Bye bye boys!

Recommended Posts

So my wife and I have been contemplating having me take a big step...we've been thinking about me getting the ol' " snip snip" done,  ya know, bye bye li' swimmers: AKA a vasectomy. What guys have had it done? Did it hurt? I hesitate not because of the outcome of the procedure, but at the thought of having sharp pointy objects nipping at my sensitive bits down there. My wife has recently hit a milestone in her personal health, she has dropped nearly 100 lbs thus far (gastric sleave surgery). With her new found weight loss, we worry that her probability of getting pregnant goes up. We have a son together, and don't plan on having any additional children, so from a standpoint of permanent birth control, we are on the same page. I was just curious if any fellas here would care to share their experience with the procedure.

Afternoon,

 

I got snipped maybe 10 years ago. The procedure was fine and the pain was very manageable. I didn't take any pain meds, but I tend to stay away from all pharma products anyway. So, the pain was manageable without drugs. AND it provided an excuse to sit at home for 2-3 days and watch movies and be waited on. Actually, I was up and about the next day, but protective of the 'boys'.

 

I highly recommend this to anyone. Way less intrusive than the options for the ladies.

 

The procedure took less than 1 hour. In and out of the office.

 

Really, no big deal. The payoff is no more birth control for us, which was welcome. No concerns about playing and having a condom break opening up the possibility of getting a play partner pregnant.

 

I have noticed reduced quantity of ejaculate. Not sure if that's related to the procedure or age. I think age as that change has been more recent than the surgery.

 

I honestly don't know why a committed couple would choose any other form of serialization

 

Good luck,

 

S

I haven't had it done myself, but I've known a few guys who have. Word to the wise; take it easy for a few days. If you over do it, especially within the first 24-36 hours, you WILL pay.

 

As Lovefest04 noted, there is reduced volume of ejaculate because your semen isn't part of the ejaculate anymore.

Yes.  Been there done that and have the tee shirt.

 

I did this for two reasons late in life.

 

I made a conscious decision I only wanted children with my Queen, my best friend, lover, wife.

 

This came about because I was asked on a few occasions to be the surrogate father/sperm donor (yes the old fashion way) from younger friends of ours.  A blessing and honor but I gently declined.  I am not that guy to father a child and not be involved.  They understood and there was not any issue going forward.  One couple eventually got pregnant by the her SO, like winning the Lotto.   Both very glad I declined.

 

secondly we had been involved in the LS for many years and with close friends/playmates we played naturally.  The ladies preferred it that way but a few were still able to get pregnant.  So it all made sense.

 

being pregnancy safe opens many doors personally for your SO.  As well as any other lady you might play with in the LS.

I never thought of that so I looked it up. What I read is sperm is a very small part of ejaculate, 1-3% and most likely not noticeable in the quantity. It could be age. It can also be you are having more sex, lucky guy. 
 

  • Age: Males tend to ejaculate the largest volume of semen in their thirties. As they age, this volume decreases. 
  • Sexual activity: Recent sexual activity, including masturbation, may decrease semen volume, which potentially reduces the distance semen can travel. Prolonged periods of abstinence may cause a person to produce more semen than their usual amount. 
  • Genetic factors: Genetics play a role in most aspects of health, including the volume of semen. Some people naturally ejaculate more or less compared to others, regardless of health or lifestyle. 
  • Lifestyle factors: Diet, smoking, and many other lifestyle factorsTrusted Source can affect semen quality and overall health. For example, most research shows regular exercise may improve fertility and sperm quality, and studies suggest it may increase semen volume. 
  • Overall health: General health may affect semen volume. For example, a person with a chronic illness, such as diabetes, might notice a change in their semen. Hormonal issues may also influence semen quality.

I never got a vasectomy. We used birth control, my wife can no longer get pregnant. Most of the women I played with were beyond child bearing years. We are 100% condom users. But my wife has concerns if I play with a younger woman. We don’t want a condom mishap to result in a future college tuition.

