Thread: Time for the snip

Well after fathering seven yes "7" with three wives, (in succession I might add ) I thought it was time.

Not before yet another addition to the Williams family; I adopted a "daughter" when she was four as an abandoned kid from Pakistan!

Made me grandfather 17 years later, having got married a few years ago--lovely little girl now four years old, called Andrea.
She's sat here beside me now while I write this

just as well in succession.. imagine if it was all at once trying to maintain 3 families and households and missusses not knowing about the other missusses... Coulda had the snip done for free, with a carving knife, once one or more of them found out!

Crikey--That's going as my dad would say "where angels fear to tread"!

That stated I suppose you could say "Its in the genes"!

My brother who did a lot of UK family ancestry study, dug up (not operative word) the fact that one of our great great uncles had a family in Northampton. Then one in Hove Sussex, plus something of a common law arrangement in Chipping Norton Oxen all at the same time--Busy boy he was!

If you study a bit about in history its was fairly commonplace for women in the 19th and early 20th century to allow marital sex for procreation only.
The poor guy was then left to find it elsewhere!
It seems that it was a fairly widespread practice for a guy to have "a bit on the side" in middle and upper crust families. Talking to my mother in law in one of her lucid moments, she declared that her father a farmer in Idaho, had a widow women in the village that "looked after him" for many a year when his missus had shut the door so to speak. Got a big chuckle from her as she described the "detached menage a trois" so to speak!

This gave rise to hysteria in women often called the English Malady reference found in Bronte novels and best described when reading this-

History House: Why Only Women Get Hysterical
Of coarse there are lost of articles on the subject of “hysterical paroxysm, which makes all sorts of "tittylating" reading about the Victorian era!

back to the docs today. little bit of an infection developing. Luckily I dont have elephant balls yet. Blue balls maybe but not elephant balls.

funny thing is that despite the infection, each day since the op it has been feeling a little bit better than the day before. Reckon I'm back to about 75% now, coming off a low of about 20% when I staggered out of the surgery and down the stairs, feet 6 feet apart, and white knuckles holding onto the banister. Geez that was a rough day!

Walking up hills is still a bit of an issue though.

i got snipped when i was 25
zero kids
went to work 6 hours later, not a good idea.
i had a local, i was awake for the whole thing, but the local wore off very quickly. when he went to do the second snip, the local had worn off. i jumped and he asked, oh, did you feel that? never mind, almost done. haha

By the sounds of it ZEdCARS it wasn't in your genes to often. 7 kids three wives. Definitely wasn't spending to much time within your genes. (( )))IIIIIIID

Fascinating topic. Here's my story

I was snipped a few years ago while living overseas in Dubai. I wanted to allow my wife to come off the pill which she had been on for about 16 years -and apparently carries a cancer risk.

Maybe I'm just a wimp, but I found it an uncomfortable experience. Now I had read all the stuff online about how quick and easy it was -lunchtime visit to the GP and back to work- but in some parts of the world men never get the snip and so medical people don't really know much about the procedure. They expected me to take a general anaesthetic which I refused and was wheeled 'into theatre'. I actually felt the cutting and tugging and then when the sawbones dropped the clamp on the floor and lost the end, he had to go digging for it with a scapel to recover it and tie the knot. Blood everywhere.

Needless to say very heavily bruised and swollen, but after a couple of weeks good as new. On the plus side, the boss was very impressed by my stoicism going through with it .

I was nuts getting it done overseas - but its a simple procedure and very difficult to stuff up too badly. Infection is the main issue.

Tie the knot?

Don't they cauterise it.

You could do it at home with a stanley knife, soldering iron and a tube of superglue.
