To Keep or Discard? What to do with an empty scrotum

[seanthomas (imported)]

I’d like some opinions, especially from someone who chose to remove their scrotum along with their testicles.

I had a simple bilateral orchiectomy, leaving two barely palatable little cord stumps and an empty scrotum. Although I believed the scrotum would eventually shrink, after a year it usually hangs as long and loose as when there were resident balls within. Anyone viewing my personal blog has seen my generous ball sack.

My problem lies in the fact that without the balls the excess skin tends to find its way between my legs, often chafing and irritating. I’ve seen a number of photos of sackless transsexuals and must say I like the look. The wife was ambivalent when shown.

A quick search of the internet located a nearby surgeon serving the trans community who offers separate scrotal reduction or removal at a reasonable price (of course insurance would not cover a non-necessary surgery). Broaching the option to my wife, she just shrugged and said: “whatever feels better for you”.

So here’s my dilemma. Naked, a cursory glance at my junk would seldom reveal anything was amiss. This is only relevant to say….. showering at the gym or strolling down a clothing optional beach in the buff. It’s not that I would be ashamed or embarrassed to expose my castration at a nude beach, but it might cause some discomfort to my wife that she’s reluctant to admit. Now we have visited nude beaches before (one just last year after I was castrated and not a single glance), and plan future visits as well. Alternately, a smooth look and feel under my dick would be both comfortable and, at least to me, aesthetically pleasing.

So who has gone for the scrotum-less look (and comfort) over leaving the sack intact? All opinions are welcome.

I want to someday be rid of mine. My wife plays with mine and that feels great but there is some issue with sticking when hot and free (naked or commando) with the right kind of underwear can control this during normal activities. I also don’t like it when sleeping naked which is the way I have slept since 5. My wife doesn’t seem real supportive of getting it removed if not causing problems. Mine is a lot better than at first due to shrinking over almost 5 years which makes it harder to convince her. Even when shrunk up and obvious I don’t care who sees I like no balls and the look. The only thing that that she has really commented is that sometimes she misses my balls slapping her so maybe she thinks I will get false ones which I would not like at all!

Hi, I've been a eunuch for over 2 years after losing my balls in a climbing accident. During that time the empty scrotum has not shrunk at all and hangs down about 4" between my legs. I have a tgirl friend who has come across several castrated guys and says completely smooth under the penis is the best look. I'm having my scrotum removed, all off, in a few weeks time. Justine x

I went 3 years after castration with the empty sac hanging down. I kept being told it would shrink but after 3 years, I decided to get it removed and did so. Without it, everything is much more comfortable.

I'm not yet castrated but I hate more my scrotum than my testes, so for me the sac will be removed along with the balls. To me, it'll look much better.

seanthomas - Are you using any HRT replacement? If you're not using testosterone your penis will shrink and then your sure to get some looks at the nude beach. If you're using HRT replacement, then get your scrotum removed. Most urologists will do it just for asking. I would ask them to be rather aggressive, they left more skin behind then I wanted when they did mine. I've seen a lot of scrotumless eunuchs and I think it's a clean look, but it's up to you and what you want to do. I read about one man who asked for his after it was removed and he did get it back. He said he had it tanned by a friend. That's an interesting option. I would have loved to have had mine tanned and made into a change purse.

If I had mine tanned now after it is removed as much as it has shrunk up it wouldn’t make much of a coin purse any more!

I am trying to get rid of mine, it has shrunk but I now want it gone.

Based on comments I'd seen here about finding someone to do the scrotal removal not being much of a problem since I'm already castrated. I spent a couple of months last Summer searching for a Plastics guy who would do the job. While a Urologist might be willing to do it, it's really not their thing so preferably someone with SRS experience would be best.

While I found quite a few of them, Plastics guys, who did scrotal reductions and such, I was not successful in finding someone who would just do a complete removal. Some asked why I had been castrated and was I Trans. I thought that was a bit different because most of what I've seen regarding MtF SRS, they use the skin of the scrotum construct labia. Anyway, when I'd tell them I was not trans and that I'd had them removed to kill off my sex drive and some GID issues that I've had for as long as I can remember, I just wanted them gone.

Of the ones I talked to seriously about getting the procedure done including costs and scheduling, none continued talking to me after being told why I was castrated. So I gave up, may try again this summer.....
