    I opted for a tubal, but we've had friends who have had them. Pretty much the consensus was it was nothing, no big deal. They feel the same before as they did after and have had no issues. Recovery was very minimal.

    Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.

    My fiance is thinking of getting one since my uterus flat out rejected IUD attempts. After much research and talking to people we've concluded nearly all impact on sex drive or emotional change is likely a result of psychological effects not physical. The remainder that do have a physical explanation are both uncommon and short term. I can't gurantee there isn't some rare person out there that had bad reactions but we failed to find any study results that proved any long term negative effects were the result of physical problems if any of them were even physical instead of completely psychological.

    We also found some evidence that testosterone levels and sex drive may even be increased by a vasectomy.

    Unfortunately I don't think either one of us saved any links or anything.
