I'm getting neutered, when can I ride again?

[vifferman]

Always been a softcock mate. And I got it done. What's your excuse again?

I've just never got around to it. Every time I suggest it, the wife tells me not to bother. Mebbe she doesn't miss playing the "Who's gonna sleep on the wet spot?" game. :spudwhat:
No other reason; I can get it for nowt under my medical insurance. Maybe that's a good reason to get it, so I can get the company's money's worth before I change jobs.

I didn't worry about the frozen peas thing, result? feeling like I was walking around with a baby porcupine in the front of me Y-fronts and a constant barrage of "howdy pardner" and "why are you walking like John Wayne?"

It was a dodle, zero pain at the time and probably would have been pain free (as pain free as frozen nuts get) later if I had listened to the DR. and used the frozen peas.

Riding? for safety sake give it 3 days or so, you never know when you're going to have an 'off' or an unexpected 'panic stop'

BTW The wet spot is just as big as it always was..

Hey thanks everyone.
I'm going the scalpel-less way which is alledgedly quite painless and requires no stitches. There was something on TV about it last night and they actually showed the operation and the guy who was having it done made jokes all the way through it. I have heard elsewhere that it's pretty comfortable and that even the injection is less painful than the one you get at the dentist.
Anyway, the collective KB wisdom seems to be
> don't be a hero and take it easy afterwards
> wear tight underwear for a few days

Vifferman, thanks for the offer to do it yourself ... and for thinking you could handle it because you've handled rams before. (Shucks!)
And Crashe ... thanks for pointing out the implications of having to make a sudden stop on the way home from the op. Perhaps I'll just get someone to take me in the car instead. (And I hope you have a speedy recovery)

Final word ... I realised a few minutes ago that my avatar (our dog in his 'look at my dick' pose) is going to resemble me when I'm getting the operation done.

Cheers

What is "the scalpel-less way"? :spudwhat:

OH! So that's what your avatar is.
I thought it was some weird alien thing.

I was talking about if one hadn't been snippety-doodah'd, and had to resort to other methods.

No scalpel or cutting. They just mash everything with a BLOODY BIG HAMMER

Oh yeah - I've seen that on TV on the "harem" ad, where the blokes have to lift their kaftans for the application of the big crunching stones...

[Oakie]

you had to ask didn't you ....

In a no-scalpel vasectomy, the doctor feels under the skin of the scrotum to locate the vas deferens (the tubes through which sperm pass into the semen). The vas are then held in place with a small clamp. Next, a special instrument is used to make a tiny puncture in the skin and stretch the opening so the vas can be cut and tied. This approach produces very little bleeding, and no stitches are needed to close the punctures, which heal quickly by themselves. The newer method also causes less pain and fewer complications than conventional vasectomy.


But the good news is that vasectomies no longer require much cutting. With the “scalpel-less vasectomy” procedure, the process has become more of a pinch than a slash.


In the right hands, such as those of Grant Fowler, M.D., professor and vice chair of the department of family practice and community medicine at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, the procedure is usually completed in about 15 to 30 minutes

I heard from my cousins fiancee (insert big saga but was getting married to my cousin) and they wanted kids, so he got his vasectomy reversed. Aparently its not very pleasant and they swell up considerably & are quite tender for a period of about 6 weeks. So consider carefully before getting it done in the first palce... going back won't be pleasant!

[MOTOXXX]

man i saw that thing on 60 minutes and he said it was painless.

i think i went white as a ghost when i saw them put a needle into one of his nuts.
The couple was on tv talking about it and the lady said she wanted the husband to take some responsibility for protection.
i thought a condom would have been an easier option. lol

but what would i know. im just young, dumb and full of ...................

[F5 Dave]

Quite topical as there was doco on last night, presume you saw it. Watched with hand covering eyes during procedure. Yueeek!

One friend was so sore he couldn’t ride for at least a week. Another went home & ‘tested’ it that night.

Actually that’s a pretty good pun right there without trying Not sure whether anyone told him it takes a few days before the pipes are completely clear.

Yeah, condoms are easier but they're not fool-proof. We don't want anymore kids ...and there have been a couple of ...err ... 'frights' recently so it was time to get serious. Besides ... it's been a hell of a job finding those extra extra large condoms recently

[Hitcher]

Ah.. it's not neutering, Dude, just re-routing the main tadpole highway.

Tell ya what - I've done a few vasectomies meself, on rams. They didn't seem to mind too much, but they staggered a bit afterwards (mind you, it might've been the anaesthetic).

No, it's terminating the "main tadpole highway".

And why on earth would anybody want to vasectomise a ram?

[F5 Dave]

Yeah, -so you use the wrap 4 handkerchiefs around it first method too?

Just use a small size gumboot.
