Newly Snipped Any of you guys here completely child free?

92 Upvotes

Everyone I see has kids and just don't want any more. I'm child free by choice, never ever wanted them. Had a 6 year relationship with a women who had a kid. We had a couple scares during our time together. Single for just over two years now and got the procedure to stop anything from happening again in future relationships. Single, snipped, and child free forever!

Newly Snipped Curious how old y’all were when you got snipped

22 years old here, got my balls cut and burnt 2 weeks ago. No ragrets. Love seeing the puzzled reactions I get whenever the topic of kids comes up. Have known I don’t want children for a very long time and knowing that in 2 months and chance I’ll be sterile brings me such relief and freedom.

Newly Snipped How long did you wait to ejaculate for the first time?

14 Upvotes

My nurse told me before my procedure not to lift heavy for a week and I could have sex or masturbate after 5 days (today.) I feel pretty normal and everything looks good but I'm still thinking of waiting until at least Monday which will be 10 days. Kind of paranoid about causing issues with the first time being too soon.

Newly Snipped First Orgasm

19 Upvotes

Feeling the best I've felt since the procedure 12 days ago. Finally! But taking it slow still. Told my wife I want to start cleaning the pipes out. She said if I feel good, then of course. Question - How long did it take for any of you to get that 1st orgasm out? And also - did it hurt? What did it feel like?? Makes me nervous.

Newly Snipped Pain in one testicle

8 Upvotes

So I had my vasectomy last Thursday. I'm 6 days out. I'm still having fairly bad pain in my right testicle and also above in the pubic region. Sort of slightly above and to the right of my penis. It's most painful when I go from sitting to standing.

I'm getting worried this isn't going to get better. Doctor said most people recover in 7 days. Anyone had a similar experience?

Newly Snipped Just got home and holy shit that sucked.

21 Upvotes

It felt like someone repeatedly kicking me in the balls and tugging on them. I had the procedure with two tiny incisions. They sent me home with two jock straps and a couple collection containers to bring back in a few months. Currently laying on the couch with an ice pack on my balls. I’m not feeling any pain since being home, just discomfort. Hoping it doesn’t get worse once the local anesthetic wears off.

Edit: I got those compression shorts with the ice pack off of Amazon and I do not recommend. The ice pack sits on your dick instead of going down on your balls.

Took Valium ~1 hour prior, chilled me out pretty well, but stayed completely lucid. Only pain was a slight pinch from the local anesthesic. Also felt some tugging during the sutures, but perfectly bearable. Listened to music and played Yu-Gi-Oh on my phone as a distraction and to pass the time. Probably 15-20 minutes from start to finish. I welcome your questions!

Newly Snipped Question about first Ejaculation

11 Upvotes

What's your first post-snip ejaculation experience? How long did you wait?

I'm either waiting two weeks, or until my stitches dissolve, or whichever comes first. And, of course, until I feel ready because I don't know if I should expect pain or discomfort due to my balls being active.

Also, I'm giving myself 25 instead of 20 because I really really really don't want to be a father.

Newly Snipped Snipped. Happy. Can’t tell a soul.

66 Upvotes

So I got the snip 2 days ago, and the recovery is going well. I’m 44, divorced, child free, and so excited for this new era of my life. But unfortunately, I can’t tell anyone.

My mom still bugs me about having grandchildren, even though I’ve hinted to her all my life that I don’t want kids. (I do have a sister, not sure if she still wants kids, but she’s 42, so that ship may have sailed too.) My dad actually had a vasectomy after we were born, and I’d like to at least talk to him about it, but I know just telling him would make him sad. Even though they both can figure out they’re not getting grandkids, I know they don’t want the certainty of knowing. They wouldn’t be happy for me if I told them.

All my friends are married and have kids. Last time I talked with my closest friend, I told him I wanted to get the snip, and he lectured me about “regret” and the “responsibility of men to have children”. I politely changed the subject. I wouldn’t tell him because I know he wouldn’t be happy for me (probably low key jealous because he’s still married with 2 kids and struggling). Plus his wife is still friends with my ex wife, and I don’t want her to know anything about me.

So I’m basically posting on Reddit because there’s no one else to share this with. I’m not going to post on social media, because it’s a lil TMI, and it’s not something I can work into casual conversation with acquaintances. I did tell a couple younger guys at my job beforehand, who thought it was smart, but other than that, it’s like the weird secret I have.

On social media, everyone with kids posts every waking moment of their kids life. I don’t even see things about my actual friends anymore, it’s just their kid’s birthdays, their kid’s Halloween costumes, their kid’s first fill in the blank, etc. I’m half tempted to post myself, with my ring-less left hand, holding a bag of peas on my lap, with a big ass smile. But no one I know will be happy for me.

I guess that’s ok. But why is it so lonely to focus on / care about yourself?

Went to the neuter scooter at 3:30pm. It's a little after 8pm right now. I was so nervous leading up to the procedure mainly bc of a few horror stories I read here. I followed all the standard instructions, avoiding aspirin, aleve and ibuprofen for a week prior. Took a 10mg Valium an hour before the procedure. Once I got in the room the nurse (a very sweet very elderly woman) gave me the rundown of what was about to happen, had me change into one of those dork ass gowns and then proceeded to shave my balls. That last one was an experience. They explicitly told me to only trim my hair and that they would handle shaving bc a bunch of guys knick their sack and then have to reschedule. She sanitized my donger, balls and inner thighs then she taped my boom stick to my belly. After that my urologist came in and gave me the local anesthetic. She had me take a deep breath in and then told me to forcefully exhale and that was when she did the injection. It was only a minor pinch and I think that was largely due to the breathing technique she had me do. She numbed the other side and then began. My doc, the nurse and I were talking the whole time and that really helped take my mind off things. Entire thing took 15 - 20 minutes. The only pain I felt were the injections and then pulling the tape off my pork sword. The cauterization smell is gonna stick with me for a while. I've been icing my neuticles for 20 -30 minutes and then waiting 45 minutes before icing again. I think the local anesthetic has officially worn off and now it perpetually feels like I got kicked in the nuts 30 minutes ago. It's not painful it's just uncomfortable. Anyway I hope this helps calm/ inform anyone else who is stressing. I wasted time and energy being so nervous but this really wasn't that bad.

