This has been a topic of discussion in my house as of late as well. I think we're going to try for one more young 'un by the end of the year and then it's ::snip, snip:: for my boys as well.

Yeah... I'm 40 and my wife is 39 and we DO NOT want an "Uh-Oh" kid at this point... who wants to deal with a teenager when you're 55?

I don't have any kids and my girlfriend (wife-to-be) and I agreed never to have any. There's enough kids in the world already and we'll have a hell of a lot more fun without little ones running around.
I admire your choice.

But you underestimate the fun of your own children. They're the funnest thing in the world....... and I've done some living. :D

This is similar to our plan. We currently have one child. Last week we decided to throw caution to the wind and see what happens. One more and then we're done. We haven't really talked about the snip-snip part, but I have no problem with it.

It's in my future too. #2 is due on 7/4, so I figure about 9 months or so after that I'll get fixed. Spring mud season sounds about the right time to do it. That way I won't be sitting around missing out on good riding weather.

Dude - mud season is like 2 days long. You'll never time it right. :p

Mud season on the north side of the the hills in the shade. Of course, that's only mud for a short time too. It's ice all the rest of the time. :dead: At least I won't have to worry about missing high country riding in the spring.

bwahahahaha!

btw, what makes it "so worth it"? my wife's on the pill now, so from my (selfish) perspective, what is the benefit for me? i get sore nuts for a few days and get to hand some used spunk captured in a jar to a nurse, versus no sore nuts? :confused:

Being on the pill isn't a sure fire way to avoid pregnancy, I know a couple people who've had kids while being on the pill. Getting snipped is a permanant solution to the problem, and the procedure is pretty much guaranteed to work (I know there's random cases where it didn't work but that's like .01 % of the sucessful operations).

Wales rugby fan loses his tackle
Tuesday, 08 Feb 2005 12:57

A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles when Wales beat England in their Six Nations opener at the weekend.

Geoff Huish had so little faith in his side's ability to beat the world champions that he made a rash promise before the match.

"If Wales win I'll cut my balls off," the 26-year-old told friends at Leigh social club in Caerphilly, Mid Glamorgan.

But when his side won 11-9, Mr Huish refused to welsh on his pledge. He went home and severed them with a knife before returning to show friends what he had done.

"He came back later wearing a kilt with his testicles in a bag," a fellow fan who was with Mr Huish at the social club told the Daily Mirror.

"He lifted the kilt up to show everyone what he had done. There was blood everywhere, it was terrible. That's when he collapsed."

Mr Huish was rushed to hospital with his testicles carried in a pint glass full of ice. He is now in a serious condition. Police told the newspaper that he had a history of mental problems.

Dr Ian Banks of the Men's Health Forum commented: "This is a horrific injury. There are so many veins down there, I'm surprised he didn't bleed to death."

true dat. 2 of my girlfriend's sisters have gotten pregnant while on BC. one was on Ortho, and the other on the patch.

K, the one on Ortho, now has 2 kids because of the pill not working. her husband is now snipped.

M, the one on the patch, gave birth to her little girl about a year ago. her husband is soon to get snipped.

Because you'll never have to worry about getting her pregnant, her forgetting to take the pill or the pill not working. And if she DOES get pregnant, she's got a lot of explaining to do.

whats wrong w/ shaving it? i shave mine as per my gfs request and she goes down there alot more now. and its alot cleaner feeling and looking too
Ahh-HAA! Nice try there, bunnyboy, but the 'shaving the junk' thread has already been played out. Suffice it to say that if you are a male and do so, you either have other hygiene issues or are trying to keep your small sapling from being lost in the weeds. Would you paint your nails purple if you were offered more head? Be a man and let your tackle hang proudly and unlike something Michael Jackson would want to cuddle up with!

I hear you guys, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm very protective of my boys, you see!

how do you feel about shaving eyebrows? like, if you have one giant eyebrow when you should have two? do you shave a patch from the middle or be a uni-brower?

my surgery was covered....i guess they'd rather pay for that surgery than for my wife to have another baby :D

dude...it really didnt hurt that bad......until 6 weeks later when i smacked my boys on the seat after coming up short on a double.......all i can say is -bartlett pear- for size comparison :eek: still not back to normal after over 6 months, i'm just too busy to get to the DR to have it checked out. so just be careful afterwards and you'll be alright.

Our local bike shop wrench got snipped THEN found out his wife was pregnet. Apparently that pre-snip fooling around got him in trouble.

yep, pill is not 100% effective. There is a failure rate on it. about 2/100 according to the FDA.
Plus, from the women's point of view, it's really not good to be messing with the hormones like that for years and years. There's a lot to be said for knowing that you are done, done, done.... very stress reducing.
