Does Vasectomy Change A Man's Sexual Pleasure? On Testosterone Treatment.
OK so I am looking into a vasectomy . Wife says it is time. Does this change a mans sexual pleasure? Things that run through your mind are your testicles will hand lower or that your testostorone will drop since your body is not send the sperm out. I am already on testostorone treatments. Just don t want this to affect my sec life.

Hi
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
Vasectomy does not change sexual pleasure and does not lower testosterone levels.
Testosterone that is produced in the testes reach the blood stream directly without entering the vas ( which is divided for vasectomy) and hence levels do not change.
There is a chance that tests can lie higher than usual due to scarring caused by surgery but not lower than usual. Hope you are convinced.
