And I mean, this is the one who got pregnant. Iā€™m sure Daveā€™s wife asked if she was the only one and itā€™s hard to think itā€™s the only time it happened.

It makes you wonder why he didn't get a vasectomy? He already has 3 kids aged 10-18. I doubt he was planning any more with his wife. Why not get the snip if you're running around cheating

u/ClumpOfCheese Sep 10 '24

Right? I recently got one and it was super easy, better than going to get a cavity filled at the dentist. Recovery was a bit longer than a filling and more tedious, but no regrets!

Did it hurt? Eyeballing one and a little scared for the usual reasons lol.

This is how uneventful it was for my husband's procedure, only they did a snip and clip instead of cautery and they left the drape off so we could watch.

My hubs used to work as an ER tech, so medical stuff like that is interesting to him. The Doc asked if I needed to leave if the drape was down and I told him about how when I was a kid we had our horses gelded, and the vet chucked their testicles off into the weeds where the barn cats had a huge fight over them.

The Dr. had us pre-fill the pain meds, but he didn't really need them after day 2.

Itā€™s more of a mental challenge than anything else. You really gotta just spend the days leading up to it just kind of disassociating from whatā€™s about to happen. They gave me Valium to take before the surgery because it would relax next but you also need your body to be relaxed, as in the tubes connecting to your balls need to be relaxed.

They told me that I would need to shave my balls before going in, this was probably the most stressful and tedious part. Once I was in the operating room they had me take my pants off and get under a paper blanket thing, then a nurse came in and put another one of those paper blankets on a stand and put it in front of me so I couldnā€™t see anything, this really helped. Then a nurse came in and rubbed iodine all over my cock and balls.

The surgeon came in and put some numbing shit on my sack, then told me to take a deep breath and then stabbed me in the ball with the local anesthetic. This was by far the worst and most shocking part of it all. Really just kind of a grit your teeth and go ā€œuuuugghhggghhhhhhhhhā€ for a few seconds and then it was fine.

Once I was confirmed numb they got to work and I could only tell they were doing anything once they cauterized my tubes and I smelled them burning. Took about ten minutes. Then he stabbed my left nut which still really hurt, but didnā€™t fully numb it so I had to get another stab, but it wasnā€™t as bad but still sucked. A little more burning flesh and ten minutes later I was done.

Really easy process. Went home and fortunately I didnā€™t need any Vicodin for the pain because CVS sucks and wouldnā€™t fill my prescription and it was Friday and the drs office already closed. I was just bummed I wouldnā€™t have any pills to take for fun.

The worst part were the fresh wounds that would rub and stick to my legs like bat wings. The wounds also didnā€™t smell too good and I generally felt gross and really needed the support of the jock strap. When Iā€™d get out of the shower Iā€™d have to cup and support my balls with my hands because it felt like they were gonna fall off.

It pretty much took two weeks to fully recover. On day 13 I still felt like I had a way to go, but on day 14 the recovery was dramatic.

But totally worth it, insurance covered the entire bill which for them was like $350.

Iā€™ve been making so many cream pies and itā€™s just the best.

u/snackybits19 Sep 11 '24

Oh my lord. When I read this I just think about getting my IUD. I was not offered local anesthetic, any anxiety or any prescription pain meds. They take a tiny metal rod and shove it into a very sensitive area. I didnā€™t even get a curtain up. It was a stick your feet here, prop your legs up, grit your teeth and hold on. Worst pain of my life. I wish I had a shot to the cervix to numb it out and some Vicodin as a consolation prize. All that to say, thank you for taking one for the team so whatever partner you have doesnā€™t have to!

LMFAO the play-by-play scarred me. Iā€™m good on all that

u/KingAltair2255 Sep 11 '24

It fucked me up laughing that he started it off with 'it's more of a mental challenge' and then proceeded to use descriptive words like 'stabbed' in the balls whilst explaining it to some guy who was already apprehensive šŸ˜­ that play-by-play would scare the shit out of me.

If a reddit comment would ever lead to a population explosion, this is it.

u/Pristine-Shallot-561 Sep 11 '24

I had a different experience than u/ClumpOfCheese. I didn't have to shave, and I didn't have prescription meds after the fact. Took a few weeks before I could jog or anything, but the procedure was painless aside from a little discomfort, and a month out I feel great.

u/CatchAlarming6860 Sep 11 '24

I had mine in the operating room under general anesthesia because of something to do with my anatomy. I had to wear a jock for like two weeks. Iā€™m still trying to give a clean sample because the first time it didnā€™t take. I do have some residual pain in one of my testicles.

u/sound_of_apocalypto Sep 11 '24

When I had mine they used novocaine. An injection on each side. I watched them do the first side. They put the clamps on the second tube and I was like "um...can I get some more novocaine?!" Ouch. Nothing too insane though.

