I’ve heard it hurts a lot?

For 48 hours after the procedure you will walk slowly. Then a mild kicked in the balls aching will follow for weeks. Three hours after my vasectomy I went straight into work, against instruction. I was a pharmacist then so fairly active. The anesthesia wears off an about one hour. I chose not to take any ibuprofen throughout. It was fine. I don't have heroic levels of pain tolerance either.

  Interesting that I was not informed of this when I got my vasectomy. Still would have gone through with the procedure. 1-2% chance with the vast majority having their pain treated with a second procedure is not enough of a risk to stop me from being in control of my own life. But still, it would have been nice to be informed of this.

They use a needle injection and then a spray pain killer. I barely felt it during, most of the soreness was after the procedure. Don't plan on doing anything for 5 days. I was a security guard at a casino and went back day 4. First half of my shift I was ok, but I went home half way through my shift because walking the patrols was becoming a little uncomfortable. Here is a rather controversial opinion of mine, hope it is not out of place here: I would highly encourage all men to get a vasectomy and to freeze your sperm. It is the only way to have sexual agency. Once the woman is pregnant, your consent does not matter and you only are along for the ride. I just want to clarify here, I believe in Her body her choice. I just believe that the man should have this be a choice as well, and this the only option as far as I see. I would like to hear of alternatives if anyone has them. Even if you feel sure of not wanting kids, freezing sperm is much cheaper then reversing the vasectomy. People change, and so can you.

  Given the recent research linking advanced paternal age to a number of conditions, freezing your sperm is quite prudent even if you don't get snipped.
