It it him or the publicist involved with the product? Either way, it's bad.

EDIT: Same case on UK amazon. Two great reviews from people that haven't reviewed anything else before or since. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/194276183X

Ok, I realize this going to against everything everyone is ever going to tell you, and my experience is a little different because our kids were planned, but I wish someone -anyone- had told me this 15 years ago. Yes, it is a lot of work. Yes, they're expensive. Yes, it changes your relationship with your SO. And the relationships with your friends. And your family. Hell, even your work relationships change. Here's the thing though. IT'S NOT AS BAD AS EVERYONE TRIES TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE. I would have had kids years ago I had known what it's really like.

The relationship with your SO? Talk about the big things now, before Little One is born, and make sure that you're both compromising, that both of your feelings and beliefs are going to be reflected in how you intend on raising them. How are you going to go about religion? How do you both feel about punishment, both what should be punished and how? Childcare? How often do you intend on going out with friends after baby's arrival? Are you comfortable with all your friends being around your kid (seriously, a lot of our friends turned out to be people who though we enjoyed their company, were absolutely not people we wanted around our daughters)? How about family members? How about food? How often is too often for burgers and fries, do they get soda before they're 10? Have these conversations now, before they're actually an issue, and revisit them often, because things change once you get into the swing of things. Know that there will be days where one of you is 'done', and be willing to be tagged into extra duties for those days. It's OK to get burnout, it doesn't make you -or her- a bad parent, and it's so much easier to deal with if there's two of you having each other's back.

They are work. Sleep sucks for those first couple months, and that old saying that everything takes longer with kids, hahahaha....you have no idea. But you're going to find out. And it'll be ok. They sleep a ton those first few months, the first week is terrifying, but after that the adjustment is gradual, and by the time they're awake for any amount of time, you'll have already forgotten about how things were before they came along. Even the worst colicky screaming babe grows out of it eventually, and becomes a normal lovely child, it's just a matter of waiting it out. Unless you're exclusively into extreme sports, you'll figure out how to include kiddo in your hobbies and past times. Sure they might change a bit, daylong hikes become family friendly hour long jaunts, grand strategy computer games become Monster Loves You, but the feeling you get when they enjoy something that you've made them a part of is just, indescribable. You're gonna be surprised how fulfilling a good game of peekaboo is.

And those expenses? There are going to be costs you can't avoid (helloooo childcare! Also, spring for a brand new crib and carseat), but for the most part, you don't have to sell the family cow to get by if you don't want to. Babies don't care if their clothes and toys came from Goodwill. Food banks have baby food, but really all you need is a blender, there's not really a reason they can't eat what you eat. Things might get tight sometimes, but you'll always have resources available to you, your kid isn't going to go hungry. And if you two can keep your chins up, and smiles on your faces, and not stress out, your kid will never know. You're both in school, by the time your kid is in social situations where they can compare their socioeconomic status to those around them you'll all be in a much better place. So don't sweat the small stuff.

You have more resources available to you than any parents ever before. Books, doctors on call, parent groups. Read the books together. A chapter or two every night laying in bed. /u/cedarhouse1377's advice was spot on. What To Expect When You're Expecting is a great read and easily digestible. What to Expect the First Year is also very good. Your Baby's First Year is dry, but very informative. Babycenter.com has answers to a lot of the questions you have for the next few years. When you feel yourself start to panic, don't discount the value of Dr.Google. The internet is always awake, and we're always here for you.

That's your kid. They're going to be ok. You and So are going to be ok. You're smart. You're capable. You got this.

Most of all, congratulations. It's worth it.

