Should a guy elect to be awake or put under for a vasectomy?

My anesthesiologist says it’s my choice, but the description of being awake sounds uncomfortably reminiscent of the the Spanish Inquisition.

A local anesthetic, about twenty minutes of boredom, and it's done.

Removing function from your body by having unnecessary surgery is dumb regardless, so whatever. 

And having a doctor cut into your ball sack is crazy nutballs insanity and going to be unpleasant if you're awake, but having done to you when you're out cold is even more insane. lol

I was awake for mine. It was damn near painless, and over in about five minutes.
I was unaware sedation was even a thing for that procedure.
