    Guys, I’ve been punching myself in the balls everyday for hours at a time and now my sperm can’t swim!

      You could spend 600 bucks and get a vasectomy that will hurt way less and get the same result, they even gave me ice packs to keep the swelling down for that money.

        $600 bucks! Wow, every time I hear more about the American medical system I’m shocked.
        I suppose it’s still cheaper than having an accidental kid.

          After seeing the $600 number was from Canada, I looked it up for USA and $600 is the floor for out of pocket. It goes up to $3,000 with the median being $1500

          That was in Canada at a private clinic.

          I could have gotten it done at a regular hospital but that would be elective surgery at their choice of times and also would not have been a quick recovery. I booked the time that worked for me.

          The surgery I got was a small pin sized hole in the scrotum then the vas are pulled out, disconnected, and capped so they won’t reconnect. I went to work that night with ice packs and didn’t miss any work. Fortunately I was on desk duties for that month so I recovered quite well within a week and took my time getting back to full lifting after 3 weeks.