Oh, it's real, alright. ^And ^^only ^^^19,99$, ^^^^Maggle!!!

u/123mommy123 · 7 pointsr/MomForAMinute

Oh sweetie, I think this is something everyone thinks about, and I don't know if you ever really feel "ready" to have kids. I know that I didn't--but 2 healthy kiddos later, we figured it out. We wanted to wait until we both had jobs, had our living situation figured out, and had been married for at least a couple of years. We felt "ready" and we started to try. I was still terrified when I found out I was expecting. Only you and your partner can decide when you feel "ready", but realize that it will never be the perfect time to have kids. Also, as a woman, you do want to keep in mind that the older you get, the harder it might be to get pregnant. (Not for everyone, but statistically.) It's something to keep in mind as you plan.

If you feel like you might be almost ready, talk to your partner about it. Talk about your hesitations. Are they big giant roadblock? of just little speed bumps? Does he have any ideas on how to work through them with you? Are you scared about being pregnant? having the baby? caring for the baby? What are your (and his) concerns?

Once you feel like you have worked through your major concerns, maybe set a date to stop trying to prevent (you have been using something to not get pregnant, right? that's important too) or a date to start trying. We waited until after a big trip we had been planning. Then, keep talking. Share your fears with him. Talk through them together. Maybe do some research or learning. It helped me to read about what to expect. Some books that I enjoyed or found helpful were:

​

Pregnancy Related:

  • Expecting Better by Emily Oster
  • What to Expect When You're Expecting by Heidi Murkoff
  • Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy

    Babies:

  • Happiest Baby on the Block by Harvey Karp
  • Wonder Weeks by Frans Plooij
  • What to Expect the First Yearby Heidi Murkoff
  • Cribsheet by Emily Oster (wasn't around for me, but I loved her first book, so you might give it a shot)

    ​

    If you like to read, maybe give one or two a shot. You can also check out /r/Parenting and/or /r/BabyBumps to see what real parents are saying. Try to find some local moms to talk to about their experience--they can be a good support group later too.

    If you are a planner, do some checking on things that you might need to know about (daycare, pediatricians, etc) if that makes you feel better. Look at costs, locations, ratings, whatever you need to do to feel secure.

    Realize that even if you decide you are "ready" you may still freak out a little bit once it happens. Having a baby is scary and life changing, but that's okay! You can do this! You are awesome!

    Also, here's a little secret that no one talks about --no one knows what they are doing with raising kiddos, we all just fake it til we make it and muddle our way through the best we can. I still feel like I'm just pretending to be an grown up with kids.
u/lubed_out_to_dry · 7 pointsr/OneY

> A circumcised dick is perfectly functional. Sex is fun. If you have a shitty unsatisfying sex life, it's not because you're 'mutilated' - you're just blaming your parents because it's easier than fixing the actual problems with your sex life.


Amen! Hallelujah! Finally someone agrees that if you are circumcised and have a difficult time enjoying sexual activities, it is completely your fault because you are not trying hard enough or are mentally crazy and need therapy. In fact, circumcision is completely healthy for a growing mind where he experiences necessary pain in order to not question those with power. Excellent to building a military organization, productive worker, or religious zealot.

Look at this book, it just filled with hate speech and liberal propaganda for imaginary claims to human rights. Since when do children have human rights? And how would they know that it was their circumcision? Should we stop vaccinating them too? Nonsense! As vaccinations have proven medical benefit just like infant genital cutting, though as a circumcised male, I believe vaccines are less effective than circumcision for diseases like HPV. And the USA has led high standards in preventing and curing HIV, where circumcision is one of the major key contributors. Don't let the leftist liberal media tell you otherwise!


As a circumcised male, I understand that all circumcisions are functionally perfect unless it is one of those extremely rare cases that potentially could cause death, removal of the penis, skin bridges, painful erections, and loss of sexual feeling. But those only tend to happen in less developed countries and not in western, more civilized nations. I am proud to be a United States business run citizen, who values individual freedoms like the choice for the parent to circumcise their son(s) to whatever manner they see fit. As property, kids do not have a say and this is a great freedom us parents enjoy.


As a circumcised male, I believe the foreskin to be a completely vestigial organ, outdated by the use of clothing. We, smart and logical, humans understand this unnecessary tissue and remove it for future medical benefits.

