I have spread a fair bit of seed in my time but it will still be a sad day when I finally shoot a blank wad.

Having the snip is a doddle

Try having it reversed :scared: :scared: bleeding agony.
Well worth it though, coz it worked

Its a genuine question. Mrs JTL claims its because it causes problems for women (medically I mean). Whereas for men, it just causes short term pain.

Cheers,

The risks for women are far higher than they are for men - the operation for women is far more invasive and carries with it a plethora of potential complications, whereas for men it literally is 'snip' and it is all done. My hubby had it done two years ago and we have never looked back.

Hi

Lovely subject BTW!!!

My hubby had this done a couple of years ago, but was too :scared: to go with the local anaestetic, so he went with a general, no probs and was uncomfortable for about 3 days, fine within the week!!!

Now, I observed this procedure (3 months to go till qualified nurse) at a minor surgery clinic last week, under local anaestetic, my advice would most definately be go with the general if you get a choice!!!!

I was definately feeling very sorry for these chaps, they looked absolutely terrified!!!!

Anyway, as they say with childbirth, its worth it in the end!!!!!

yeah and when a blackbird gets the worm in her beak she then "snips" the worm in half, but does'nt throw away the middle part!!!!!

I could tell all the men were trying desperately to think of something else!!! Two of the men did get an e***tion, think that may have been the reason for the terrified look!!!

Still got me bricks. Can lend them to the Mrs if U like

Don't forget the dettol for after [ouch...evil]

Fill the wheelbarrow up with neat dettol. Submerge swollen melon sized gonads.

You can then wheel yourself around for a few days till swelling goes down.

Tooo easy

Default Re: Tying a knot in it.

I had it done quite a few yrs ago. I got all the bullshit about pain and swelling and can categorically state there was no pain just a little mild discomfort. No swelling and only a very small bruise around the tiny 1/4" incision. Had it done Friday afternoon at the doctors surgery took about 20 mins. Stayed in bed all Saturday and then went out on the town in the evening. Back at work Monday morning as though nothing had happened . Could be that the Doc specialised in doing them and was very good but I was extremely worried by the horror stories I'd heard :scared: gladly they proved to be false and were generally from blokes who were macho enough to have sent their wife's in for major surgery instead .

Not so much embarrassing as confusing It can't be that much of a pleasure can it Shows how different men are to women - can't imagine a woman getting frisky whilst having a smear done :scared: God some men are so shallow

Girls help me out here.......

Approximately 40-50 years of periods, PMT and cramps.
Smear tests
All in preparation for approx 5 years of hot flushes, night sweats, HRT, osteoporosis and KY jelly shopping.

Inbetween all this we have 9 months pregnancy, including stretchmarks, heartburn, varicose veins (in amazing places), urgent need to wee less than 5 mls every hour. walking like John Wayne for months not 5 days!

Then of course there's labour :scared: .......enough said on that! but lets just highlight things like-episiotomy, tears, stitches,epidurals,c.sections.

Years of sleepless nights, breastfeeding, stress incontinence.

But the worst that is inflicted on a woman is a bloody whinging man who had two tiny tubes snipped (not veins-don't over egg the pudding!!) hobbling and boasting to all and sundry!

We live longer than you too, so we suffer it all for longer and usually with out a solitary moan!

Yes there is a bloody good reason why women like their beloveds to have the snip...................
