I've been asked that a lot. The answer is no, you don't produce any less. 99%+ of ejaculate is non-sperm seminal fluids, and those are all still present. No change in color, consistency, etc. My wife corroborates and says there are no "other" changes either.

@FCB not at all. It was an outpatient procedure, took about 45 minutes. Got a local anesthetic, a snip, tie and burn, and was up and about in an hour. Whatever minor pain pills they gave me kept things good until I fully healed.

One of the best things I ever did, imo.

Thanks! Really helpful. Love my kids but... I’m done making more.

Dumb question but... what happens when you "finish"... do you produce less...? Sorry, I am just so curious!