As a circumcised male, I have experienced MANY wonderful benefits from being gifted the holy cut against my will over the years:

  • The need for lube. Can't masturbate without lube or in the shower because water washes off lube! It costs $15 every two months and some months I can't afford to masturbate! This is a great benefit to increase sexual frustration and frugality.

  • There is hardly any sensation! I am missing the frenulum and banjo string. When I touch myself (not-aroused), it is like playing with my nose. Excellent benefit for those who hate feeling sexual response for lasting longer and longer until you are using blood for lube!


  • Emotional instability! Ever wanted to have a trigger that makes you cry and cry and cry? Want to find your inner sensitive self? Well just chop off half your dick and find that even masturbating brings you to TEARS! Amazing benefit to overall world population. More suicides = less people = less CARBON EMISSIONS. See circumcision is environmentally friendly too.

  • The ENVY of having a foreskin. Now all the uncircumcised men can feel better about themselves when they grab a couple of envious circumcised friends! Circumcision allows others to increase their own self-esteem! How thoughtless and nice!

  • Oh, and last but not least STD PROTECTION! See, when you have such a hard time masturbating, you become a little misogynistic with attractive women! You don't want to hate them for making you aroused, but you at least try your best to avoid them. Because arousal is painful! So by remaining a virgin, you have 99% STD PROTECTION! GUARANTEED or your foreskin^^will ^^still ^^not ^^be back.


    And in conclusion, as a circumcised male, I do not understand this hatred for our kind. Similar to the deaf community, the blind community, the autistic community, I believe circumcision community is under attack from foreskin fetishists (eww how disgusting and unnatural, they just can't handle an inconvenient truth that circumcisions are superior). Our freedom to cut genitalia shall not be restricted by liberal hippies. We should unite with the Jewish and Muslim communities and lobby congress for protection in OUR individual rights of freedom for religion and parental pro-choice when it comes to circumcision. As I see no reason for a male to not love being circumcised, we shall decide when he is born to cut and only to cut. And I will not be raising a hippie, neck beard virgin who blames his (out of pure love) body modification for his lack of sex! Not in my house or he will get a beating of his life!

What to Expect in the First Year is the one I have always been recommended. I found it at my local used bookstore in like-new condition for only $3!

u/Mambassa · 7 pointsr/bodyweightfitness

I'm glad I was helpful, but I don't want to take any credit.

I didn't come across that exercise by chance, it happened because I read this book

The author mentions this exercise as a helpful exercise and he obviously attributes the merits to Jeff Cavalier.

Anyway, I can guaratee you that the exercise is very good, you can use small dumbells as you can also grab small weight plates etc.

Definitely give it a try and focus on mind to muscle connection to get the most out of it.

Have a great day!

u/allSmallThings · 5 pointsr/predaddit

Although your perspective is a common one, sorry I don't agree. Do you get your analytical chemistry research from the 1930s, or do you also read modern sources? ;) Yes I agree, every practiced should be researched, and the research is already in!


Concepts such as psychological harm and childhood trauma weren't well understood 100 years ago, and despite years of psychological research, still aren't understood by the general public today.

  1. You say "there isn't evidence of harm being done." This is false. Please see the Global Survey of Circumcision Harm: http://www.circumcisionharm.org/

  2. Several of the justifications used for female genital cutting are also used for male circumcision. If we were average westerners in the 1930s, most of us would all probably think male or female genital cutting reduces masturbation and improves cleanliness, among many discredited falsehoods. It took some ~80 years for western countries to abolish the practice (~1920s to ~1990s). See also https://www.amazon.com/Unspeakable-Mutilations-Circumcised-Men-Speak/dp/1495266575

  3. You say "more research is needed". The research is already in :) Just one example of many: https://www.amazon.com/Circumcision-Hidden-Trauma-American-Ultimately/dp/0964489538

    If you have time to take a look, let us know what you think!

