Attention Men: Want To Get Your Vasectomy In Front Of A Live Audience? Adelaide Is The Place For You

[Initech]

Organisers hope a number of public vasectomies can be performed in Adelaide later in the year.

The surgeon involved and academics will take questions from the audience during the procedure.

The Royal Institution of Australia's Lisa Bailey said the organisation was keen to encourage wider and more open discussion on male contraception and population control.

"How vasectomy fits into cultural practices both in Australia and around the world and, to go along with all of this, we will actually be having live vasectomies performed on stage," Ms Bailey said.

1. Cool! Knowledge is empowerment!

After seeing the ease of the procedure, maybe more men will choose this route instead of expecting their partners to handle contraception all of the time.

2. The only "complication" I had was the fact that the surgeon had cold hands.

"You have to relax" he said. "You need to warm your hands up" I said. His hands were like ice blocks. No wonder I quickly "shrunk".

But, guys...if you're thinking about getting it done, it's a breeze. Or a snip. (Disclaimer: any medical procedure does have dangers. My experience was very positive. Yours may differ).

Oh, and I come from Adelaide but haven't live there for some years. I had mine done in Rotterdam, which is where I was living when the issue became relevant.
