Think of a squirt gun that has two reservoirs to squirt out. One reservoir has Sperm and the other has fluid. Normally when we press trigger the gun takes a little bit from each, mixes it up and squirts it out.

A vasectomy snips the connection from the sperm reservoir so when you pull a trigger only the lubricant comes out but no sperm. They just stay in the reservoir where they were created with no means to escape.