I feel the same way or probably worse because I have a lot of functional problems that you did not bring up

A book has been recently published about this, might help you relate...I don't know what it's worth

I feel like as long as there is such a strong silence surrounding this coercive procedure, I can not get closure, and I'll never have what they took from me back either, but at least fucking aknwowleding the harm it causes instead of dismissing us every time...Fuck these people, seriously.

It's sexual assault on a minor with a knife, doesn't matter if it's done in a hospital or in a kitchen, it's not medicine.

u/rpamorris · 4 pointsr/daddit

Someone gave my wife What to Expect the First Year when we had our first child. I found so much comfort in that book. It answered a lot of my "is this normal" questions.

Edit: Hmm.. After reading some of the reviews on Amazon, I'm wondering if this book is relevant anymore. I see a lot of people saying there's better information online. It kinda makes sense since the book was given to me almost 13 years ago. I guess the world has moved on.

u/Scalpels · 3 pointsr/AdviceAnimals

It's scary as hell! However, there is a lot of advice out there as to how to handle it. Some of it is good and some of it is bad, but experience can help weed through it.

As a new parent you probably don't have a lot of experience and in that case you can do what my wife and I did: Talk to parents. My parents, her parents, aunts, uncles, and so forth down the family tree. We talked to parents who are total strangers. Just gather as much second hand experience as you can.

Also, the book What To Expect When You're Expecting is a great resource for the pregnancy and What To Expect The First Year is another good one.

Our hospital had pre-birth bonding classes that covered a lot too and I found it to be super handy.

Two things that no one mentioned to us: Stretch marks may be prevented or reduced with liberal daily doses of Vitamin E lotion. Despite having two kids, my wife has zero stretch marks afterward and we believe it is because we used Vitamin E lotion.

After birth, your wife will bleed. Stock up on pads and something to protect your mattress. It goes away quickly, but we were unprepared for that our first time out.

And these days you can gather more info from the internet. I kind of envy you that option. We could'ved used that resource back in the pre-internet days.

u/Sir__Hippo · 3 pointsr/MensLib

Unfortunately there really isn't any one book that puts all of that into a fun narrative like there is to describe all fo the things that a woman goes through pre, during, and beyond puberty. We just don't experience anywhere near the level of daily difficulty with our hormones and our anatomy to warrant a large selection on narative essay literature.

This is also compounded by our historical bias toward male centric view points making mens health the general topic, simply called Fitness, and womans health the specialty topic.

-----
I've selected the following titles, all are a cross between narative essay and textbook. But they swing more toward a less technical lexicon

The Joy of Sex
Practical Encyclopedia of Sex and Health
The Harvard Medical School Guide to Men's Health

-----

For books by men I respect:
Terry Crews: Manhood: How to be a better man-or just live with one
Nick Offerman: Paddle your own canoe: One man's fundamentals for deliciuos living


-----

To answer the question you kinda asked in your reply...

Pre-ejaculate fluid does not contain sperm. It is created by the Cowper's glands at the base of the penis, completly seperated from the testes. It is also not the same thing as semenal fluid. The misconception about pre-ejaculate comes from a few perfect storm style things occuring in a row.

A) The male must have ejaculated prior to the new pre-ejaculate.
B) Some sperm must have remain behind in the urethra
C) No urine passed through the urethra between ejaculation and new pre-ejaculate

If all of that happens, then the sperm will be picked up by the new pre-ejaculate and expelled from the urethra.

u/30kdays · 3 pointsr/AskScienceDiscussion

The major problem with your quest is that there are so many people that have raised children all with their own anecdotes informing their own firmly held BS. That, combined with the variance in children, a relative lack of rigorous scientific study, and the replication crisis means you'll constantly find contradictory advice with equally terrifying consequences (Our parents were told babies will choke and die if they sleep on their backs. We are told the rate of SIDS is 10x higher if they sleep on their stomachs).

