No pain during procedure - you are out beforehand. They used sodium pentathol or sim. so that you are "out of it", with no pain, yet you can cooperate, ie: move and get onto the gurney, etc. when they tell you to, without remembering anything after.
No regrets at all!!! I recommend it to all my friends. Do you have ANY IDEA how big a difference 3 kids are vs. 2???? REALLY?!?! My buddy has 3 and I haven't gone fishing with him or had beers with him more than once or twice in over a year since he had his third. Completely different deal. You have to worry about this until you are snipped. If you are done, you are done. There is nothing unmanly about having it done and there is no difference afterwards, except it isn't like tapioca lumps if it sits in there for a few days before spewage.
Same spermy taste, now with no LUMPS!
Really, just go and do it, no big deal.
Sage words of advice to NOT IGNORE under penalty of pain and suffering:
- Buy jock strap first and have it on for the first week solid at least. (I should have used it with the cup b/c the tots I have had radar for the sack it seemed - they didn't get to it, but I was uncomfortably on my guard for a while)
- Lie down for two days and ice the area as much as possible.
- Take ibu's or aleve or something to help it heal faster.
People who don't lie on the couch for a couple days, but who try to prove manhood by re-shingling the roof the next day, end up taking weeks or months to recover. If you rent some dvd's, buy a bunch of snacks, be a bum for a couple days (wohoo!) then the initial surgery will have a chance to repair and you will be fine as long as you keep jock on for a week or two. The trick is (and that is what the jock is for) to not let them hang and swing and tear and hurt themselves until healed.
Again - not a big deal - no real pain and now can have sex whenever with no worries, etc. etc. and no more setting the "18 years till no kids in the house" clock again...
