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

[Hitcher]

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.

I think somebody should draw you a map of the male genitalia...

[Skunk]

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.

It does take a few 'goes' to clear the 'live' ones...

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.

I took the Doc's advice and didn't use frozen's. Sweet as.

Guess it depends on the method. Mine was scalpel free.

Get a job marking exams. Kids 'doodle' all the time they say.

Hey I'm on fire with the puns!!

If that's a fire, I'd hate to see you smouldering...

You've lost me. :spudwhat:
Why would someone want to vasectomise rams? Why not? It was probably one of the less weird things we used to do when I was a professional sheep-shagger. We used to vasectomise the less 'desirable' (from a potential progeny point of view) rams to use them as "teasers". No-one told them they were shooting blanks, so we could use them to find out which ewes were in oestrus, without unwanted lambs (we still managed to have lambs nearly all year round anyway). Interestingly (or not) they were only useful as teasers for a maximum of maybe two years, then they became disinterested in bonking and got fat and lazy...

[F5 Dave]

Weren’t worth all that expensive grass you were feedin’ them huh?

Still, that's where slow cook casserole or curry comes in handy.

Mine involved scalpels. It was done the old fashioned way, where a decent chunk of the 'tadpole highway' is cut out- he showed it to me. Then the two ends are folded over and stitched. Apparently if the ends are too close together and not sealed they can rejoin- nature will find a way...
It was done by my ex-surgeon GP, as taught by a ureologist. I don't recall having a needle inserted into my nuts- I wasn't looking, but I'm sure that would have hurt much more than it did (which wasn't much).
Drove myself there on a Friday afternoon, had the op done. Drove myself home and then did as I was told- frozen peas on the nuts, no lifting, sit around and demand you be waited on hand and foot for the weekend (tough job that). There was no pain, which makes it tempting to ignore the docs instructions. Not a good idea, I know one guy that ended up with internal bleeding from his groin up into his abdomen. Took several weeks for it to stop, he was laid up, in pain and off work.

And just to have a wee rant, those of you that reckon your wife/ significant other should get her tubes tied instead, because you want to remain a 'complete man'- you fuggen-chicken-shit-big-girls-blouses!! If you're making her do that, then trust me, you weren't a 'man' in the first place!! For a woman to get it done is fairly major and invasive surgery. She will be laid up, in a fair bit of pain, and basically out of action for days....while YOU look after the kids. There can be complications, some of which can affect her for the rest of her life. All you have to do is lie down, drop your dacks, let a nurse shave you, put up with a little bit of discomfort while they give you a jab, and then you'll be on your way home in half an hour. Harden up!
Rant over...

Yup - I'm in your gang there T.
Just when I thought all was done after they stitched me up I was a little upset to be told, "hang on Mr X, we've got to do the other side now".

Don't worry Oakie - all will be well again pretty soon. You'll walk like John Wayne for a few days, be psychologicaly scared for life, but on the up side you'll be able to fire in all directions without fear of producing more bug rugs.

Better to have a couple of pipes cut that the hatchet job the ladies have to go through I guess.

[Oakie]

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

Nah, a couple of boot socks does the trick. Ya just got to remember which ones not to put on yer feet later on.

Agreed. While for a long time it was important for me to remain 'intact', when the decision needed to be made, it was certainly a no-brainer for me to get it done instead of my wife. Besides, after years of regulating her body with chemicals or whatever, I thought it was my turn to step up.

Well said..... and I totally agree.

Having just had my gut sliced open and had a adominal Hysterectomy... I have been to hell and back the pain was bad... and Im still recovering from it... I am only able to walk short distances, NOT allowed to lift a thing, NO housework etc for 6 weeks and Im off my bike for at least 8 weeks.
so guys its time for you lot to harden up and think about ya women folk...
For goodness sake the women carry the baby for 9 months and what do you do........ smile... right its time to turn the books on you men...

For a woman to get her tubes tied and not produce kids can be done different ways now, but she needs just as much rest as to what I am going throu.

Women go throu a lot and men seem to go throu nothing....
What is a quick nick and cut.... its all over in less than 30 minutes... and a few days off work. My op took over 1 1/2 hours.

But when you have the wee cut done, remember to still use contraceptive stuff until you are given the all clear.

So TonyB, I am in full agreement with what you said.

[SPman]

Been there. Got done by that!

[phantom]

the worst part for me, ( apart from shaving bits of me that had never been shaved before ) was lying on the bed with my pride and joy bared to the world and the attractive practice nurse standing by hoping that I don't frighten her. The embarrasment sees to that. Us men just aren't used to that sort of thing

[Lou Girardin]

Vasectomies are great. Unless you ever want to have kids again (For whatever reason).
Reversals aren't always possible.

No worries here, Dr and I had a long discussion about various episodes of Monty Python, had to keep reminding me to stop moving when I laughed.