99% of being a father isn't about knowing what to do, it's about having the patience, commitment, and time to do it. The most accurate advice I got was from my grandma: it doesn't take much, but it takes it all the time.

That said, my wife and I liked the what to expect series. They have different books at different stages of development and seem to do a pretty good job of sorting through the BS.

u/Ark18 · 3 pointsr/MealPrepSunday

Get a good book, and read it. Often your OB/Midwife will suggest one. The "dad guides" are fun light reads, but honestly if you want to be an equal partner in raising your kid, you may want something a bit more serious than how to make a diaper with a sock.

This is the one my OB suggested for me amazon.ca. Also can I suggest /r/daddit and /r/predaddit? Nice little community there.. less for the info, more for the cute baby pics, random questions, and support (if you need it).

A few things for you to consider: health/aging factors are usually involved so take into consideration stress/health/age issues. Weightlifting apparently will help in that department.

u/Jinzang · 2 pointsr/Testosterone
u/Bignick73 · 2 pointsr/depression

I could probably write several pages on this. First I've been dealing with testosterone replacement for the past 5 years or so. I was 28 when it started.

I got the initial tests due to depression/anxiety. My GP at the time had success treating depression in several patients using hrt and and ran a hormone panel before prescribing any anti-depressants . So yes the low test. could be contributing to your depression.

I've been off of mine for almost a year now due to fertility reasons, and is probably why I'm browsing this sub. I was able to naturally raise it slightly for a while but am about to start back, as I just feel that much better on it, and with the wife pregnant the fertility issues are over.

My first piece of advise is to read up! http://www.amazon.com/Testosterone-Guide--Second-Nelson-Vergel/dp/0966223128/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1394595400&sr=1-2&keywords=testosterone

I like this book gives a pretty good rundown on how everything is connected and what tests to get and what to watch out for etc....

Read it as fast as you can because my second bit of advice is don't trust the doctors. If you can find a infertility endocrinologist they are usually the best. Most endos deal with thyroid/diabetes, general practitioners don't get much exposure, and I've had 0 luck with urologists. I probably saw 15 doctors and got 15 different opinions and answers when seeking solutions to my fertility problems. Self education is the key so when you can weed the bad ones out, trust me there are some bad ones that will just wing it and make up bullshit rather than tell you they don't know. So once you find a good one keep em! It's a highly personalized treatment, so I really can't stress enough how important self education is.

As far as the HCG I don't see the point unless fertility is an issue, and I don't know how 3 months will 'cure' anything. I always thought the injections once a week left me feeling the best but use androgel now as giving yourself intramuscular shots gets old. Also keep an eye on your estrogen levels as well. If you get too much test, it'll convert and high estrogen levels will leave you feeling just as crappy as low testosterone.

Mom's are always overprotective and the less they know, the better.

Don't worry its really easy and does not hurt if you use small enough needles. Just get a nurse to show you how or watch youtube videos. I've learned it from youtube. There are good videos out there and its really not rocket science. Just make sure you follow it step by step and you are good to go

What to Expect: The First Year It's kind of a roadmap to baby development. The book is organized by the baby's age in months (chapter 1 = one month old, chapter 2 = two months old, etc). When you get your copy go to the start of each chapter and write the dates that your baby will be going through that stage. It will save you a lot of date calculation later on.

heres the truth.

circumcision is downright pure evil. there is no good to come of it. not one single good thing can be said for it. the so called pro-circ arguments are completely BS and made up lies from junk science that isnt real

it isnt cleaner....fun fact, the foreskin keeps the penis clean. furthermore creating an open flesh wound on a newborn baby where they are going to defcate themselves is not cleaner nor healthier

some lucky or unlucky souls however you want to phrase it, die during it.

babies....every last one of them...passes out into a shock induced coma. this like all other comas causes brain damage. as memory serves it is usually around the emotion, reasoning, and personality portions of the brain. in other words your personality is noticably different than it would be otherwise.

