TODAY'S ENTRY is a special one. This one includes information on woman's health and a procedure that I recently went through. I encourage both men and women to read what I have written. Men, because one day you might find yourself with a partner that has had this done, and you will better be able to respect and appreciate what she has chosen.

Wow. I feel like my man-ovaries just grew another 3 inches after reading that. If it makes you feel better, it is hard for any man (including myself) to read a sentence discussing doing those sorts of things to testicles without partially feeling those sorts of pains downstairs.

"Ah fael yore pain" - My clinton impression

I am just really happy about my decision, because even though it hurt like death, seriously my appointment in total from beginning to end was only like 15 minutes and now I don't have to worry about babies for 10+ years!

I feel that men generally have no idea about the ladies anatomy and so in not putting this behind a cut, I feel that men might actually read it and gain a little more understanding.

Thanks for reading it, though. I tried to make it as informative to the procedure as possible.

And the fact that it can be undone so simply and then things are back and ready for action...that's the part I'm marvelling about.

I still feel like I've got a lego shoved inside my testicles though :(.

poor you! Just think though, that women have big caverns so now that it's there, there is no pain! I am touched by your sympathy pains, though! Truly i am!

For the record, there is nothing momentary about the pain of having one's testicles crushed. It's a pain that you can enjoy for a looooong time.

PS: Good for you! I hope everything goes smoothly. I've heard a lot of horror stories regarding the pill. I've experienced a couple. It's just that... well... condoms suck. I mean, if it's a casual thing they're absolutely necessary, but in a committed relationship condoms suuuuuuck.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I had recently decided to get an IUD because I am too forgetful to remember a pill and BC shots make me gain a ton of weight, and because I'm breastfeeding my daughter, I can't get the patch or anything. My OB said it was a fantastic idea, and since I trust her 100% I decided to go with it.

Thank you for this entry. Now that I know what to expect, I'm not worried anymore. Heck, I've had 2 babies coming downstream... I think I can handle something small going upstream! But thank you!!! This really makes me more confident with my decision!

and it probably won't hurt you nearly as much as it did me! I've never had children, so my cervix has never dialated. Your insertion will probably be very easy. And you've experienced pain that I will probably never endure (as I plan to adopt), and I respect you so much for that!

Well, I have to admit that I'm a little more worried about the pain than I was previously, but it's good to know what to expect. And gees, that sounding procedure sounds pretty bad. I'm hoping having given birth will help me get through it easily. But, to be honest, I'm really looking forward to the procedure even though I know that there will be pain..I was due for a depo shot almost two weeks ago and I can't wait to get that stuff out and get back to 'normal'.
Anyway, this was very informative, thanks.

Interesting. I've never heard of such a thing before, but now that I know I'll be sure to spread the information to any woman I know is having issues with the pill. I can imagine it would be worse than any testicle stomping though. At least testicles have had a chance to endure the toughening being on the outside of the body provides. It's not like stuff random objects into your fallopian tubes every day to toughen 'em up. Or maybe you do. *imagines himself sitting at the dinner table wondering where that fork just went* I'm not here to judge.

Sometimes I wish men had some secret science unknown to popular culture that we could describe in detail online in order to gross out our female counterparts. Unfortunately there's no Diva Cup for men.

Maybe I should just flood my journal with goatse pics.

When I hear the phrase "yeastie beasties!" I think of those cleaning commercials where these little animated germs are bumming around the toilet giving each other the evil eye until Mr. Clean comes along and sweeps them all away. So the commercial running through my head has this huge hairy vagina (because of course she doesn't shave) covered in animated beasties, then all of a sudden a bald man with an earing appears out of nowhere and winks. Instantly she's completely shaved and the beasties are gone. Cut to scene of bald man holding a mop and a speculum, wink at camera, then scroll advert.
I suppose I could always discuss the finer points of booger collecting.
