Original Reddit post

Hi! I am a girl, 27F, asking questions about the vasectomy because I am curious. This is about my boyfriend (30M), have been dating him for 2 year now. He had a vasectomy at the end of February (last month). It had been over 3 weeks since the surgery and he has been recovering well. The reason for the vasectomy is a long story. My boyfriend has autism and he is currently living with his family. He can do basic things, like cleaning, cooking, going to work, driving, taking care of finances. After Halloween last year, my boyfriend and I began to have sex. His mom found out and decided to booked an appointment for her fear of us having children (although we both used protection). It created a lot of drama between myself and his family. That’s another story. Since his surgery, he is taking this thing so seriously to the point where he has ignored every help I have given him to help recover from the vasectomy. I looked up the vasectomy on the internet and Reddit and have found that most men were told to ejaculate like 20-30 times to help get all of the sperm out. My boyfriend’s doctor never said that to him, therefore he hasn’t done it and refused to do it. One of my questions is: is he supposed to ejaculate to remove all of the sperm? Another one I am having trouble with is him possibly getting permanent damage if he doesn’t take care of this correctly. He told me this today and I am confused because what permanent damage would happen while he is still recovering? That’s another question. Basically, I am a girl and I have done research about the vasectomy, but I am looking for an outside perspective on the whole process after the vasectomy. I know that he has to wait 4 months until his post check up to see if his sperm is gone. I have been trying to tell him that ejaculating would help remove the sperm quicker, but he is not listening to me. He is strictly stubborn and only listen to his doctor’s orders (and I have been frustrated lately). Also, we did had sex not too long ago, but he used a condom and it was fine. Now he won’t be intimate with me because of the stitches he still has and the fear of permanent damage. I am sorry for going off on a rant but I need an outside perspective because just like I said, I am a girl and I have no clue what men go through. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. submitted by /u/Autumn_Breann
