Ray had a large (grade 3) varicocele, and anticipated problems because of this complication. His story is in the form of a diary running from the day of the operation to day 9.

"The idea of vasectomy had been kicking around in my head for some time, about as long as could remember, probably as long as I had known about the procedure. Not wanting children and hearing horror stories of accidental pregnancies and not trusting my wife (or anyone else for that matter) with birth control, I had always wanted it done. However, I had this sort of defeatist attitude towards it, with images in my head of a kindly old doctor telling me to 'come back when you're 40.' One day it had dawned on me that now married and soon to turn 30, I was near an ideal candidate, or at least someone who could make a good argument for wanting one."
