@LT: I can gladly offer the owners of EA to continue the forum. However, this only applies to eunuch.org and only under the legally compliant conditions mentioned in post #37. I would not support the continuation of eunuchworld.org. The site/stories could be moved to FetLife etc. for this purpose ...

As sad as the end of the Eunuch Archive in this form may seem to many, it is also an opportunity for a new beginning. In my view, the new beginning should include critical reflection on some fundamental decisions of the past. For example, we could take the justified part of the criticism of the ...

I think there are really a lot of good reasons to get castrated, but I think a longer lifespan is far-fetched until someone comes up with more convincing arguments.

Even if Korean eunuchs are repeatedly cited to claim that castrated men generally live longer, this is no more convincing to me. Firstly, the number of men is far too small to make a generalisation for all men. Secondly, completely different reasons may be relevant for the longer lifespan, for ...

There are always reports claiming that life without testicles would be better and would prolong life. What do these reports actually mean? Without testicles, we men lack at least the testosterone they produce. If we take oestrogen after castration, we become hormonally similar to women. Many eunuchs ...

Thanks Erik for the information. Very interesting article!

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that playing around with testosterone levels was the only reason for your castration. I was just surprised at the very high testosterone target you mentioned. If you are aware of the implications, then all is well. It was just a friendly hint, nothing more.

That all sounds very good. If you want to play around with your testosterone levels, castration was certainly the right decision. I just wanted to say that very high testosterone levels can have consequences such as increased body hair, stronger beard growth, higher sex drive, possibly more hair ...

Well, from my point of view, I can only say that it would be favourable if you knew your old values. There will be a blood test before castration, won't there? Your body will react in some way to the artificial testosterone that you receive via TRT because it is used to a certain amount of natural ...

Are you sure about your testosterone levels? Were your old values that high? 1000 ng/dl is a pretty high level even for your age.
