I would wait but I would also inquire regularly about what's going on. My main doctor is really great about not running behind but I have on specialist who I reluctantly go to. It doesn't matter if you book the first appointment of the day, you'll be there for 2 hours. Afternoon, she's always running behind, and honestly, she doesn't really seem to care. I've seen her talk to pharma reps while a patient is waiting. Luckily I only have to see her every 6 months.
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!
I don't think I ever said I was a 10 on the looks scale. I know I'm a 5 or 6 and I know there are plenty of women out of my league. That has nothing to do with this discussion. I honestly truly don't want children, especially to some woman I barely know.

Why do some of you think there's an ulterior motive behind this? I promise you there isn't, I am being genuine.
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?
Yeah I figured it was expensive to freeze sperm, I had seen that on multiple other sources. I don't need it anyway, if I do it I know I won't change my mind later. Plus I don't have particularly good genes to pass along anyway, lol.

And what is it with you all and beta males, lol. Yes I am straight, 100%, but yeah I'm a beta. I've never been the alpha dog type. Why do some of you all consider beta males to be bad? I'm a beta and proud of it.
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?

More good replies, thanks again. I've seen several of you mention having sperm frozen before the procedure, in case I change my mind (which I'm confident I won't but an option to consider). I am not against doing that, but what are the costs associated with it? I've heard that can be very expensive.
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.
el Guacho do you know how common this complication is? Was it just completely random or was the doctor inexperienced doing the procedure? Was your friend older, did that have anything to do with it? I definitely want to hear more about complications and side effects from this procedure.
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?
Haha thatmakessense no I just realized it was a mistake, this past year has been so crazy that when I thought back at it I was just like "wait, yeah 2013 was the last year I had sex and I had sex 4 times that year." Forgot it was 2016 already, hard to believe how fast the last couple of years have flown by.

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.

Let her go, if she freaks out over something that small you are going to be having this type of stuff happen in the marriage.

I agree with others that it sounds like she maybe has some self esteem issues. Just be glad this happened before you got married and she could take half your money with her.
Not really, I will say technically I'm 5'7" 1/2 but I always just round that up to 5'8".
He definitely seems to have calmed down now. I'm guessing one of three things happened:

1) He's a wimpy man and the wife put him back in line and reminded him who's boss in their relationship and to stop embarrassing her.
2) Family and friends are absolutely blowing up his phone telling him he's on national TV and embarrassing himself.
3) A USC official quietly went down during commercial and probably told him to get in line or he would be gone.

Good entertainment for awhile though.
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. 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.
I agree with the other poster, I gave her my vote but really, no Saintsation, do not care.

In all seriousness though come on, how can she be trying out for the Cowgirls? I could understand if she was an LSU student but originally from Texas (since a lot of LSU students do come from Texas) or if she lived in like Lake Charles or Shreveport but she's from Gonzalez, I mean that's south of Baton Rouge going towards NOLA!

I won't lie and say I know anything about how the cheerleading business works in the NFL. I know that the Cowboys cheerleaders are the most recognizable but at the end of the day they are still cheerleaders. I mean didn't some cheerleaders raise a fuss a few years back about how badly they are treated by the NFL teams? The fact that they are paid by the game and have no real health benefits or even allowed to use team facilities if injured during a game. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought I heard that. Either way it's not a full time career by any means and I seriously doubt there's a big difference in pay between the Saints and Cowboys. Maybe I'm wrong but does anyone know for sure?

Come on Jaclyn, don't betray your home state and home NFL team! Come back home, God knows the Saintsations could use all the help it can get.
Otherwise we'd really be in trouble right now. As bad as we are right now at least the NFC South is an absolute dumpster fire right now and shaping up to be like the NFC West back in 2010 (when a 7 - 9 Seattle team won the division).

Honestly if we somehow managed to beat Atlanta in the Dome, beat Tampa in Tampa and sweet Carolina I think we could win the division with a 6 - 10 record, as sad as that is to think about. With that said, I think realistically if we can win those games and then sneak out another victory (Cincinnati in the Dome or Pittsburgh on the road would probably be the best chances) and get to 7 - 9 we should be in good shape.

Hey, I have to positive somehow right?

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.
Vols&Shaft I hope for your sake that you are joking and not truly being serious. If you aren't joking I truly feel sorry for you. I really wish you would take this topic more seriously.
So essentially you don't believe in free will? You believe that men and women should be forced into largely artificially constructed gender roles? I guess men can't be artists then? I guess women can't be scientists or doctors?

Do you really think it's wrong if a girl likes cars and that it's wrong if a boy likes flowers?

While we're at it lets just take away women's right to vote.

Stop living in the 19th century and try to join us here in the 21st century where we should all be treated as individuals and not constrained by stupid gender rules.

Great respect for women there. So a male is weak if he's the type of man who's in a more traditional woman role (say cooking or teaching) and he gets beat up by his girlfriend who is a personal trainer and does cross fit. A man is weak if he wakes up and he is restrained in some manner and his girlfriend/wife starts beating up on him? A man is weak if a woman hits him with a crowbar in the back when he isn't looking? A man is weak if he can't handle his girlfriend/wife who just happens to be a marine?

