'Brosectomies' Sound Like The Best Way To Get A Vasectomy

Trending News: The Latest Trend? Guys Are Hanging Out And Getting 'Brosectomies'

Long Story Short

Groups of friends are going out and getting vasectomies together, and urologists are offering snacks, booze and entertainment to make the experience slightly less awful.

Long Story

If you're approaching 40 and feel confident your little soldiers have gone to battle enough in your life, then it might be time get a vasectomy (here's what to expect, if you do). There are several important benefits including the most important: snipping your chances of getting someone pregnant (pun intended). You could also end up having more sex, according to a Stanford University study that showed men with vasectomies get laid 5.9 times per month, compared to 4.9 for guys who have their vas deferens intact.

But the decision is not a light one, I don't need to be the one to tell you that. So urologists have come up with a clever way to make getting the snip a tad easier.

Guys are grabbing their buddies and going to the clinic together in what sounds like the equivalent of a spa day, but with the added feature of a vasectomy. The latest trend, being dubbed "brosectomies," involves men spending thousands of dollars to get an experience that includes booze, steaks and prescription drugs before their vasectomy, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Some of the clinics include “a cushy setting of couches, snacks, big-screen TV, and in some clinics, top-shelf liquor,” according to the article. Others even pick up the guys in limousines.

The vasectomies themselves don't usually take long; eight minutes in some cases. But getting the procedure with friends makes guys feel more comfortable. That, or maybe it's the booze. Either way, it's starting to have benefits for the recovery process.

Urologist Paul Turek runs clinics in Beverly Hills and he wrote in his blog that a group of college pals he hosted “took fewer pain pills, felt better faster and returned to work earlier than the average, go-it-alone-out-on-the-plank, tube-tied patient."

So if you're on the fence about getting a vasectomy and can afford it. What the hell, why not make a special occasion out of it?

One of the clinics tried to attract men to the clinic in March to coincide with March Madness basketball, saying that recovering with something to watch is a great way to pass the time. And it worked, according to the urologist.