sex is better....yeah no its not. nature and God designed the penis to match with the vagina and that includes said foreskin.

it prevents STDs....as stated the foreskin keeps the penis cleaner....furthermore, infants shouldnt be having sex and the foreskin isnt meant to be retracted at all until puberty, and are you saying that boy will grow up into a stupid man who cant use a condom? why are you choosing that boys sex life for him? how dare you.

its cleaner....again it's not, are you saying the boy wont be able to wash himself?

health problems with the foreskin....again BS....you are born with it. breast cancer is far more common and no one is advocating cutting nipples off infant girls. and 99.9999% of all foreskin problems can be solved WITHOUT cutting it off.

Religious reasons....again BS....the God of the bible did not advocate what we call circumcision today. what goes on today still kills infants and that is with noticeably more medical technology than a goat herder like our dear friend Abraham. if we did back then what we do today, nearly every boy would die from bleeding to death.

I could go on....but the fact is you got screwed like every other cut man in the world tha suffered this.

no good comes of it...none, absolutely none. let me state it clearly...any and every pro circumcision argument you hear is utter BS and is a total lie. there is not one single factual pro circumcision argument anywhere in existence. it is all one giant lie. I can absolutely rip to shreds every single pro circumcision argument in history for they are all utter lies and can be seen through.

the boy will not remember it....this is like saying it is okay to rape a girl as long as she is drugged and wont remember it.

it impairs the bond between mother and child and all boys afterwards have a hard time breast feeding on account of a terrible flesh wound on their body.

every cut man has a distorted erection...in other words some form of ED....your erection is not in its normal state. usually there is a bend in each cut mans penis somewhere.

there is a hideous circular scar called the circumcision scar that you were not born with.

your pee hole is noticably smaller now and the color of your penis is quite a bit different. your penis also looks different too.

if you were a girl....you would be afforded every right to keep your own genitials....circumcision is sexist in america as it is illegal for one sex, and legal for the other. it is sexist.

in fact female circumcision which does less damage than to boys(a boys foreskin has over twice as many nerves as a girls clit) and when it is done to girls were call it female genital mutilation or rape. when it is done to boys we call it healthy and good. hypocritical BS at it's finest.

in relation to the no fap thing....i hate to say it, but when you lost half your penis when you were born your very sexuality inherently changed. in fact its quite possible you are addicted to porn because of it....in part because for many cut men, masturbation is more enjoyable than sex due to the location of the few remaining nerves makes it impossible to ejaculate during intercourse aka ED. but with masturbation they can stimulate the few remaining nerves they have perfectly.

furthermore the foreskin produces it's own lube if you will....hence why lube is common and why so many use it. if you had your foreskin you'd have your own God given natural lube. this lube is bodily fluid that is supposed to be exchanged during sex so the couple bonds with each other. furthermore you are like women supposed to orgasm multiple times. the reason your women arent always in the mood and dont always orgasm is because you lack foreskin which changes the thrusting nature of sex. rather than being to thrust softly and maintain and erection, much like when you masturbate, you need to thrust and jerk harder and harder to stimulate your small handful of nerves which is uncomfortable to the woman you are banging. and also since you lack your own lube you will dry her out by stealing her own natural lube. making sex uncomfortable.

yes I know some will swear this isnt true....but there is a very real head in the sand denial when it comes to circumcision. few can face the truth...very very few can. congrats you are on of the few.

as you can see I can go on and on and on.

heres some recommended reading to learn more...and of course you can youtube videos to watch a circumcision

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTxD6l-8ppw

youll notice in the jewish version they get to give the infant what any porn addict might call a blow job....so legalized blow jobs for infants.

and if you want to see the true sexual nature of this beast....google circumsexual where we see the heart and soul of this thing called circumcision....it is indeed all about perverting sex to an unholy level of insanity...it is about legalizing pedophilia.

sorry that was long and a lot to take in.

