I got snipped last February and am in my 30’s (and also in the US).
It was a quick procedure, took maybe 20-30 minutes tops but the recovery was several days of rest and icing. I highly recommend bags of frozen peas for the recovery period.

For such a quick procedure the waiting lists are soooo long

I can assure him, there is no chance of him being aroused through that procedure.
Personally I wouldn’t want anyone coming near me with anything sharper than teeth if I was awake.
There is absolutely nothing arousing about the procedure, so tell him to man up and get it done.

I was given a general anesthetic ( surgeon said he preferred using general) . Think they can be more intrusive and put in an extra knot 
.
Seriously, I was out for about 25 mins no more .Apart from a mild ache the next day it was a breeze and quite liberating knowing you can bonk to your hearts content without any thought. My wife relaxed and felt better not having to think about contraception.
Oh and tell him he will not notice any difference with his orgasm. Not to be too graphic, just a more liquid ejaculate.
The vasectomy I got was referred to as a bilateral. An H shaped scar on both balls.
You will both be glad he had the procedure.
Have lots of sex fun.

I have literally just had a call to go in for mine - only 2 and half years on the waiting list 
Granted, covid would have had an impact but hey. Since that time my BH been done, but going to go ahead and face my fears.
@Iwill I asked if they would knock me out for mine, and the clinic only do local. I have a neurological condition and my legs can go into spasms, so they’ll either have to refer me, tie the legs up, or accept they’ll take a knee to the head at some point.
I have to say, lots of fear around anything surgical for me - would much rather be out of it, wake up and it all be done and dusted. Will see what they say when I have the consult with the doc

Wishing you all the best, I’m sure you will be fine… pair of tight budgie smugglers might be required for a few days though…just for support.
Yes, definitely briefs, not boxers. Coming from personal experience lol

Thanks @Iwill, yeah it’s one of those things where my head will make it out to be a lot worse than it is.
Will definitely get myself some budgie smugglers to help through the first few days or so
@WelshDragonette I wish him all the best!

@Lovehoney_Brenna … OK OK…I thought it was a humorous photo upload relating to the vasectomy thread… just a little joke to put @Mr_Kink1 at ease.

Ok fair enough… I thought it was funny though maybe just me.
If you wish to share the image it can be posted in this dedicated thread and linked here:

I’m sure it would have been funny, unfortunately I missed the moment.
Sorry you got your bum smacked by @Lovehoney_Brenna
It was a cartoon picture, of a guy with a wheel barrow , carrying his undercarriage.
