I also had a vasectomy. Mine came with a free panic attack. Luckily my urologist was really good and started tossing out all sorts of corny dick jokes. It legitimately helped.

That said, I was in and out within an hour and got to jack off as much as I wanted with zero guilt (I was mormon at the time - that's relevant, I promise). Cannibal Corpse made an appearance in my toilet the first couple times.

My wife, on the other hand, had to go to the OR to get her tubal litigation done. She chose to do so as a result of RvW being repealed. But we don't need to worry about condoms, which is nice, since she has a latex allergy.