Getting old requires a LOT of adjustments. I never thought this would be one.

 

On the bright side, I make less of a mess!!!Fail Season 5 GIF by The Office

College is overrated. Just convince that child to be an Influencer and live on the beaches of Thailand.

I had a vasectomy about 25 years ago. The procedure was quick with minimal pain and there wasn't any impact on the amount of ejaculate. Consider having it done on a Friday so you can spend the weekend watching TV with an ice pack on your crotch. 

 

The wife always struggled with the effect the pill had on her hormones so my taking the lead on sterilization made sense. It also made sex more spontaneous; no more running for the diaphragm when the spirit moved us. Also, I find female play partners appreciate it. It removes any concerns about pregnancy, and they are more welcoming of bareback play if that is on the table.

 

So all these years later I'd say it was a great move. Best of luck with your decision!

      Speaking as a recent snip-"ee",  does the fact that a potential playmate has had a vasectomy a plus, a minus, or doesn't even factor into consideration when evaluating a new partner in the lifestyle?
    • By prometheius
      I thought it would be interesting to find out other peoples views on the subject of safe sex/being surgically safe. N8tureGirl and I have been in the lifestyle for just over a year now, and we’ve found that most of the males of the couples we’ve played with are not surgically safe. I am V-safe and as of this month, N8tureGirl will be surgically safe also. What I would like to know is: Why don’t more people address this issue? I do realize that there may be some people out here that might still wish to have children, but for the most part, if they haven’t had kids by now, what are they waiting for? After all, most of us here are 30 somethings or older. I have been frustrated by people, (men in particular), who seem to think that it should be our responsibility to make sure a pregnancy doesn’t happen. Condoms don’t always work, and most people say that they don’t like using them since it does change the sensations felt or not felt. To further my opinion on this matter, sterilization is much less expensive and uncomfortable for the men than the women.
       
      When we got into swinging, we didn’t think about the fact that we were going to have to spend thousands (literally), on having the Mrs. fixed so she could enjoy herself without that concern hanging over her head. We’ve been told by more than one man that he was afraid that having the procedure done would hurt. This is a WTF moment for me, is there no pain in bearing a child? What about the financial pain of raising an unplanned child, or worse yet, the emotional pain of terminating an unwanted pregnancy? To me, this smacks of being self centered and makes me want to tell the guy that he can play with us once he gets his business taken care of. Fortunately, that will soon no longer be an issue for us.
       
      I just wanted to hear other peoples' opinions on this issue.

      As newbies, my husband Peter and I have learned so much here. We greatly appreciate the community at Swingers Board. As we are seeking to become more involved in swinging, one of our concerns is pregnancy. We are both fertile. If I were to become pregnant, either by Peter or another man, it would be easy for me to have an abortion. However, if he impregnated another woman, it would be up to her to decide what to do, without us having any say. Peter does not like condoms, and of course they can fail. I am urging him to consider having a vasectomy. We are wondering what more experienced couples have faced in terms of pregnancies, vasectomies, or tubal ligations. Also, what situation in the poll best applies to you?

      Hello... Has anyone had a vasectomy and had it affect their sex drive, such as not wanting to swing anymore? Also, does it effect ejaculation volume?
    • By lcjtsd
      While browsing online ads, I frequently see where they state the hubby is V-Safe. For those of you who have this is your ad, does this mean that you like to play without condoms? It seems to me that the only reason you would state this is to let another couple know that the risk of pregnancy is zero and if you were to use condoms, the issue of V-Safe would be a mute point. Is this correct? Or do you state this for the "just in case the condom slips off" issue?
       
      The reason I ask is that we do prefer doing things Au Natural and would like any insight or ideas into finding other like minded couples. If V-Safe is the hidden code for "No Condoms", we would sure like to know!
       
      From the other threads on this board we see quite a few people like cream pies, seconds, in other words, Au Natural. It's just too bad that none of them seem to live here in Las Vegas.
