The dude is married to his mother, not to an equal partner. He had to sneak away to buy it. He didn't feel like he could talk it over with her beforehand. In the end, he was forced to return it, and then come to a degrading compromise to get his toy. Bizarre how the whole "leaving the kids at the hotel" is just glossed over - great parenting skills.

We ALL know what it does and doesn't do. What it should not be for is the procurement of technological fripperies. It's unnecessary surgery - didn't the guy think of saving up for his iCrap?

Therefore sexual desire (libido) and the ability to have an erection and an orgasm with an ejaculation are not affected. from wikipedia:

And sex is great, really helps your wife/partner to know that you are "good to go" at a moments notice without having to worry about birth control. My sex drive has seen no drop at all. Farty,

I hear you can get a valve that you can turn on, with surgery, and then off. Meh, I agree with some crazy dork, the control freaks me out. Vasectomys can be reversible, but, only in rare occasions.

But.... the concept of someone having that much control over me creeps me out. I mean, what if they broke up? What if she died and he wanted to have kids with some he'd meet years later? I'll remain unmarried before I marry someone who puts conditions (surgical conditions, nonetheless) on what gadget I can buy or not. It not a matter of manliness or whatever, its a matter of creepy controling-ness. I don't want an iPhone. But.... the concept of someone having that much control over me creeps me out.

Neatorama readers obviously don't even know what a vasectomy is (either that, or they equate sperm production with manliness). Maybe a simple explanation could be a future post. I've always wanted to know how they manage those "no-scalpel" ones... If this guy already had at least three kids, there's no reason he shouldn't have had a vasectomy. Especially if he leaves his children unattended in hotel rooms. So much ignorance.
