Katherine,

You might consider reading up on the alcohol injection method.

That way you could castrate him with relatively little danger

over a period of time and as part of whatever scene you two might

choose.

So much knowledge! A trial does sound like a good idea, will give him a chance to back out thank you guys, its amazing to not be flooded with horny fantasies and get real knowledge for a change

As long as you stick to the forums rather than the chatrooms of course.

Some here have recommended chemical castration as a "trial run" to test the waters, so to speak, before permanent damage is done. In the search box at the top of the page, enter "depo provera." You'll probably get more information than you can digest on the subject, but the essential idea is that your hubby would keep his testicles (at least for now), but the drug would suppress the testosterone as if he were castrated. You could both then see whether the depression, weight gain, and other side effects of castration are worth it before doing something irreversible.

Sandi Hi Sandi..I just ordered a 3 month supply of spiro and estradiol from United Pharmacies yesterday.. I'm already taking finasteride for my prostate..it will assist in the process...Time to get off the pot and on the anti androgens..hehe

What other forums have you tried.

I think you have come to a mature and balanced decision. Congratulations.

I'm guessing once or twice in chatrooms is enough experience to know they're not good places to be in.

I'm sorry, but it seems that your motivation is more about the act of castration (or being castrated) than about the goal of becoming a eunuch. This is a big warning sign. I too have been plagued by the strong desire for castration all my life, yet it is really related to the act of being castrated (an ultimate rush of fear, pain, sexuality, finality, submission all rolled into one). The problem is I don't think you, your husband or other people who have a castration fetish are really advised to actually go through with it. You have to be bought into the consequences, which include all sorts of complications/dangers of the castration itself plus the rest of your lives afterwards -- I'm not convinced you're really ready for that. The chemical castration is a very good test -- if being chemically castrated isn't interesting or something you handle well it means you shouldn't be castrated. Anyone who wants physical castration without significant experience with chemical castration should reevaluate their motives.

I think that an ASEXUAL motivation is sound (i.e. a strong desire to end up as a eunuch) but a SEXUAL motivation (i.e. excitement at the act of being castrated) is unsound.

Unfortunately, once you have the fetish most people become obsessed with it, and perhaps fulfilling the obsession is the best way out. But it really isn't healthy or a good path generally. There will be regrets.

I don't mean this to sound judgmental -- I am sharing my own conclusions after struggling all my life with similar obsession with being castrated.

technically it's not her motivation, it's her husband's. Assuming the poster is actually who she says she is of course.

Not saying I wouldn't get a lot of sexual pleasure from it, suppose its not really going to change much for new though. Talked to him about what I've learned here and he seems to think HrT will be enough, even says I can be in charge of when he takes it. Not an expert, but wouldn't starting and stopping a treatment like that be very bad for one's system?

I am not an expert either, and honestly and frankly, MOST "doctors" are NOT in my opinion "experts" on the subject of castration. Truthfully, there is a LOT more first hand knowlege and experience here at the EA than there is in most doctors' education and background.

My own experience, was when I went ON MY OWN, to a Mexican pharmacy and bought a 1.5 cc depo provera injection. I consulted no one, no doctor, I did not even know the Eunuch Archive existed, I just decided that I wanted to see for myself what it would be like to be chemically castrated.

IF, if you or your husband ever even broaches the subject of "castration" (chemical or surgical) with most doctors, I think they will go into a long rant about every reason NOT to do anything, most doctors in my opinion, really believe they know much more about YOU than you do. A doctor may very well call into question your sanity just for asking about the subject. Well I for one think they do not know more about ME than I know about me, and I think most so called "experts" do not offer sincere and honest advice based on real first hand experience.

All that said, I have to also point out that my honest and sincere advice is based only on my own first hand experience, not numerous case studies and a medical education. So, I think my advice is clearly skewed in favor of my own experience, and in favor of depo provera. I favor depo provera if only for the much much lower cost, and the fact that it seems to put less stress on the liver than the more popular spirinolactone, both drugs do have side effects, but I think depo provera is better and simpler of the two.

As to your question about starting and stopping, I cannot answer. I just started one day with one injection, and anytime I noticed a return of my sexuality, anytime got an erection in the morning (usually three or four weeks after an injection), I took another injection. I did this for five months and then had to quit because I had to move away from the Mexican border, so no more quick trips to the Mexican pharmacy... I really wish like hell I had bought a lifetime's supply of depo provera when I could get it so easily, but the shelf life of an injector is not that long. Anyway, after being on depo provera for five months, and then quitting, my sexual urges returned after a month, my beard had required shaving once a week or more when I was on depo provera, now I am back to once every day or two for shaving, everything came back to the way it was before for me. I have read someplaces that depo provera has a cumulative and permanent effect if you stay on it for at least one or two years, that after 12 to 24 months of continuous use the castration effect can become permanent and irreversable even after you quit using it, but this is another thing I cannot say from direct first hand experience.
