I had it done about 6months ago, my wifes birth control was just messing her up and to get her tubes tied was way to much money. We have 3 kids so i figured i was done and i hate condoms so that wasn't really an option, now its nice to have with no worries and just get busy. The procedure didn't hurt except the needle they put in your sack, all you could feel was alittle tugging and burning smell of your vas deferens. Yes they do tie them and burn'em, your suppose to have 20 ejaculations before you have sex to be sure your mojo is dead. I did get pretty bad swelling and they were black and blue for 2 weeks even with ice all day. Over all it was worth it, but i have 3 kids you don't and you never know what gurl or changes in your life are gonna happen, give it alittle time bc this is a huge decision.
