It went so well for me, I thought that within a few years every vasectomy would be done that way.
I didn't have sex that night, but if I remember correctly, it was only about 3 or 4 days later.
Poor Ed. Looks like you just missed getting in on the new technique.
P.S. I know I said 25 years ago in my first post, but I re-did the maths in my head and it's really more like 30 years ago. I actually could have saved myself some trouble and just asked my youngest son how old he is.
