Isn't where the testosterone is made, is in the testicles? Then if a man has a vasectomy, does that put the hormones out of whack, or take them away? Or is the testosterone made somewhere else? So... if a man gets snipped... does he remain "manly?" Heh..

The surgery snips the vas deferens the carries sperm from the testicles to the prostrate, where it mixes with other liquid to make the ejaculate. When the snips happens the body reabsorbs the sperm and just the other juices come out when the man does his manly thing.

First of all, the only thing that is “blocked’ is the sperm. The sperm are re-absorbed just the same as they are during periods of no sexual activity. The semen is not made in the testacies, so it is unaffected. Hormones are normally absorbed through the blood veins, and do not travel though the same path as the sperm.
Some people believe that getting a vasectomy will actually increase testosterone. I am skeptical. I think that is purely psychological. The reason many men show a greater interest in sex, after a vasectomy, is because they don’t have that ever present worry about getting their partner pregnant. Believe it or not, male sexual function is strongly connected to mood.
I had my vasectomy at 21. I can grow a full beard in about two days. I usually shave twice a day. I also have a very deep voice, and have a very hairy chest. My girlfriend says I am “always in heat”. Why? Because these things are hereditary, and could never be affected by a vasectomy in the first place.

You remain a manly man. You even feel more like a man when your not dealing with condoms, thoughts of failed birth control and her taking the pill on time. Skin on skin baby! Just make sure the kids questions are answered truthfully. Once you have it done, it tough to reverse and not alway successful. Had mine done about 5 years ago and never regretted it.

semen is made there in the testes, testosterone is made elsewhere, my husband still nails me once a week or so and hes 75 and been snipped for over 30 years and only had one testicle to start with.

Just as manly. It doesn't involve removal of the testicles... they do their job just the same as before the vasectomy.

in my view, no...he is less of a man. i know you might not want to hear this, but i would never get it done and i think it is a terrible idea to have him do this. just use birth control. do you really have to force surgery on him just because you want him to finish in you and not have a baby? my god, people are disturbed freaks now days. just use a condom already!
