GOOLIES!) The fact that this atrocity of a procedure is still being done only testifies to the lack of value or society places on males. Brad the Angry Eunuch Bruce,

Notwithstanding ethics etc, here are some comments regarding procedure... Absolute doddle...no scalpel technique so the most unsettling aspect was the high-pitched beep made by the thermal knife thingy. Dr fiddles to find Vas Def under skin (odd but no pain or discomfort, local into the Vas Def (NOT the testicle) which was no more painful than a jab in the arm and LESS painful than a jab in the gums by a dentist. 2 minutes later, tiny (less than 5 mm long)cut in underside of scrotum, no pain, just irritating beep from machine. Slight odd sensation in tummy as Dr eased out the Vas Def and then cut and cauterised. Must emphasise NO pain at all other than the local injection (for only a second or two. There are no stiches as the cut in the ball sack is so small, simply held together by Steristrips. Afterwards - no pain at all, simply a weird tingling/scratchy sensation as the local wore off. Obviously I'm not going to risk any running or mud-wrestling for a week or two - but I can not recommend this procedure enough. Just had it done yesterday (27th Dec 07)….

Of course, reversal can give a second thought. The main benefit is you can enjoy sex without condom, of course when you know the partner.