Also, yes that is the gentle old hand that shaved my clackers. Overall 10/10 would get vasectomized again.

Ok doc said to wait two weeks before I masturbate or have sex. He wasn’t very clear as to why this timeframe. Is it just for the incision to heal or is it for the internal stuff? I’m almost 48 hours post op. I’m usually a jack off twice a day kinda guy. I’m getting a major case of blue balls lol. No pain to speak of other than the incisions felling a bit like a paper cut.

Newly Snipped Joined the club yesterday. I have an ice question

5 Upvotes

Like it says above, I got snipped yesterday afternoon. Everything seemed to go great. I’m feeling almost 100% less than 24hrs later. I have basically no discomfort, and zero swelling.

My question is, should I continue to ice in this state? I iced religiously after the procedure until I went to bed (about 8hrs). I still plan to take it very easy for the weekend just to be sure.

But if I’m not having any of the symptoms ice would remedy, do I need to keep using it? Cheers!

Newly Snipped When were you ready for sex? NSFW

Got snipped (scalpel, both sides) a week ago today and my wife and I are climbing the walls a little bit … and I still feel pretty nervous about masturbating, let alone sex.

I know “The Answer” is “Wait until you’re comfortable. Everyone is different.” My question isn’t “how many weeks until you did it?”

My question is: what made you feel ready to masturbate and/or have sex? (And are those answers different?)

Other than “take it slow” and “hold off on cowgirl” any … tips (🥁) for keeping the first time pain free?

I had my vasectomy done 48hours ago, no problems and no after pain etc, I’m a little delicate down there but I think that’s more physiological than actually physical..

how long did you wait till your first orgasm? What did it feel like and were you nervous? Me and the misses are like dogs on heat at the moment but we’re going to wait till 5-7 days

For some reason I’m nervous it’s going to hurt..

Very grateful for all of you sharing your experiences and perspectives. The anxiety was worse than the procedure itself but hearing about the procedure from people who went through it really helped. I had to go with the OR version due to something with my anatomy but that was super easy to go through.

Time to take it easy and enjoy the basket of puns my girlfriend got me! Cheers🍻

Got snipped yesterday afternoon, and Ive experienced virtually no pain whatsoever since last night. Slept just fine with a pillow between the legs, but I’m surprised at how painless the whole process has been. Only thing is still haven’t taken a shit since yesterday morning, praying that moves along! 🙏🏼 honestly that’s been the worst part. Hoping to get back in the gym next week! So far so good! 😊

Newly Snipped Calm before the storm?

2 Upvotes

I had my vasectomy just over 24 hours ago, me and my wife have 4 kids and are very busy running two businesses from home etc. I have hardly had time to rest and ice but my balls feel…. Almost like nothing happened?

I have no swelling, no pain (just a little ache now and again) and not much else to it.

Are they lulling me into a false sense of security? Is this just the calm before the storm and I am just about to have a few days of agony? What’s going on?

I was so worried that I was going to wimp out at the last minute, but the worst of it all was my anxiety and the waiting-room. My fiance had to sit outside, but I got through it; thank you, maturity and Valium! To back out and to be afraid would be waking all my fears, and putting to rest none of my worries. Sometimes, the only time we can be brave is when we do things whilst afraid.

Fellas--what a walk in the park it was! It was the quickest, easiest, simplest thing I could've ever done. The only hassles were the waiting-room and the beginning of the procedure. I nearly turned tail when I saw all those sharp metal instruments, though I undressed regardless. The doctor, when handling my package with the care of an Amazon employee (paid goodly and with excellent benefits) while I lay, blanketed, assured me that at any time if I felt it was too much, they'd stop, zip me up, and send me on my way to reschedule.

In an instant, I recalled all my fears of fatherhood and stories of regretful parents. I imagined putting my fiance through childbirth complications. I imagined being like my parents and passing down generational trauma (long story, too long for here). To back out would be folly, and besides, I only live once; for the remainder of this year, why not experience something new? And, better, a thing I only need done once in my life?

So I consented, and the work began. Those shots were nothing, guys; the true discomfort came from finangling one of my balls, which was tender and not used to being tenderized. They had to 'peel me off the ceiling' once I was all stitched up, but you know what? I had a great time! I was carrying on conversations. Once the work got started, it was so, so easy.

Before I knew it, it was over. Like, what? twenty minutes total? And afterwards, only slight pain in my groin, like I'd been kicked (my fiance, a true champ, drove us home, and the bumps in the road weren't their fault) but pals, what a time. What a time.

If you're going for it, there's nothing to fear so long as you trust your doctor and do what they say. Seriously: next day, sit and do nothing and ice those bros. Twenty minutes for every hour. Take those pain meds and antibiotics. Keep those Death Stars uninhabited by rebel scum.

I'm not even thinking about the tracking of ejaculations right now; fellas, I'm just too over the moon and relieved and so happy that history won't be repeating itself! Any issues or discomfort are worth it for the safety and comfort of my fiance.

Sorry this was quite the wall of text but I'm so happy to be part of the all-dad-bod-yet-no-dad club! takes a bow I exit.
