Regrets about castration

[dagmar20040404 (imported)]

Are there any men out there that are unhappy because they gave up a pair of perfectly healthy testicles to a cutter for the thrill of it?

I have been reading the forum for a long time. I have seen other threads where a person has asked if anyone has any regrets. Most of the replies have been by the regulars, and all of the answers have generally been that there are no regrets, often that the person wishes the castration had been years earlier. The regular posters also mention that to avoid regrets, the castration has to have been for the right reasons: pain, cancer, image dysphoria, M2F switch, transgender issues, etc. On a recent thread I read, the first reply was a response that we have discussed this over and over again and redirections to previous threads which said about the same things. But, any all of the comments I have seen there is NEVER anyone who says they made a mistake and regrets their decision.

Many of the comments strongly cautioned that those who seek castration for fantasy reasons or for sexual thrill reasons, are going to be ultimately disappointed and unhappy with their decision to get get castrated. It clearly is a forum policy to strongly advise against using non-physician cutters. This certainly seems to be good common sense. However, my guess is that many of the castrated posters who do not regret their decision were done by non-physican, non-medical cutters.

However, I have never seen a post by an unhappy eunuch regretting what happened, or saying that he wishes he had listened to the advice to be cautious, or advising others who are sexually excited by the topic to not go through with it. Perhaps, those that have made the poor decision simply do not post their unhappy results, or leave EA for good, but it seems there would be at least a few unhappy castratees out there.

The posters on the forums, it seems, are mainly those old eunuchs that created this wonderful website and give good conservative safe advice, both because of their experience and wisdom, but, I think also, because politically, they don't want the site taken down for advocating unsafe sexual practices.

There is a distinct philosophical difference between what is found in the forums and what is found in the stories.

Well mine weren't exactly healthy at the time of removal 2 months ago. I had wanted them gone for about 6 years and after a long struggle managed to get a certified urologist to do the deed. Mine were basically non functional anyway with a T level of around castrate level and I was on HRT anyway, so I used calcium chloride injections to damage them to the extent that the urologist took one look at the scans and told me that he would strongly recommend removal without my having to prompt him in that direction. This was done on 03/15/2014 and I could not be happier with the outcome.

A word of caution to those wanting to go the same route as I have, Make absolutely sure that this is what you want as once they are gone, they are gone for good. Also if you are considering the Calcium Chloride injection route, read the thread from page 1 right to the end as there are some of us who have made mistakes in taking this route. I wasn't one as I heeded the advice to read the entire thread. I would however advise this route rather than pure alcohol injections as it works much faster.

I used alcohol injections and they worked for me, but without the trauma and pain. I think that it is a safer way to go about doing it, if done carefully, than are calcium injections, but that's my opinion. We're only talking about, what, a difference of two months?

micdavi and unencumbered, thanks for your replies.

But, I am asking about regrets about castration, and it doesn't sound like either of you regret losing your balls. I am talking about eunuchs that are sorry their balls are gone, that admit to making a foolish decision and regrets it. Please don't hijack this thread discussing testicle injection techniques.

Is there anyone out there that was sexually excited, that got a hard-on when thinking about being castrated and about other men being castrated that then got castrated in a sexual scene, and now regrets doing it? Does anyone know of anyone like that?

Those with serious regrets are highly unlikely to stick around to post here. We know that they exist, but they quickly disappear from sight. The moderators have heard of a couple who have gone so far as to commit suicide over their regrets, which is why we ALWAYS counsel trying chemical before surgical and we ALWAYS counsel going slow. Those who are happy tend to be very happy and they will write about how great they feel.

A few with minor regrets have stayed around for a short while, but they, too, tend to disappear from sight.

I would say that while I've come to terms with the non-reversible damage I've done to my genitals, I do regret that I ever had the urges in the first place. I was/am truly blessed with having everything go my way in life. Physically I was always the tallest, strongest, person around. Healthy, happy, successful. But my mind was always obsessed with sex, from very early age (by 9 I could barely concentrate in class thinking about sex) and that turned into desire to be free from such urges (which are torture when you don't have any chance of sexual relationship for a decade while battling these urges) which turned into desire for castration. I damaged myself in so many ways. Yet I know that my body (including my genitals) were really beautiful and healthy. But the urge was there, continuous, and severe. I ended up in the hospital so many times with them repairing damage I'd done. Finally a year and a half ago I convinced a girl to inject calcium chloride and that was pretty much it for the balls.

I know it was inevitable, so can't say I regret that it happened. It had to happen. I couldn't find any other cure. I tried going really libertine and frequenting prostitutes (I was rich enough early in life due to founding a tech startup that I could pay for up to two high class prostitutes every night! I am not joking that I spent over $2M on prostitutes.) and also tried going the other way with meditation and Zen monasteries, and also tried anti-depressants, exercise, everything. I just couldn't shake my horniness.

So it happened. I don't regret it. But I regret that I was built such that I had to do such self-harm to what was otherwise a beautiful and healthy body.

There is a distinct philosophical difference between what is found in the forums and what is found in the stories.

Yes, and the reason for that is perfectly obvious: the stories are all (or almost all) works of fantasy. Most of the forums are about real life. These are not the same, and the "philosophy" of fiction is not the same as the philosophy of life. There are plenty of stories in the archive that describe things some of us find very exciting to read about, but that would be not only illegal and dangerous but extremely immoral to carry out in real life. It would be unwise to draw any conclusions about what people here actually do or believe based on what sorts of stories they write.

I have done so much damage to my testes that I am in effect a eunuch with a T level of 92. I have no regrets whatsoever and have been at this level since last year and used chemical castration previously. Like SplitDik, I regret the amount of damage I have done over the years. I have never been so content. I will feel even better when they finally remove what is left, hopefully soon.

Great comments Jesus, SpltDik, boingboing, and Jcat.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I am sure Jesus is right that those with regrets would be unlikely to revisit the forum even if they were regular readers before. And, those with regrets were more likely story readers than forum follower. But, I was fishing to see if anyone having regrets were out there.

I think you would agree that those men who went through with voluntary (or "involuntary" [slave relationship]) castration for sexual reasons would be a very interesting subcategory of those of us interested in castration to learn about and learn from. Clumsy sentence, sorry.

SplitDik, was the damage that you did to your genitals on a repeated basis only to your testicles, or did you damage your penis too?
