And guys, from what I hear, vasectomies are not so bad, recovery-wise

This is absolutely true. (Sorry, would've posted sooner, but we had a fire drill at work, so I've been standing in the sweltering parking lot with several hundred of my coworkers for the past 30 minutes.) Some time after the birth of our second child, my wife and I decided that I'd have a vasectomy. Yeah, I was a little scared - the thought of sharp objects messing around Down There isn't a pleasant one - but there really wasn't anything to be worried about. The whole procedure took about 20 minutes, and I was only given a local anesthetic. Recovery wasn't bad either. I had it done on a Friday morning, spent the weekend off my feet per the surgeon's recommendation, and was back at work on Monday. I was given a prescription for hard-core painkillers just in case, but I never took anything stronger than ibuprofen. There was a bit of pain in the first few days after the procedure (especially when walking up or down stairs), and I was told not to pick up anything too heavy for a week or two, but that's it. A month later, I took a "sample" <ahem> back to the doctor's office so they could check for signs of life. There were still a few movers and shakers in there, so I came back again in another month and was given the all-clear.

Yep, I can vouch for this too. I will say no more than that. :D
