So, a vasectomy was something I knew I’d eventually get – once I’d worked up the courage to have a doctor hack open my most tender area. I’ve never wanted kids, I’ve always known I’ll never want kids; so a vasectomy was an inevitability for me. I want to share my experience from the decision making to the actual procedure for any guys thinking about going through with it.

But I was scared – so bloody scared. I put it off for years, telling myself, “I’ll do it when I’m ready.” Finally I came to the following realisation during an LSD trip on 17th May, 2016 (the following is from a diary I wrote in during the LSD trip):

"This is the fucking SECRET TO LIFE: You don’t have to be amazing, or productive, or successful. You have to be BUSY, and you don’t have to be perfect, you don’t have to have all the right answers, you don’t have to have everything planned out before you start. You just START, and you FIGURE IT OUT ALONG THE WAY.You just fucking TAKE ACTION and then figure out the answers along the way. Even this LSD trip right now – I was not ready, I mean I didn’t have anything planned out… But I jumped right in...That attitude, that “fuck it, let’s just jump in and do it” attitude, that risk-taking, THAT is masculinity. We take risks. We jump right in. We do insane shit. Before we’re ready. Before we’ve thought it through. Before we have all the answers. But somehow, we figure things out along the way, and we’re better off for the experience.I need to do the same shit with my vasectomy. It’s time to just jump straight in and DO IT."

Yep, an LSD trip gave me the courage to do it. (LSD has given me courage to start a lot of my goals/missions).

I did a tonne of research, found the best vasectomy clinic in my city, and booked it in so I couldn’t chicken out. The following are all the journal entries / forum posts I wrote back in 2016, leading up to the vasectomy. Apologies in advance for the writing style, this was years ago. At that point in time I was a different person but the sentiment still holds true.

“Are You Sure?” (01 Jun 2016)

I had a few people ask me on various forums where I posted. My reply:

"To repeat, when I was 16 I knew… I would never have kids. Ever.Appreciate the “are you REALLY sure about this” from you guys though. I 100% fully realise it’s something I can never take back. I accepted that a long time ago, and have just been working up the courage to actually do it. "

Day Before (02 Jun 2016)

[At this point I was nervous as hell, but I knew I’d made a good choice with the doctor I chose. I’d done my research, his clinic had amazing reviews; all that was left to do was wait.]

"Quick update: Tomorrow is my vasectomy. Nervous, obviously (a doctor is going to hack into my nuts), but this is something I’ve put off for a few years now so it needs to be done.I’ve honestly become totally paranoid and completely fucking OCD during sex these last few months. I can’t enjoy sex – I check the condom like 5 times during sex to make sure it hasn’t broken (I had one break when a girl wasn’t on the pill about 6 months ago, I nearly had a heart attack). I make sure I always bust my nut in the girls mouth and make her swallow it lol – that’s how paranoid I am about getting a girl pregnant. I can’t even cum on her body any more without freaking out – and I sure as hell can’t cum inside her (even while wearing a condom). It’s at the point where sex is becoming less enjoyable because all I can think is “this could potentially make her pregnant, I’m playing with fire”.My life is starting to come together, I have my own apartment, job I love, I’m getting fit, starting to chase girls, learning to cold approach – I would fall apart if I ever got a girl pregnant.I’m going to feel SO much better after the procedure, I’ll be able to relax again."

After the Operation (3 Jun 2016)

"im high as fuck guysssssso the vasectomy was amazing. everybody from the nurses to the secretaries was friendly as hell.i walk in, they check my paperwork and then show me an instructional video.dr comes in, Dr Andrew, he’s super fucking cool and funny, we start chatting about my photography, his daughter is also a photographer. really chill dude, made me feel right at ease.he asks me why i dont want to have kids, i say “Because theyre gross”, he cracks up and says “all right lets do this thing”.so i go lay on a table, the nurse (nurse Jenny) is super fucking funny too. she and Dr Andrew and I are joking the whole time. i had my headphones to listen to music but ended up just talking shit with them the entire time. it was only about 20mins (felt like 5 mins though).they gave me a local anaesthetic but also this drug thing called a “green whistle”. i could suck on it as much as i wanted. no shit, IT GOT ME HIGH. like legitimately fucking HIGH like having 100 BEERS. my words were slurred, i couldnt stop giggling, and my head was spinning (in a good way). the whole time cracking jokes with the dr and the nurse, got to tell my favourite joke too: “How do you know when there’s a doctor in the room? He’ll tell you.”As for pain, NOTHING. A very very slight “pinch” when the local anaesthetic was injected but it was barely noticeable. nothing after that. i told the Dr I’d been putting off a vasectomy because i was scared of the pain. lol he said “youre a pussy, real men get vasectomies, i even gave myself my own vasectomy”.once it was all done, they even called a taxi for me. fucking cool people, everyone there was so friendly and chilled. the whole thing from start to finish including waiting was only 1.5hrs.so glad I did this.so the local anaesthetic hasnt worn off yet, doc said there MAY be some pain, but only minor. some guys get no pain at all. will update tomorrow or the next day, but supposedly just panadol is enough.there is that weird “discomfort” feeling like when you get kicked in the balls. you know how it feels “weird” in your tummy? i have that. it’s not pain, just that “weird” feeling."

