    I think your fear is  unjustified.  In a vasectomy only
the vessels which carry the sperms from the testicles known as the
'Vas deference' are tied and blocked.

The body and content of the seminal fluid is mainly provided by other
glands such as the prostrate which are unaffected by a vasectomy.
Thus you can 'spray' all you want (the same volume) after a vasectomy
without much of a difference except that you will 'spraying' 'blanks'.
It does not affect your potency in any other way.

    The above is based on my general reading and I would gladly stand
corrected if somebody with experience or authority in this area
would state otherwise.

    So guys lets not scare the few men who take it upon themselves
to provide a safe (and mostly permanent) method of contraception even
though it means minor surgery for them.
