HomeBrewTalk. Where guys go to get scrotum-shaving advice.

I'm over at homescrotumshavingtalk.com right now giving advice to n00bs on how to brew beer....

Hopefully not about nut browns.

There's a guy over there throwing around risk analysis math about how if you drink one beer in your life, you have an increased chance to die of liver failure and various cancers, so it makes sense to not take the risk, isn't there?

Careful with the scrotum shaving guys. Buddy of mine got mrsa on his sack from shaving which led to a painful er visit.

Back on topic, had mine done in December after baby #3. It was less than pleasant but I survived. I would say go for it but do consider any scenario in which you might want to have more children. Life circumstances do change, often abruptly and unexpectedly...

 

[Natdavis777]

Carefully!



I do mine twice a week now. Once you get into the habit, it's hard to go back. Do it in the shower, with a nice, sharp razor. Run the water as hot as you can stand for a while to relax the skin (just like shaving your face). TMI Alert. Pull the skin taut a little bit as you run the razor over it to get a closer shave.



Or get a friend to help. Preferably female. Or a guy, not that there's anything wrong with that.

That paints a picture...


I'm too afraid to get that close with a razor. I go with clippers. Have a dedicated pair under the sink.

First post op sample was negative. Second post op sample had spermatozoa present. WTF! Calling doc tomorrow to get more info.

Get snipped, then, Your a sex toy! Who doesn't like sex toys

Doh! That sucks. I've got a couple more weeks before I'm supposed to submit my sample. I've done a quick "self-check" with my own microscope and couldn't find anything, so I'm hopeful. How long ago was your op?

 

[Littlestan]

Had it done 12 years ago at age 23 and very happy with how it turned out and the benefits it has given me over the years.

7/7, would highly recommend for anyone not wanting to have children of their own, which more people should seriously consider.

March 4th. Def over the 20+ rounds that's supposed to clear it. Could be non-motile as all they report is presence, not liveliness. Did some reading and for some, it takes up to a year to clear.

As for self checking, it may be deceiving as they centrifuge the sample to concentrate the swimmers to make it easier to find.

Ah, good point. I tried accomplishing the same effect by windmilling my arm, but I just ended up making a big mess.

I've stopped masturbating that way just for that reason.

 

[blizz81]

All that means is all you have to do is spin your partner the opposite way to have any swimmers exit.

 

[Hophunter]

Update: Called the office, receptionist was confused by how the results were presented. (I got the results online originally). She called the lab and was told that both tests were negative. Why they were reported differently, she couldn't say. I guess I got room for a lawsuit to pay for raising a third kid if it happens.

 

[kombat]

Congrats, @Hophunter. I know some guys resubmit a sample for testing every year or two anyway, just to make sure. Might be something to consider.

 

[piratefan]

I have two kids (I type this at 5AM while one continues to scream - as she has for an hour now), and I got it done as soon as the younger turned 1. Best decision I could have made. It hurt for about 6 weeks, but nothing a good stout or two couldn't solve. No side effects that I can tell.

 

[kombat]

Today is 12 weeks. Submitted my sample for testing.

I want tasting notes in Beer Advocate style.

Eew!

 

[kombat]

Just got my test results: "No motile sperm - no contraception required." BOOYAH! Woohoo!

And I think everyone is breathing just a little easier right now!

Congrats kombat.

I got that same idea after a Who concert...

 

[kombat]

Wow. Should've done this years ago. Condoms suck. Friday and Saturday nights were awesome. Going for the hat trick tonight.

 

[gruversm]

Yes....just have a bag of frozen peas ready.

At the risk of inviting TMI, does anyone have any suggestions regarding a "cleanup" protocol? This part is new to my wife and I, and she's ... unimpressed ... with the transfer in post-action cleanup responsibilities.

I'm not really clear on what you are trying to ask here.

she doesn't like getting ejaculated into....its messy. Leaving a wet spot....not fun to sleep in. Need I go on?

A towel underneath you guys will work.

 

[Inkleg]

My reputations ruined already, heck I'll go there.
First, putting a towel on the bed ensures no one is sleeping in the wet spot. Any other piece of furniture in the house, plan accordingly. Next I'll go 50/50 of either in or pull out and finish on. This helps relieve her with having to deal with all the post action clean up responsibility everytime. Then we're both off to the shower for post action clean up, but sometimes that just starts it all over again.

Then there is always............never mind........that would be TMI.
