Thank you all for the great advice. If you have any additional advice please feel free to share it with me.

At this time I think I have firmly decided to have the no scalpel procedure. I have my annual physical with my doctor next week and am going to bring it up at that time to get the referral to a urologist.

Thank you all again for helping provide information on this very important decision for me!

Also, another question I have, the recovery time. I know you pretty much have to lay on the couch for a couple of days, I plan on that. I know I wouldn't be able to play tennis (which I play 2 - 3 times a week) for about 2 weeks. Other than that, what should I know?

The other big thing is the following, is recovery feasible alone. I can arrange a friend to drive me to and from obviously, but I am single and live alone. My parents do not even know I'm considering this and will not know. If I make the appropriate preparations, is recovery by myself with no help feasible?

Liuyaming do you think some doctors would elect not to do the procedure on me simply due to my age? What do you think I should do to overcome any kind of possible objection by the doctor based on age?

Evil Little Thing do you think it would really be that much of a turnoff to women, even those who also are not interested in having children?

If I was 21 and saying I didn't want to have kids that's one thing, but I'm 32, I do feel like I know myself pretty well now and won't change. If something crazy did happen though it's not like I'd be out of luck, adoption is always still an option.

Heck for me I guess it is partially political, our world is so overpopulated it's crazy, I feel like we need more people like me who want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

Thanks for the responses so far, good to hear other perspectives and what to expect. As for the three questions the doctor asked liugaming, I would be answering no to all three of those questions as I am not currently married or even in a relationship. Do you think there are doctors who would actually say they wouldn't do it in my situation?

Can doctors actually decline to do it even if I am completely committed to it?

No, this isn't some joke or comedy thread, I actually am considering getting this procedure done. I am 32 years old and at this point have pretty much decided that even if I ever do get married I have no interest in having children.

With that said, while I do enjoy sex I do a lot of times get nervous even with protection about the potential consequences. As I have gotten older (not old but beyond my 20s where you feel invincible) I have not had sex nearly as often (to be honest I haven't had sex in the last 2 years) out of the fear of getting the woman pregnant.

I look at a vasectomy as true sexual freedom, that I can then not even have to worry anymore. I wanted to get some opinions though on what you all think about it, especially from the female perspective as well as from the male perspective of anyone who has the procedure done.

From the female perspective, how would you look at a guy that you are considering or are already dating if he came out and said he had a vasectomy done? From the male perspective, if you have had the procedure, is there anything specific I should know about it? What are some things the average person considering the procedure might not think about but should?

I definitely thank you all for helping me with this very important personal decision.

Not really, I will say technically I'm 5'7" 1/2 but I always just round that up to 5'8".

Haha I don't debate that, I feel like UNO could put together a better looking cheerleader team than the Saints do, why I have no clue. :lol: But at least she could be a part of changing that! Never mind she would be able to stay probably for at least 4 - 5 years. I have to imagine that average lifespan of a Cowboys cheerleader is 2 years max. :lol:

CBS has to be absolutely p*ssed about this. Their first primetime game was more about Ray Rice than the actual game and now their second primetime game they get an absolute snoozer that no one will be watching in the second half. Not a great start for their Thursday night games.

I also agree that neither of our games against the Bucs should be close. With that said, with the way we are playing on the road so far anything is possible.
