I saw "Atashkar" last night and I thought it was very cleverly made. It touches on a very taboo subject in Iran. It deals with a steel worker's fear of vasectomy, and how many men are horrified of it thinking that it puts an end to their "manhood".
Hamid Farrokhnejad's acting is great in this film which is only director Mohsen Amiryoussefi's second. It shows Amiryoussefi is willing and able to take on hot social topics in a humorous and meaningful way.
You can download "Atashkar" from iranproud.com. I highly recommend it -- the film AND the operation for those who don't want to have children. I did a photo essay "Doing the world a favor" after my vasectomy. I'll gladly answer any question you may have to the best of my ability. Basically, the procedure only prevents you from impregnating a woman. Your "manhood" and sexual drive remains the same.
Here's a clip:

Hooshang agha - just showing our age!
by MM on Mon Sep 26, 2011 02:09 PM PDTIt was either the classic Monty Python clip or a video of semen collection. Lyrics from the stairway to heaven would have been the last resort.
An idea whose time has come?
by Hooshang Tarreh-Gol on Mon Sep 26, 2011 01:47 PM PDTOne of my friends, 20 years older than me, a brain surgeon by profession, had this operation, and was very content. And an old guerilla he is, CHERIEIK PIER.
How did I know either: Framarz, MM , Divaneh would post a Mony Python?
Isn't there any poems or "Gudiance" from Tozieh Ol Masayel on sperm management, and related items?
Bad Idea
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Mon Sep 26, 2011 01:35 PM PDTIt increase the chances of prostate cancer by jamming the works. I am telling you don't do it. The more flow the better your chances of having a clean system. The similar idea to breast feeding {don't give the stuff to your kids that is NOT what I means}.
What I mean is that the plumbing needs to flow. Or stuff gets jammed in there. Now it is your choice.

True dat
by Cost-of-Progress on Mon Sep 26, 2011 12:41 PM PDTYou'll be shooting blanks, that's all. This is the best method (much easier for men than it is for women to do) to ensure we do not tax our planet's resources to extinction as we humans are really getting high in numbers. Of course, you have religions (all of'em) that think of humans as the gift of the plant and prevent any mehtods of contraception. The religions want as many people on this rock as possible, probably to invoke the coming (no pun intended) of somebody...be it the mesiah, mehdi, or....
