I have not had an erection for years until last month when I started taking low T shots. My penis has shrunk until now it's more like a tiny pee-pee, only a bit thicker than it was when I was a child. No more embarrassing erections! No more desperate feeling to ejaculate! Very little chance of prostrate cancer!
I had been surgically castrated and don't take any HRT. I can still get erections if I want to (which is rarely the case). I can control this by what/how much I eat/drink (for stimulating the prostate).
It's been 7 months today and I have achieved 3 erections during that time with only 2 leading to ejaculation. All 3 required the use of viagra and were at the request of my partners. I have little to no sex drive, and although those erections were extemely pleasurable I don't have the desire to try again. I have been very very happy with becoming a eunuch.
I still have erections at night, very little sex drive, and small shrunken penis. I use a low dosage of HRT to ward off depression and osteoporosis. I don't think much about sex at all and though motivated to remove my penis, it's not a strong enough desire to act upon it. When I still had my testicles, getting them removed possessed me, I had to get them removed and did. So I believe testosterone motivated my desire to get castrated.
This is my first post on the Archive. I am happy married and I want to be a eunuch. My wife understands my wants. She is however not excited about the loss of my erections. My question is does or rather will Viagra give me an erection for my wifes pleasure?
Viagra alone won't restore erections in most eunuchs. You need to add back a little testosterone. You can still get erections after castration if you add back a little testosterone, via compounded cream or Androgel. That's actually the beauty of castration, you add back as much or as little as you want or need. Just a little is usually enough to give erections, but also keeps your sex drive in low gear. You can get compounded testosterone from: http://www.stroheckersrx.com/
Two things in reply: First, as to wanting "to be a eunuch", are you clear on just what you want and don't want as a consequence of being a eunuch? Is your wish primarily to be missing your testicles and perhaps scrotum too (the outward physical status) without mising your accustomed sexual interest and ability (ie, all but fertility)? Or to be missing your sexual functionality to some degree but not totally? Or to be primarily non-functional? Testosterone replacement mitigates to a variable extent the ordinary consequences of not having your T-producing gonads.
Second is erectile performance recovery absent a decent testosterone level circulating in you. Erection performance depends on sufficient functionality of four independent internal processes. One is electrical signals getting to your penis from your central nervous system and brain. The other three are bio-chemical responses followed by bio-physical responses that let blood under pressure flood in and restrain it from leaking out, thus the "inflation" that an erection manifests. As I understand it, Viagra and other PDE-5 enzyme inhibitors enhance only one of those three in-penis processes, and are decisive when that one deficient process is the main cause of one's ED. But testosterone is necessary (though not the only thing provided by youthful good health that's necessary) for functional preservation of the penile tissues that pass pressurized blood in and restrain it from leaking out. It's a sequential arrangement that's fussy about all four aspects being in good order. Testosterone absence becomes seriously adverse to that good order. That's all I remember of what I've read. A starting point in reading might be Dr. Tom Lue's little book; he's the ED guru at U.C. San Francisco, the Univ of Cal Med School. But don't stop there. Search onine as well--there are lots of medical articles written for patients' desire to know.

My wife asked the surgeon after my surgery if I would still be able to get erections and she said yes. With HRT, it has not been a problem for me.
