The Snip

I've come to that stage in my life where it's pretty clear that my wife and I aren't going to be having any more kids. My wife went to the doctors the other day to get her prescription for the pill renewed and they suggested to her that I should get a vasectomy. Just thinking about it makes me cringe, but I know that it is something that I should do and it really makes a lot of sense for many reasons including the ongoing health of my wife.
I'd be uncomfortable no matter if it was a male or female doctor, I just don't like the idea of stripping off in front of anyone and then letting them cut me down there. After it's all done you have to go back and give them a sample three months later to make sure that it has worked. I don't even like the thought of giving them a sample, maybe if my wife helped with that part it would be ok, but it just seems wrong somehow.
Anyway, after my wife told me about it, I think she gathered that I might need some prodding to get it actually done so she has gone ahead and already made an appointment for me to see someone next week. The only good thing is that this Dr does hundreds of vasectomy each year, so he should know what he is doing and has probably dealt with other blokes who were a little uncomfortable with the idea of it all.
It's not like I want to have more children, or that even if something happened to my wife and I re-married, I'd still not be wanting more children. I don't want to be old enough to be my own child's grandfather and I would want to still be alive to see them grow into adults and have children of their own.
I think I'm just afraid that something might happen down there that might make things stop working the way they should and that wouldn't be good at all.

still cringing at the thought.
