Stories About Boy Eunuchs.

[Atreyu69 (imported)]

My favorite stories about boy eunuchs are ones in which I can identify with the hero and feel myself in his shoes. But there's more to it than that. I need to feel sympathy for the hero for having been castrated but at the same time I need to envy him for having been castrated. It's a paradox.

Does anyone else feel as I do?

Those are my favorites also. Stories that end with the new eunuch being happy are my favorites.

I don't necessarily have the

need to feel sympathy for the hero,

because I don't always see it as a sad or tragic thing. If, in the context of the story, it makes them happy and fulfilled, there's nothing to feel sad about, and I feel more congratulatory when it happens than than sympathetic. So, in most cases, I don't really have a paradox when I read them.

My favorite stories are also ones where the young hero is willing and anxious to be 'done'. Even better if there is some sort of ongoing banding or other 'play' ahead of time initiated by the hero or his friend(s), followed by the eventual 'climax' of the story/series. The TYE magazine article in the first installment of your 'At the Cabin' series is a really great example of the 'happy boy' sort of story. It's rare for the non-consensual storylines to do much for me, and definitely not the 'revenge' plots. Others like it and that's cool, but they're not for me.

Sometimes there's a middle-ground that I can get into, where the young hero is willing in what he does or allows to be done, but is subtly coerced. Author Justin Cumberland had both a short story, and a very long series that he wrote back in 2009/2010 along those lines which I've never forgotten. In "The Wringer", a young teen loses a race and (with the help of some coercion by his older cousins) allows his nuts to be crushed in an old wringer washer. In the epic 96-chapter "Playing Lukas Sorensen", the story involves mind control, and Lukas ends up losing everything. On the surface it's willingly, but as the story progresses, you see more of the mind control and coercion going on in the background. Neither story has main characters who are 'willing and anxious' to have it done, but the characters in both stories agree to it in the moment. Those stories I find myself revisiting many times, but I have to be in the right mood for them.

I think what I most like about your stories is that the decision is not black or white. The boy is somewhat conflicted about the choice before him or about the decision he made or was made for him.

I agree that seeing yourself in the story as one of the characters or at least one or more characters being like you in some way makes it more personal and meaningful for a reader. If all the characters are too different from yourself, it is a different experience.

I find the willing to be cut stories the most intriguing. But the unexplained such as Chad Addison s stories are fascinating to read and ponder. The really eager to be emasculated, like in Steve Aldea s stories are a fun read with grateful geldings in most of his men. The great variety of writer s feelings and motivations and the set ups to get the hero to being cut are what keep the stories addictive to read. The hot sex sure helps too. But many of the best stories don t have anyone having sex and they still make excellent and entertaining reading. The endless different cultural perspectives of writer s characters keeps stories new. Historical, future science fiction, current day, and fantasy settings give stories new life. A character s cultural perspective, criminal, cop, cowboy, businessman, trucker, sailor, fem, butch, young, old, str8, bi, gay, male, female, all change these stories endlessly !

So many ways to tell the same basic stories in new ways.

Some of the most versatile writers such as Zipper and Zoroaster always keep you guessing and surprised at their next stories.

Hm... I'm always hoping, the boy keep his balls finally. Discussed his castration, but somehow, he escaped. Therefore I like atreyu's novels.
