Think a vasectomy might ruin your sex life? Think again! New research indicates that men who’ve undergone vasectomy procedures might, in fact, have greater sexual satisfaction and an increased sexual activity than men who haven’t had a vasectomy. This Valentine’s Day, NorCalVas is offering no-scalpel vasectomies, so if you and your partner want permanent birth control (and increased intimacy), contact our team to schedule a consultation!
One of the reasons many men who otherwise would consider permanent birth control don’t consider vasectomy a viable option is that they’re afraid it could negatively impact their sex drive. However, there is research suggesting that vasectomies might enhance sexual activity. The International Society for Sexual Medicine published a study that found that men in their sample group who’d undergone vasectomy had more sex than the men who hadn’t had the procedure. Of the approximately 6,000 men studied, it was reported that the men who’d had vasectomies had sex an average of 6 times per month. Non-vasectomized men reported an average of 5 times.
One of the reasons why men who’ve had vasectomies may experience an increase in sexual encounters is that the fear of unintended pregnancy has been removed, reducing anxiety and giving them more confidence.
The vasectomy procedure itself does not physically affect sexual performance – the ability to produce testosterone is not impacted, nor is the ability to achieve an erection. The no-scalpel vasectomy procedure involves closing off the vas deferens, preventing the transfer of sperm from the testicles and into the urethra. The no-scalpel procedure accesses the vas deferens using a hemostat, which makes an opening so small that sutures are not required, and the discomfort level is so low that it has been described as feeling like a rubber band being snapped at the area.
While having a vasectomy doesn’t guarantee more sex, it certainly won’t diminish your existing sex drive or opportunity. If you think removing the concern about the possibility of a pregnancy could enhance your sexual desire and would like permanent birth control, a no-scalpel vasectomy could be right for you.
