Being a 44 y/o PL who never had kids (by choice); I’ve thought about the snip snip b/c it would be depressing to become a father at my age w/o wanting to be one – but I’m not one to take chances and I would hate to not have my junk working as well as it did b4 the snip snip.
Did it 27 yrs ago. Zero loss in libido. I think I saw a study at one time that linked it to early triggering of male pattern baldness. It may have done that w me, but who knows or cares?
Had it done because the wife was complaining about worrying and didn't like the pill. They told me it wouldn't affect my libido. The sperm is produced then reabsorbed since it doesn't have anyplace else to go, the pipeline is pinched off. But I'll be damned, it seemed like my libido jumped UP! But be forewarned: they tell you that you need to shoot off up to 70-80 times before they can start to pronounce you sterile, so there's a whole lotta spanking going on. Also, they say that it doesn't hurt, but it sure seemed like that cord reached through my whole body as they tugged and pulled. One cord was okay, the other hurt like hell. Afterwards, just felt like sitting in the recliner for a few days with frozen veggies on my crotch. All that crazy monkey love that was promised for after? Another empty promise from the wife.
Had mine done 37 years ago and everything still works. On top of that I take Flomax for an enlarged prostate which causes me to have retrograde ejaculations. Not likely I'll be knocking any body up in this life.
I had my glickers snipped 12 years ago after my 3rd child and my wife and I decided we did not want to have any more. Absolutely one of the best things I have ever done.
Procedure was a piece of cake. Have it done on a Friday and sit on a bag of frozen peas the whole weekend. Watch TV. You should be back on your feet by Monday.
A friend who had it done before me told me that my ice bag would me my best friend for about four days. As it turned out, I experienced no discomfort at all.
There are a couple of options. My urologist asked if I wanted reversible or permanent sterilization (my option). In the permanent version the doc takes about 3/8 inch out of the sperm duct and cauterizes both ends. Those suckers can't ever rejoin! The reversible is normally rejoined by microsurgery but in rare circumstances can rejoin themselves.
I was snipped in 1998. Best decision I ever made. Twice I've been threatened with paternity suits and needless to say it was cheap and easy to deal with them.

Ask her if my libido decreased! :-D

I had no loss of function of any kind.
Just one data point.
