Anyone? If so, what kinds of results? Does it actually reduce testosterone or just increase progesterone? Or does the latter induce the former?

Just moved here and wanted to see if there was anyone in the area. I'm in Laneville, around Henderson, Tyler, etc.

From my personal experience, it really is that there is a natural state of tension there, which only eases for brief periods of time during the release of pleasure hormones. I just started chemical-castration, just over a week ago. And I can still vividly recall the way that I felt for the 27 ...

How do we think of sexual frustration in light of desire and the biological drive for sexual activity? Here's what I mean: If I am a generally tense person, and sexual intercourse with someone provides a period of life and calm -- as it is known to do -- does this mean that the tension resulting ...

Unfortunately, ulcerative colitis is very poorly understood, and while diet works wonders for some sufferers, nothing seems to help others. Only time and experimentation ...

I neglected to mention Origen of Alexandria because his case is so well known. He allegedly castrated himself upon reading Matt. 19:12. Justin Martyr also mentions, with tacit approval(I think), a Christian who castrated himself in order to exonerate Christians from the accusation, by the emperor ...

I've actually looked into its socio-historical context, and been unable to determine whether or not it's literal or figurative. I did learn, however, that the Jews of Jesus' time (we know this from Josephus and Philo) found literal castration abhorrent and associated it with paganism. Even celibacy ...
