technically it's not her motivation, it's her husband's. Assuming the poster is actually who she says she is of course.
Actually no. I was responding to the part where she says she enjoys the idea, and she thinks about it more and more throughout the day. She even says she'd LOVE to do it (emphasis hers). It seems to be her motivation as well. And it seems to be more about the act than the result.
Thanks for the link, but getting Tim to our PCP for a sore throat is a struggle. I think he'd rather never have an erection again than go to a doctor for a $10 solution.

hubby seems to like it too. wasn't he the one who brought the idea up first?
as for starting and stopping....... hmmmm i don't really see a problem, unless one gets used to the effects of being on estrogen and can't adapt when they're off it. it varies from individual to individual however. might be a good idea to get an endocrinologist on board at least.
I think the folks here who are Eunuchs who opted for Testosterone right away would be the best people to talk about the after effects of castration. I do know from reading here and other places (due to myself being hypogonadistic or Low T) starting and stopping hormones will play havoc with his system. You can obviously experiment with or without, but the yo-yo of on/off/on/off would be bad. Without T, he is looking at muscles loss, energy loss. which would be a negative for YOU assuming you want him to do chores and help with the kids. Loss of sex drive, weight gain, possible breast growth. If this is a sexual fantasy, you will be sorely disappointed afterwards I'm afraid. If you have researched the subject FULLY, are willing to take the risks to his health and mental health, then chemical is the way to go as a trial run. I don't think the mental changes are discussed often enough or are mineralized on here a lot of the time.
I hate the eagerness for the folks on here, GOOD people mind you, to suggest and immediately suggest chemical castration. Like this is some light hearted idea. What if God forbid something happened to your babies and you wanted more in the future? Do you want to bank sperm and pay to store it? Maybe he comes to like having no testosterone and loses ALL interest in sex, are you okay with that? This is a life altering decision that will affect both of you and possibly your children.
Do you love his as he is now? If so, then I'd say don't accept his offer to be castrated. If its just about not having more kids than a vasectomy is more than enough. If he doesn't want or can't have sex anymore, would you be willing to have affairs, or would him using a strap-on with you be enough even if he's not that into it?
If it is a sexual turn on, then add castration play to your sex life. Pretend to castrate him...show him the blade but use the point of an ice cube to simulate the feel of the cut.
I'm sorry if I'm preaching here, but some need to urge more caution than the majority seem to. Please learn EVERYTHING you can before you try anything, even chemical. He has to be 100% sure. You have to be 100% sure and willing to live with the consequences however they end up.
I'm pretty skeptical of people who want to be castrated and then get testosterone replacement. What's the point, other than some fetish or body image issue to removing the balls then? If your goal is to dial in some level of sexual horniness there are plenty of ways to do it while keeping your balls. Chemical castration, various anti-depressants, even just exercise and masturbation can control sexual frustration.
@Wolf-Pup, chemical castration is suggested by most people because it is quite reversible. So your points about wanting kids and stuff aren't particularly valid. Certainly any medication should be taken cautiously, but

chemical castration is a very good test
of the sincerety of people seeking castration -- if you can't handle being chemically castrated then how could physical castration possibly be a good idea?

A lot of contributors here who were castrated seem initially to want to go "cold turkey" but then, due to health reasons or some of the debilitating effects of castration that they were experiencing, take some amount of testosterone but not enough to regain their lost libido, which was their original goal.
At puberty castration was more a body modification fantasy. At 40 y.o. I started to use anti androgen to lower my libido and this went on 8 years plus one more year without it, while my T level remained close to castration level. At beginning I was working in office and I was comfortable with this up until I had to change job to field work where I had to work physically hard, I couldn't do this kind of work anymore. This is when my doctor suggested me to try TRT. I'm now pretty normal with full dosage except that my libido has never returned to where it was prior to my anti androgen period and I'm happy with it. Men deprived of theirs testosterone (or oestrogen for the trans) can not perform physically or mentally as intact men no matter how hard they try. I can no longer produce natural testosterone. My castration fantasy is back stronger than ever and I can see any reasons to keep my balls anymore. I don't want to give up TRT, at least not now. We all try to find our balance and do what we think is best for us. Only those who don't try anything don't make mistake, I have no regrets for the damages anti androgen has cause to my body it was just part of life experience.

That's not what is being discussed here -- they're talking about HRT to regain some moderate level of libido. Also, in either case the point is that full castration isn't really a healthy long-term condition, and so if you're going to dial in some "partial" suppression of libido there are other ways to do it.
