Bet I've got you both beat on vasectomy horror stories. My first marriage was to a model a few years older than me. We were blissfully in love...ahhhhh, youthful passion. She had a history of ectopic pregnancies. Also had problems with oral contraceptives. We were both wrapped up in our careers and were positive we never wanted children. Sooooo, at the wise old age of 24, in an effort to assure a spontaneous sex life "we" decided I would have a vasectomy.

The surgery was relatively uneventful although for some reason to this very day I'm aroused by ice packs. However, one week post-op I return home a day early from a business trip. Find her in bed with one of my best friends. So much for her commitment and my chivalry.

Long story short, marriage ends, she lives with the former friend for the next 20 years. A few years ago they broke up, she and I had a re-union tryst, wherein she wanted to rekindle, I thought not, yadadada...I've written about this elsewhere in OT.

At times I have regretted my decision at such a young age as I really do like kids and many people think I would have been a great dad. At others it has come in handy, most particularly when I was sued in a paternity case in my 30's.