Are you saying that no matter how strong a woman is that they are automatically inferior to men? To me it seems like you have no real respect for women if you believe that they are so weak.
Thank you EA6B, you understand what is really happening in our society. It doesn't surprise me at all almost none of the men press charges. They'll never be allowed to live it down if they do. Our society essentially tells them that they can't.
Genro I would dare you say that to a militant feminist group. They would say that women are completely equal to men and most likely would claim superiority. They would instantly hate you because they would assume by different you are saying inferior.

Now can we all treat this topic a little more seriously. This is exactly what I'm talking about, you all treat domestic violence against women so seriously and just laugh away at domestic violence against men. This is why women can't report when this crime has happened to them. This is why domestic violence against men is one of the most underreported crimes in our society. Is this really a joke to you all?

Would you be laughing if a male friend or family member had been a victim of domestic violence?
I agree with you that men need to stop hitting women. Would you also not agree that women need to stop hitting men? it goes both ways or are you one of the people who actually believe that only women are victims of domestic violence?
Obviously the Ray Rice domestic violence situation is a huge topic right now and has largely overshadowed almost anything else in sports, including the start of the NFL season. We have heard all the opinions on what should happen to Ray Rice and even what should happen to Roger Goodell. However, I want to approach this whole subject from a different perspective. It is my opinion that we are not having the discussion about domestic violence that we should be having and since it is such a relevant topic right now we need to have a hard honest conversation as a society about all domestic violence.

When we hear about domestic violence, what is the typical scenario? The typical scenario of course is a man beating a woman, typically his wife or girlfriend. With that said, what about domestic violence against men? Many studies have been concluded that domestic violence against men is one of the most underreported crimes in the country and that it is far more common than our society wants to believe. Simply put, just like we care about women's right far more than about men's rights, we only care about domestic violence when it is the women who is the victim. Why is this right?

Now many would say that men should come forward if they are a victim. We all know of course what the problem is, our society. When a woman is a victim of this horrible crime we rally around her and support her, when a man is a victim what do we do. We laugh at him, question his manhood and even worse, don't take it seriously. Both men and women are guilty of this. Just like many female rape victims don't say anything because they are ashamed, many male domestic violence victims don't say anything out of fear of how they'll be looked at. Why is this fair? Why do we accept this?

Lets look at a scenario and lets see how you all respond. Lets say a man reports that he was the victim of domestic violence by his girlfriend, who just happens to be a WNBA star or member of the US Women's Soccer team, or a Tennis star, whatever. Video comes out of this women beating and knocking her boyfriend out cold. Essentially the same thing as the Ray Rice situation, but simply reversing the genders. If this scenario happens, does it become a huge deal? Does it even make the news? My guess is it doesn't, or if it does it's easily swept under the rug and somehow it's made out to be the guy's fault, which to me is a very sad commentary on our society.

And this all goes back to how women manipulate our society. How many years now have the militant feminists and other women's rights groups roared out "I can do anything a man can do" or "anything a man can do a woman can do better" or "I don't need a man for anything." Yet when it fits them they want to go right back to the way it was in the 50s. They don't want the test for the marines to be as difficult for them as it is for men. They still want men to pay the whole bill for the first date. They want society to believe that domestic violence only happens against women. They want to keep those benefits but yet still be treated equal, they want it both ways.

So how can we even think we're having a serious discussion on domestic violence when we don't even recognize that men can just as easily be a victim of domestic violence as a women. When will we realize that we are ignoring the cries for help from the victims of an entire gender. I consider myself an average man, but I know women who do triathlons, women who do cross fit and kick boxing, women who work out regularly. Many of these women could probably kick my a** if they wanted to. Yet if one of these women were to attack me and I hit them back in self defense, we all know who the cops are going to arrest. We all know who is going to be portrayed as the criminal and who will be portrayed as the victim. This is the problem with our society on this issue and until we address this bias and this inequality we can not hope to have a serious discussion on domestic violence.

What do you all think? I'd be particularly interested to hear women's perspectives on this.
Here we go!! Last week was nice and all but it doesn't really feel like football until the first game in the Dome!
Realistically I think you have to look at 8 - 4, 9 - 3 is probably the best case scenario with a win over Wisconsin and staying healthy. Losses would be Bama, Auburn and probably 2 losses between Ole Miss, Wisconsin or Arkansas. Yes I said it, I think Arkansas (right after Bama and before Texas A&M) sets up as a potential trap game for LSU. Seems like under Miles there is at least one game where LSU doesn't show up and I think Arkansas has that potential this year.
Agreed with a previous poster, sit him out for the Titans, have him play a half against the Colts and then sit him out again the Ravens.
I really don't understand why the NFL doesn't allow the teams to stream the game online for out of state fans. Something like say $20 and you get streaming access with either the FOX 8 or CST broadcast. Guess I'll be going the front row sports route as well like in years past. Luckily the Indy game will be on national TV.
