Re: Re: Re: True Gary but...
Ok. Cool.. I think you are a good bloke for taking matters into your own hands. However, the following info may be of interest:
Dr. Richard Petty, head of a men’s clinic in London, reported on a study of 445 men who complained of impotence. Petty found that there was a "marked reduction" in testosterone levels when the vasectomy had been performed more than ten years ago. For some reason, testosterone levels tend to rise after a vasectomy, but drop later on.
Conflicting with the Gale Encyclopedia of Health:
There are very few risks associated with vasectomy other than infection, bruising, epididymitis (inflammation of the tube that carries the sperm from the testicle to the penis), and sperm granulomas (collection of fluid that leaks from a poorly sealed or tied vas deferens). These are easily treated if they do occur. Patients do not experience difficulty achieving an erection, maintaining an erection, or ejaculating. There is no decrease in the production of the male hormone (testosterone), and sex drive and ability are not altered. Vasectomy is safer and less expensive than tubal ligation (sterilization of a female by cutting the fallopian tube to prevent conception).
and even more conflicting:
(www.vasectomy-information.com) Yes. Your testes still produce testosterone so there is no reduction in your masculinity. Some major studies indicate that the level of testosterone in vasectomised men seems to decrease more slowly with age, so vasectomised men seem to have higher levels of testosterone longer into their lives than the non-vasectomised. This led to the fear some years ago that vasectomy may lead to increased incidence of prostate cancer. Later and more comprehensive studies have removed this fear.
Oh well... maybe I was wrong!?

Well Gary, never thought of it that way. You see my wife was not allowed to take the "pill" anymore for her health. It is an easier operation on a man then on a woman. That's why. So i guess i have to take more Test then others.
