atheism and children

[robvalue]

When I had my vasectomy, I thought it was going to be a much bigger deal than it actually was. I thought I'd be made to do 6 weeks of psychotherapy or something, to make sure it wasn't a rash decision or that I wasn't in my right mind.

What actually happened is the doctor asked me, "You realise this means you won't be able to have children, and that reversing the procedure isn't always effective?" I said "Yes" and signed a document to that effect. Half an hour later he was hacking away at my balls.

Eventually I felt a sense of relief. It wasn't really bad, not as bad as I would have imagined, it was more the thought of it than anything else. It was finally over and I could relax.

"That's one done, I'm just moving to the next one now."

Fuck! How could I have forgotten how many balls I have?

The after effects weren't nearly as bad as I thought either. I had a bag of frozen peas on my lap for a day or so, and the odd twinge, but apart from that it went smoothly. I'd recommend it. 4 stars out of 5.