Resting Up (10 Jun 2016)

[I rested for about a week – jsut to make sure everything was absolutely healed up. I stayed on the couch for about 5 days – I wasn’t in pain or anything, but I wanted to give myself extra time to heal. It’s my nuts, after all – the most important part of a man’s body (other than his heart (that’s so gay)).

Pregnancy Scare (19 Jul 2016)

The following happened shortly after my vasectomy but before I’d been given the all-clear by the doctor saying it had been successful. So I still wasn’t 100% sure I was “shooting blanks”.

"so im woken up super early by my fuckbuddy “J” calling to tell me she’s missed her period and thinks she might be pregnant. cue a freakout from me. of course i remain calm on the phone and calmly tell her to buy 3 pregnancy kits and let me know the result. I’ve never cum in her by the way. and yes, i had my vasectomy, but that can take up to 12 weeks before you get the “all clear”. so my heart is racing, im in freakout mode.After thinking about it, this may be a cry for attention. since I started the cold approaching 3 weeks ago, ive basically been ignoring “J” and havent hung out with her for 3 weeks. another girl did this to me after i stopped talking to her for 2 months.so add those two times together with the time i had a condom break, ive now had 3 pregnancy scares in 9 months. and im not even a fucking big-time hotshot player, other guys on here are fucking way more bitches than I have been.so when some of you say “hey bro are u sure about vasectomy? seems pretty permanent bro, you should reconsider, should wait for vasagel… THIS IS WHY I GOT A FUCKING VASECTOMY.so i went out, no fucking intention to approach. im feeling like” i fucking hate women” right now. using “i think im pregnant” for attention is pure evil, if thats whats happening here. my mood is 0, energy is 0. but bad idea bear pushed me to do approaches. walked around for 30 min and just felt worse and worse. was like “fuck it” and did one on an asian chick. voice was monotone, i couldnt be fucked, just asked for a number with no smalltalk. no number, obviously.feel like this is important though. 3 weeks ago if i had a day like today, i would have stayed home, cheated on my diet, watched porn and maybe even skipped my workout. instead i did a cold approach while mood+energy = 0.so ive taught myself you dont even have to be feeling good to approach. this is the worst mood I’m ever going to be in, coupled with the fact i dont even want to talk to females right now… and i still approached.consistency/habit will lead me to victory."

A few months later I got the all-clear from the doctor that I was now, officially,
\~\~\~ S T E R I L E \~\~\~

Questions I Get Asked:

“What if you regret it?”

I won’t.

“Why don’t you want kids?”

I knew when I was 16 I didn’t want kids, or marriage. I’m 33 as of 2020; that hasn’t, and won’t, change.

“But, like, what if you change your mind?”

No.

“No but seriously Andy, vasectomies are a huge thing. And you might decide you do really want kids later dude. I’m just warning you.

”No.

“But I just think you might have a change of heart one day and…”

No.

“Did it hurt?”Fuck no. It was fun, as you can see in the story above.

“I’ve been thinking of getting one myself. Can you advise me if I should or not?”

I’m not willing to give you quick advice on such a life-changing decision. If you want to hit me up for a coaching call and cover it in-depth over an hour, we can do that. If not, then do your own research, spend a lot of time deciding if you want to do it, talk to all of your family and friends first, etc. This has to be your decision, not anybody else’s

“I definitely want one. How should I go about finding a doctor/clinic?”

I spent months researching – I googled “Best vasectomy doctor in [my city]” and a bunch of other searches. I ended up going with one of the most expensive ones, because he’d been doing vasectomies for his entire career and knew what he was doing. His was also the only vasectomy clinic that offered anti-anxiety medicine beforehand if you were nervous (they call it “the green whistle”).It cost me $1380 Australian Dollars – far more than all the other clinics. I’m so so glad I spent that much on it, given it was an important decision and I didn’t want anything to go wrong with my dick/balls. If you're in Australia and want a clinic recommendation there's details here on the linked page.

“How long did it take to heal?”

A few days. The first day, I just stayed in bed the whole day. It wasn’t painful, just felt “weird” down there. The second day I laid on the couch most of the day just to make sure I’d definitely healed. After that I was pretty much fine. I waited a couple weeks before jerking off (they tell you to wait, then jerk off a few times to “clear the pipes” before you’re all-clear).

“Did you get a test to say you were definitely ‘shooting blanks’?”

Yep, a couple months after it was all done, I went to a pathlogy lab to give a semen sample. The test came back all-clear; the vasectomy was a success. No sperm.

“Do you notice any difference in any way – amount of semen/ejaculate, etc?”

Nope, can’t tell the difference. Looks to be about the same amount I shot as before the vasectomy. Colour looks the same, consistency is the same, girls tell me it takes like normal sperm.
