Faithful Reader JiEL asked in a comment for Wednesday's post:
"We often hear men saying that they have to ejaculate because their balls are «FULL» and they need to empty them. I'm vasectomised since 1982 and for that, I never could empty my balls and didn't feel the urge to do so. For sure, I have some surge of masturbating and when I ejaculate it's only to empty my seminal gland.
All the spermatozoids produced by my testicules are evacuated by other means than an ejaculation. So, to me when men say they need to «bust a nut» it is non sense because the overflow of sperm has other ways to go out of the testicules."
That full, heavy feeling in the balls after a vasectomy? Yep. Normal.
According to doctors at Whitemill Medical Center, where they do no-scalpel vasectomy: "after a vasectomy, some men may develop the sensation that their testicles are “fuller” than normal. This is usually caused by the epididymis becoming filled with stored sperm."
Let's take a look at before snipping....
and after.
Notice that the only difference is that the Vas Deferens have been severed so sperm can't be moved to the seminal vesicles. That means everything else is fully intact and functioning.
When a man feels horny, his balls have the sensation of being full and heavy.
Left long enough without attention, they'll begin to ache.
They can appear swollen - and they are, actually.
According to an article in MEL magazine:
"When a guy becomes horny, the arteries that carry blood to his genitals get bigger (vasodilation) while the veins that carry blood away get smaller (vasoconstriction). Thanks to all that vasodilation, the testes engorge to about 20–50 percent larger than their usual size. When a guy cums, the constricted muscles relax and the additional fluids flow out from the genital area. Only then do the penis and testicles return to their normal size."
So, nothing really changes due to vasectomy. The Dartos and Cremaster muscles in and of the scrotum, and surrounding the testicles still operate as normal, squeezing during orgasm (ejaculation). Cells are pushed into the epidydmis where they are broken down and absorbed. As explained in Biology Stack Exchange
"When the vasectomy is complete, sperm cannot exit the body through the penis. Sperm are still produced by the testicles, but they are soon broken down and absorbed by the body. Much fluid content is absorbed by membranes in the epididymis, and much solid content is broken down by the responding macrophages and re-absorbed via the blood stream. Sperm is matured in the epididymis for about a month before leaving the testicles. After vasectomy, the membranes must increase in size to absorb and store more fluid; this triggering of the immune system causes more macrophages to be recruited to break down and re-absorb more solid content."
Testosterone is released through the bloodstream, and the libido shouldn't be diminished in any way.
The amount and appearance of the semen shouldn't change either. Your cum should look as normal as ever.
If you do notice significant differences, you should probably go back to the urologist who did the surgery and ask why.
Snipped or not, have an enjoyable weekend!