50 anecdotes in this book. Facebook group, another Facebook group, and more. And for the love of god, just google "circumcision psychological effects", there's tons of resources.

If you want TRT Advice, I would consider joining the excellent Forum https://www.excelmale.com/forum.php , and pay also /r/Testosterone a vist.

Nelson Vergels Book on TrT is also a very good introduction into the Subject: https://www.amazon.com/Testosterone-Guide-Second-Nelson-Vergel/dp/0966223128

This is about treating the Symptons of chronic low Test, and all the baggage it brings with it. Not about getting jacked (or looking for Legal Steroids). For getting jacked, I would never go the TRT Route, and self prescribe - and just be smart about it. Use pharma Test, get bloodwork done, keep the levels in a healthy range, all that Jazz. Blast and cruise into the sun.

When you do have time to read, this book was incredibly valuable for us in the first year:

https://www.amazon.com/What-Expect-First-Heidi-Murkoff/dp/0761181504

Also, because you appear to care so much - that is the most important thing to have. In that sense, you are doing great. Be assured that all of us were this scared too, and that we did ok. You will do great, even if you don't believe that you are.

u/illexa · 1 pointr/Parenting

You're doing awesome. When I had my first baby at 19 and the internet info wasn't so prevalent I had this book laying around at all times to refer to. Called What to Expect the First Year. It gives a monthly breakdown of doctor care needed and things that are normal. It was really helpful to me. I was also super nervous about doing things right.

u/nc_swingers · 1 pointr/Swingers

Lots of things can cause it. Being overweight, having a sedentary lifestyle, lack of good sleep, lack of healthy food, environmental factors, I think genetics. It’s endemic among western men and there’s very few people talking about it.

The way you would treat it is to first make sure you’re living a healthy lifestyle. If that doesn’t work then you would supplement, under a health professional’s supervision. You can really fuck yourself up if you do it yourself. Thing is that most doctors, including endocrinologists, have no idea. You need to find a doc that specializes in optimizing men’s hormones.

I would suggest this book and this one

If you need a good telemedicine doctor shoot me a DM and I can suggest one.

Happy to answer any other questions, just send me a message.

boy or girl, let them decide if they want to surgically alter their genitals, remember babies are designed to survive new young parents, and this book is real helpful the first time around:

You aren't normally absorbing the sperm into the blood. The specific claim is:

"The testes of a vasectomized man continues to make thousands of sperm every minute. These sperm and/or their breakdown products now have abnormal access to the body, because surgery has weakened the natural barrier between the testes and the blood stream. As the sperm degrades, its degradation products can initiate an allergic response. Also, sperm contains a number of potent antigens, at least eight of which have been identified. Because of this, sperm antigens can stimulate multiple antibodies and alter cellular immunity. Antibody production persists for prolonged periods following vasectomy. Roberts reports one study in monkeys in which sperm-antibodies could be detected seven years after vasectomy.

Men who do not demonstrate antisperm antibodies following vasectomy are more likely to show testicular endocrine malfunction pertaining to hormonal activity of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). Just as undigested food provokes an antigen-antibody response resulting in the formation of “immune complexes,” so also do sperm antigens and antibodies. As with undigested food, the sperm-antibody immune complexes provoke severe inflammation in tissues where they are deposited. This explains why, let’s say in 100 men with vasectomies, you would find many different inflammatory conditions involving such diverse tissues as the blood vessels, kidneys, joints, and so on."

This is the original source:

You can read more excerpts from here. Just scroll down to "Vasectomy, Is It Safe?"

I've heard that supplementing with progesterone, a hormone, reduces the risk of these potential issues significantly.

IME, there is always a cost for messing with the body.

This sounds familiar to a book written that your collection of stories may pair very well with. Sexual violence has run rampant in our society far too long and needs to be brought to light in the most personal ways possible for people to understand. Since your book will be targeting the trauma of women, I have included a link to a book that has approached this in the same way towards men for anyone who is interested.
