After reading mounds's intro, I thought I should do the same. I have been visiting the archive ever since I discovered it existed. I was also part of those pre-Internet days of p.o. boxes and newsletters.

My facination with castration began at about 22 years of age, but as I think about it, I was always facinated with modification of my genitals. I started shaving them at an early age and also have a subincision that I've worked on for some years. My interest is primarily libido control but I do have constant throbbing pain (varococele and hydrocele) that I have had surgury on. I believe much of this pain comes from injury's from various bondage and SandM scenes that I partaked in in my late teens. I am a submissive type of individual but realized that I didn't like the pain.

I believe that I am actually close to finding someone who may help me reach eunch-hood. I'll know in the next few weeks. Seeing alot of the posting recently gives me the encouragement and experience to know it is not just a possibility but a reality. I've been straddling the fence on this idea for years, and I am finally feel that I can accept the long term repurcussions, in fact I think I would enjoy them.

Anyhow, I would like to thank all of you consistent contributors, you provide a abundant resource here at the Archive. Also, thanks to Andrew who actually posted a birthday message he sent to me in August. I actually tried to post earlier in the summer but had problems with my password that would let me post. Its all solved now and I hope to become part of the community.

Best Regards,

Dan
