Well I have a question for all of you men out there that have had a vasectomy. I am just wondering what other's experiences have been. Have you noticed any differance in sexual function, pleasure, etc.? Has it changed your sex life in any way? What if any side affects/changes have you noticed?

Hi Kely,
Lets see, I had mine almost 30 years ago and my wife at the time didn't see the humor when I told her, "I had it changed from a family model to a sports model". I was young and FULL of myself, but I thought that it was funny.
Lets just say that I am 61 and LAUGH at the comercials for "ED"
My bedroom life has been WONDERFUL with no complaints so far. Chilled champagne, english muffins and we stayed in bed until 2PM; life is GRAND.
Now for your husband. The first shot is going to ACHE for a minute and then NO PROBLEMS. Get him a couple of bags of frozen peas for the next day because there will be swelling. Then he will be good to go.
Back to the doc for a sample in three weeks, maybe you could help? And he is good to go.
In short, it is a GREAT solution and more men should step up to the plate and get their wives or whatever OFF OF THE PILL!
The VAS has ABSOLUTELY NO AFFECT on physical performance. If there are other issues involved that is the problem, but NOT THE VAS!
Good Luck,
Jacques

I had my vasectomy almost ten years ago, so I can offer a longish-term perspective.
Difference in function? None. Everything still works as ever, with the exception that my youngest child is STILL my youngest child.
Difference in pleasure? For the first week or two, my climaxes were actually a little MORE pleasureable than before; then things returned to normal. I assumed that this was because of pressure on the area where they'd done the surgery, and this seems to be the case because when my wife provides pressure on that area now, it's more pleasurable in much the same way it was after the vasectomy.
Has it changed my sex life in any way? Oh yes -- I say it's the second-best thing that ever happened to my sex life, after meeting the woman I married. Basically... no counting days, no taking pills, no barriers on either of us -- there's nothing to interrupt the process or reduce the sensation or break the mood. (Now, we're in a long-term monogamous relationship, and we were tested with each of my wife's pregnancies as a standard practice, so STDs aren't an issue for us. A vasectomy isn't going to prevent either partner from catching something from the other -- it'll only prevent pregnancy.)
Side effects/changes -- only that removing the risk of pregnancy makes the whole package of intimacy that much nicer. By which I mean that we no longer have to worry about avoiding contact before and after the condom is in place. We can snuggle afterwards without worrying that any wet places are dangerous (and sometimes, I think that the whole point of having sex is to snuggle afterwards, with all those happy chemicals flowing through my veins...)
If you've already been pregnant, you know what a relief it is to not worry about GETTING pregnant -- as long as you're feeling well enough for regular intercourse, you can have it wherever and whenever you want it. Well, it's like that again after a vasectomy.
The one thing you didn't ask -- and all guys want to know -- is, "How long do I have to wait afterward before I can use it?" The answer from my doctor was, "As soon as it's no longer sore enough that you don't want to." For me that was a day and a half, but I have a high tolerance for pain and a low tolerance for sexual frustration. :-) Most guys wait about three days, I understand.
Oh, there's one thing to be cautious about: for a week or two after a vasectomy, there may still be live sperm in the man's system, so pregnancy CAN occur. I was told to wait until I had ejaculated ten times before having a sperm count; when that was done, I got the go-ahead and as I say it's been ten years since then.

I'm not a man but have known several who have had vasectomies. From what I've seen and heard from them, the only difference would be for the better. If the man is with a significant other (ie. a longterm exclusive partner) and the concern was only pregnancy, it's a huge relief not to have to bother with condoms etc.. and the freedom VAStly (lol) improves the experience.

i have not noticed any changes at all if anything it makes your drive stronger. I would recommend it to any male that did not want any more children. i have had no side effects at all. the only problem i had i was flying in the navy and it was kinda rough putting on the parachute for a bout a week. had to put the straps between my legs but other than that it was a piece of cake so to speak.

1) No difference in function or pleasure. Everything works just fine.
2) Don't have to fuss with condoms or worry if she remembered to take her pill or not.
3) See #2.
4) No fear of pregnancy, and we can be more spontaneous with our fornicating.
