laverew	The answer is yes to your first two questions. I don't remember how much it cost.............If I had to do it over again I would not get it done........... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Meghan O	Cost depends on your location, your insurance, the medical fees involved, etc. Your best bet is to look to your insurance company or a family planning clinic. As for the technicalities, yes, a man can still get an erection after a vasectomy. All a vasectomy is, is the severing and tying off of the vas deferens. This is the small tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the urethra. (The guy's version of "getting your tubes tied") It does not effect his ability to become aroused or reach orgasm. It simply means that he no longer has sperm in his semen (Although this does take a few months after the actual procedure and is confirmed with a sample test at the doctor's.) Some men have even reported increased sexual activity due to the psychological relief at not worrying about impregnating someone. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pinky-9	yes ... its not like they cut they're penis off Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MommaBear	"IT" still works, it just doesn't "produce". Not sure on the cost of it, but you sound about right. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

auburn	I have no idea of the cost of the procedure, but can you imagine any man willing to line up and have it done if they couldnt get an erection afterwards. It just wouldnt happen! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sam m	its all the same except that theres no sea monkeys,and its about $750,unless you have it done at the vet Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Orionsend	YES! A vasectomy will make you shoot blanks basically, same feeling. Bad points are your going to be SORE for a week or so and heavy lifting will be limited. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

llamallord	You an still get erections. A bad part is that, if you decide to have children, you will not be able to. I recommend donating your sperm to a sperm bank. That way, if you decide to have children, you still have sperm. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Obama 08	Yes, the only difference that his semen will no longer contain sperm. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Madi's Mum	it will still function the same. it will just release fluid, without his little swimming friends. the cost, i dunno. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Thomas C	LOL, yes, he can still get an erection, and he can even still ejaculate. There just won't be any sperm in it. :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kayakdudeus	Absolutely. And he will still have an ejaculate - just no sperm in it. Bad points? Hmmm, you go through a lot of ice packs the day after you have it done. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mary m	yes he can still get an erection. A vasectomy is just like tieing a girls tubes. It ties the guys tubes instead its the only perminate way of birth control for guys Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Elizabeth E	I am not sure about the cost but yes, the man can still get an erection. There would not be so many men getting them if you were able to have sexual intercourse after you had one. It still functions just the same except for the getting you pregnant part. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

han	yes a vasectomy will only prevent sperm from exiting the balls but it will not stop the blood from reaching the penis, which is what causes erections Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

WYATT H	yes u can still get hard. all they do is tie up a tube that provent sperm from gettin mixed in w/ the semen Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

*Freedom*	What man would get one if the answer to that question was no? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

D. Bronco	the fact is that he won't be able to send sperm thru the vas deferens but everything else remains unchanged...in other words u won't know the diff! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Darby	A vasectomy does not affect a man ability to have sex or to ejaculate. The operation severs the tube that carries the sperm so it can't mix with the ejaculation fluid. To make a woman pregnant, another operation would have to be performed to repair the tube, which may or may not be successful. I have no idea how much the operations costs or if it's covered by insurance. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Izzy	Yes, everything will be the same Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mr.me	what the hell are girls answering this for? ha...well yea.. they can. And your your man will be ok.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bobpegoh	Of course Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

supersaiyan4elby	Yep he can and can still have sex all the surgery does is prevent the goods from coming out so to speak lol Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

EW	YES Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pigskin_player2003	yes, the erection is caused by blood rushing to nerves, which has nothing to do with what you would lose after a vasectomy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jeselynn95603	not sure about cost.. matters where you are and how the procedure is done.. but past that he can still get an erection.. everything functions the same.. just shoots blanks.. pre-seminal fluid without sperm... they cut the line that feeds the hose.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NoMeanDogs	yes-and semen is not diminished either-only the amount of sperm is halted. As for the price-well, I they did it with a dull spoon it might cost $450 to $700! -really. unless it's a teaching medical school -I'd check the yellow pages and ask around-more like $1200 sounds more like it-I'm not fixed-so I 'm only guessing but hey-I pay enough doctor's bills for the family and an emergency room visit can be $300 easy without the xrays-test-meds!!!!!!!!!!-good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jennifer H	yes Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cmrwash	Yea, Vasectomy only cuts the sperm duct so he can't father a child. everything else works, or should the the doctor did it right. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lestermount	Having a vasectomy does not cause impotence. It just keeps him from ejaculating sperm. You can not tell the difference without a microscope. I don't know of any bad points. I have had one for almost 30 years and everything functions fine. I don't know today's cost, but I think it is more than $700. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

click865	I have had a vasectomy since 1982, about a year after my wife and I had our second child. I am pretty sure that I have had at least one erection per day ever since then. The ONLY difference between before and after is whether or not the seminal fluid (the amount of which does not diminish) contains sperm and can fertilize and egg. And I know that the procedure was covered by my insurance so it really didn't cost anything besides a copay. The only bad side is that it is very hard to reverse, so, having any more children should be thought about extensively before having the the very simple and painless operation.
