    Honestly the scrotal lidocaine injections for a vasectomy weren’t bad. A very unnatural sensation but no worse than a needle in the arm.

      Getting hit in the balls is a lot more painful than a vasectomy in most case.

      I’d take the vasectomy “pain” over getting hit in the balls any day of the week
