the big "v" - any downside?

[Rikao4]

do take it easy..
don't worry it will work & rise again..
seen more than my share of folks in the ER who didn't..
just so you know..
it is possible to stuff 2 softballs into one's scrotum..
well not really..
but it can swell up to that and more..

Did it Thursday, took Friday and Monday off and didn't do a thing, no pain after that. Anyone who does activity that second day then ends up with bleeding or bruising or pain deserves it. Just sit down on the damned couch, eat pizza, watch TV and drink beer (that your wife or girlfriend brings to you). Consider it the one true man vacation that we get once in our lifetime.

No downside long term. First needle hurts and after that I did not feel anything .After I had to wear a pad like a Depends to catch the crud that came from the incision. And yes do nothing after the operation. Le sac will be swollen but over do it and you pay for it dearly.

Whatever you say honey, is fine by me. And no I dont think your azz looks too fat.

Over 20 years ago for me. Had it done at the same time as a double hernia repair. If anyone ribs you about shooting blanks just say "yeah and a lot of them..."

As for the rest, I'm 6'4" and 185 lbs. have been for years.

Did it 25 years ago. NO downside. Plenty of upside as in you can jump into bed and not think/worry about anything else.

No problems here. In on a Thursday morning, sit on the couch all weekend with frozen peas and hydrocodone, went to work on Monday. Haven't heard back any negative comments from the missus on the result, so I guess everything is the same, except for no swimmers.

[Oh Haha]

It's been 10 days and no issues for me. No abbynormal swelling or bleeding. The feeling of having been kicked in the goonies is a true statement, though. That feeling lasted about 4 days for me but it wasn't more than an annoyance.

I did mine over 20 years ago after my second and last kid was born. Only upside for me. I was single for 10 years in my 40's and early 50's. Women of that dating age really appreciated the commitment I had made to taking responsibility for my reproductive health and birth control.

Timely resurface of this thread. Considering getting it done in the next few weeks..

[Oh Haha]

Update to mine:

Sent my first sample in last Thursday. Results show a low count but still some little dudes present. I'll send another sample in a couple of weeks and go from there.

As for side effects I did go through a week or so with absolutely no interest in women. Yes, I'm married but I mean seeing a hot chick and not thinking "man, she's a hottie!". It was more like "eh, whatever."

It passed and things are back to normal in that regard.

Me too, we have a guy in Seattle called Dr Snip, done quite a few of my friends. Its a no incision process and takes about 10 minutes. Makes me a little nervous, but have recently met a few couples with accidental babies in their 40s and my dad had one in his early 50s. So the motivation is there.
