Did you drive yourself back? Or have somebody drive you. Was sitting in the car uncomfortable?
I'm planning to get one in the near future. I can't imagine having another kid at this point in my life. Seems like a small price to pay for an added layer of protection against pregnancy.
Drove myself back. It was OK for a bit, but after that, yes, it was uncomfortable.
I was very curious about how long it would take for me to have sex again. The Doc just told me, 'When the pleasure outweighs the pain.' The wife gave me a hummer about 5 days after and I was banging again after 8-9 days.
The one thing I did not fully appreciate was the scale of impact this would have on my wife. I do not know if her response is typical. But both the gratitude she showed and the dramatic increase in devotion from an already very devoted wife was not anticipated or expected.
When we discussed it, she said it brought her a lot of comfort and joy to know that no matter what happened the rest of our lives, even if she died in a car wreck tomorrow, that she would be the only woman in the world to ever bear my children. She actually said she took it as a promotion. Knowing she values that so much makes me love her all the more.
I periodically give thought to that, and I guess it makes sense. Provided they are with a healthy young woman, a healthy man with good sperm can sire children into their 70's, 80's even 90's. Anthony Quinn had one at 81. Julio Iglesias Sr had one at 90. I guess under the right circumstances, it can be seen as a great gift to the mother of your children.
I have a good friend who already has 5 children with his wife. Even though he claims to not want any more children, he categorically refuses to get a vasectomy. One of the reasons he gives his wife is that if something happened to her or their relationship, if at some point he ended up with a woman that wanted children, he would want to be able to provide them. While I guess that makes sense, I can also see how she might be hurt by it.
The last argument they had about it, he told her if she could go 1 year without screaming at him (she is a yeller- no way I could live with that) he would get a vasectomy the very next day. She took to marking the days off on the calendar. The longest she has lasted in the last 4 years is 19 days. LOL.