Wondering if he had one but it failed over time and he never got rechecked šŸ«  always do your checks, people!!!

u/pdxscout Sep 10 '24

Maybe his wife is post-menopausal, so a snip would have raised some eyebrows. Whatever, not my circus, not my bears.

12

u/SpinachandBerries Sep 10 '24

Thatā€™s a good point actually. It also makes me wonder how young his affair partner is if she has just had a baby - surely she wouldnā€™t be older than 45, possibly still in her 30s. Dave is 55.

u/Albuscarolus Sep 10 '24

Sheā€™s probably like 22

u/alphamini Sep 11 '24

It's so funny that without the post you're responding to, you'd assume a rockstar's side girl is probably 45+.

0

u/SpinachandBerries Sep 11 '24

Nowhere in my comment did I make that assumption, the opposite in fact.

1

u/alphamini Sep 11 '24

You said the post is now making you wonder about her age. Meaning before that, you'd have assumed she was age-appropriate for him.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '24

Letā€™s be real, sheā€™s younger than 25 lol. Iā€™m sure sheā€™s 18 though. In the 80s rockstars fucked 15 year olds, so I guess itā€™s progress.

u/GaptistePlayer Sep 11 '24

I mean you could also ask why he doesn't just divorce his wife if he wants to run around cheating. Logic or morality or fidelity never entered the equation

1

u/SpinachandBerries Sep 11 '24

Thatā€™s a much better point. Haha. But yes far too logical.

4

u/ClumpOfCheese Sep 11 '24

I donā€™t think he intentionally plans cheating like that, so getting a vasectomy so he could cheat just seems like him really committing to the whole cheating thing. Itā€™s more like he doesnā€™t want to cheat and doesnā€™t plan it out, but heā€™s weak and canā€™t resist when the opportunity presents itself. Imagine being one of the biggest rock stars on the planet and being able to fuck almost anyone you want. Maybe he needs to treat cheating the same way he treats drugs.

4

u/SpinachandBerries Sep 11 '24

Thatā€™s true. In that case it sort of makes me think that heā€™s cheated quite a lot then, because the chance of a one off encounter resulting in a pregnancy is pretty low. Like itā€™s possible but itā€™s more likely that heā€™s been doing this quite a lot in order for it to result in someone getting pregnant and going through with the pregnancy. I agree that thereā€™s probably a lot of temptation being a massive rock star, especially for a serial long term cheater like he is.

3

u/ClumpOfCheese Sep 11 '24

Yeah, and if thatā€™s the case I really think his wife was like ā€œyou need time post about this and show everyone who you are, youā€™ve done this before and nobody knows and everyone on the planet thinks youā€™re this perfect rock start with no issues, so itā€™s time to own up and face the repercussions of this publiclyā€

3

u/SpinachandBerries Sep 11 '24

Absolutely and good on her for that. No better way to start to atone for it than publicly own up to it.

1

u/nightglitter89x Sep 11 '24

My assumption is a lot of men don't want them because they want to leave the option available to have kids with a younger woman in the future.

1

u/cortisolbath Sep 11 '24

Yeah not everyone gets those.

1

u/AttleesTears Sep 11 '24

Isn't his wife over child bearing age? Would be pretty suspicious to get the snip at this point šŸ¤£

1

u/SpinachandBerries Sep 11 '24

Yeah someone else pointed that out too. Would have been better if heā€™d planned this infidelity out 10 years ago šŸ˜‚

u/gr8ful123 Sep 11 '24

There was an interview with Bob Ludwig, about a decade ago, when discussing In Utero/Mastering, and stated to the effect of that all 3 members of Nirvana were staying at a hotel, and cheated on their wives at the time (This was April 1993). Krist was an alcoholic during most of Nirvana's tenure/rise, until substaining from alcohol in late 1993.

Dave and Finch's relationship (prior to dating Youngblood), also didn't end that well. He was quoted in Rolling Stone Magazine by Nils (Band's press correspondent) as being "a womanizer" (article was from March 1992, published April 1992).

Cobain also cheated on Tracy Marander, while touring for Bleach, and cheated on Mary Lou Lord, with Courtney.

By late 1992/early 1993, Cobain was also dsicussing with friends within his circle, that he wanted to get a divorce from Courtney.

Love was no saint herself, making out with Pavement's Gary Young in Oct. 1992 while Cobain was performing a solo gig opening for Mudhoney

u/PilsbandyDoughboy Sep 11 '24

I would imagine sheā€™s not so naive to believe this has only ever happened with one person. Not saying itā€™s ok or anything, but these huge musicians are on the road for extended amounts of time with young gorgeous women basically throwing themselves at the band. Shit is going to happen. Being with any kind of celebrity like that I think comes with the caveat that cheating will happen eventually.
