It was not a comment on French doctors being behind the times. Clair, a Real Virtual French Person Ma Plus Belle Histoire d'Amour    Report

This refers to doctors as much as patients, surely? Do not try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.    Report

True it seems so much more acceptable for women to have far more intrusive surgery than a 'snip'. Clair, a Real Virtual French Person Ma Plus Belle Histoire d'Amour    Report

Suffice it to say we differ sharply. I suggest the OP gets it done in Blighty where they have different attitudes to these things. Do not try to teach a pig to sing.

Posts 260 Re: Vasectomy I know that attitudes in France towards vasectomy are rather different to in England but for what it's worth I had it done in the UK 17 years ago, shortly before moving to France and soon after the birth of my second child, nothing to it really, twenty minutes in the doctors clinic, a couple of local injections, the smell of burning flesh (the worst part to be sure) a sweet for being brave and off home with instructions to take it easy for a few days. No it hasn't affected performance - I'm no better or worse now than before!! The most memorable part was my wife and daughter laughing at my "black banana" a few days later when I was in the shower Certainly ask your doctor in France about the procedure here but you might get a less than enthusiastic reaction in which case it may be worth considering arranging to have it done in the UK.    Report

I barely noticed them, so certainly wasn't offended - I was too busy laughing at the funny folks' comments    Report
