New Survey

[kristoff]

Completed the survey. I was disappointed in the narrow focus of the questions. Did not apply much to my castration and thought of peneoctomy.

Keep in mind that the first two surveys covered much territory, and that this, the third, is a continuation from those first two.

References for Questions used in ‘Interest in Castration’

To add to Kristoff's comment, this is our third survey of the Eunuch Archive community. While a few of the questions are duplicates from earlier surveys (to allow us to compare the results), most are new and are designed to add on to the existing knowledge. (The second survey, alone, had 502 questions!)

In addition to questions that we have designed specifically for this survey, in order to be able to compare those who have an interest in castration with other populations that have been well studied, we have used a number of existing questionnaires. Some of the questions may seem irrelevant, but the full set is important for proper comparison. We hope that this will provide greater understanding and access to help.

Below is a list of questionnaires and scales that we have used. Most of the surveys have much wider utility than their title may imply and have been widely used for a variety of different populations. If you have any questions about the survey, feel free to contact either Prof. Thomas W. Johnson (TWJ-(at)-sonic-(dot)-net) or Samantha Wong (eunuchsurvey-(at)-gmail-(dot)-com). We will be happy to answer any questions that you might have.

Completed the survey. Hopefully it will give others a better insight to the desire to be castrated (especially mtf transsexuals)

I did it completely. unfortunately lost all answers. Is there a way to read a summery of what I was asked and what I answered?

[Kangan2008 (imported)]

I filled it out, but many of the questions seemed biased towards a specific (preconceived?) area about gender & body image issues. My reasons for castration were much more specific and had little in common with much of the survey. I tried to remedy this in the comments section at the end, although space was limited.... Feel free to contact me privately (email) for the rest of the story. I have *quite* a bit of insight into the how and why of my particular case. In my case castration brought about resolution of a major lifestyle issue that was threatening my future livelihood and wellbeing.... I am at peace now.

The Happy Eunuch.

I did it....! Completely !

[Lyssa-TV (imported)]

The survey certainly seemed narrow. I live in two modes: boy and girl. Many of the questions would be answered differently depending on which mode I happened to be in at the time. For example: my boy mode has happy height/weight, my girl mode is one foot too tall and 150 pounds too heavy.

[Razifrost (imported)]

that, was long.

[Nidaho Rachel (imported)]

Completed it the best I could answer. Like Lyssa-TV, my gender is fluid. I had trouble with answering some of the same questions.
