Vasectomies as a 1920s Youth Serum

A claim is made that vasectomies were promoted in the 1920s as a "youth serum" rather than for birth control, based on a health book from that era. The speaker asserts that the procedure changes a man's facial structure, making it "puffier and softer," and claims a 99% accuracy rate in identifying men who have had the procedure just by looking at their faces.

Vasectomies, 1920s Youth Serums and Facial Changes

John C. Dvorak claims he can identify men who have had vasectomies by their facial features, describing a "puffy" or "softer" look. He references a 1920s health book that promoted the procedure as a rejuvenation treatment rather than birth control. The discussion includes a mention of comedian Doug Stanhope and the potential hormonal shifts caused by the surgery.
