Castrated at young age, is it acceptable or too early to make a decision

[Paolo]

What I see, is that, generally men older than 35 are ready to take that life altering step. The older the easier the decision would be to make. Still many regret not being castrated earlier. Much earlier, including myself, despite I am not an eunuch yet.

When asked about when the interest about castration started, big part of respondents say that during puberty or as a young adult. And over the time that interest didn't fade, instead got more intense. Thats not a scientific approach, as it is difficult to get information from them, who lost that interest in castration soon after they got interested in it. They aren't with us.

As it is very odd and life altering, to get castrated, people want to be sure that they can't live without it. Only after a long time, seeing nothing get better, they decide finally to get castrated, and regret not getting it done earlier.

Now, getting castrated early in life, wouldn't allow to experience that life with endless desire to get castrated. Which sometimes seem quite agonizing. Also, there would be no beforehand knowledge or experience of downsides being castrated. So it might lead to thinking, that castration wasn't a right decision, and could lead to regretting becoming an eunuch, while endlessly delaying castration could be much worse. So you never know.

When I think back in my life, having the knowledge and experience I have now, I think I would have been happiest if I was castrated around 15-17. Very young indeed. But only if I had the knowledge and experience I have now. My life would have taken much different path. I would have been much different person. And much happier, knowing that I made a right decision at a right time.

The only way it could have happened at a right time is to have a right person beside me, helping me to understand what it really mean to become an eunuch. To help me to have a chemical trial period, to have some of my sperm frozen. Listen to my concerns, give me honest answers. And finally, if I am ready, help me to get it done safely. The other big problem is society... Probably I needed to invent some acceptably story, why I am an eunuch, in case someone asked or got to know that I am an eunuch. And after that just to embrace my new and happy eunuch life ahead. I had no such mentor in my life of course.

But that is not possible of course in our current society. I had to live years and years thinking that I am the only freak in the world wanting castration. And then endlessly hoping that desire would fade and I become a normal person. Which never happened of course. There is a counseling for transgender people, helping them to make right decision at a young age to minimize their suffering.

I understand that there are many reasons why castration desire exists, but it is very important for everyone to know the reason. As early as possible. Whether it is just another paraphilia to be castrated, to castrate, to have castrated partner or be castrated partner, or is it more related to self image, body dysphoria or gender dysphoria etc. Or mix of everything. That is important to know in order to make an informed decision that would lead to happy life.

So, what do you think, people?

Is it possible to make an informed decision about castration at early age?

If you were castrated at the right age, how you think your life looked like now?

Now, any thoughts on the originating subject of this thread?

And that was?

I think we were on topic discussing the only male genital mods currently done on lots of infants, boys, teens, and young men and how they feel about those mods years later and how they felt about their genital mods as boys. We can t discuss real world castrations of males at those ages since they rarely happen. Real

circumcisions and frenulum removals

are the closest real world genital surgeries we can talk about here in relation to young males and his post.

I absolutely agree with Begoneboy that cutting baby boys penises with zero painkillers for extended long circumcisions and frenulum removals that are far more prolonged and painful than any quick snip at birth. Such immense pain must be imprinted on our brains permanently as one of the most painful and intense physical experiences for all of us circumcised males after leaving the comfort and safety of the womb.

Imagine the pain a teen or grown man would feel from being forcibly tied down spread eagled, with no pain killers, his fully attached foreskin painfully pried loose from its natural adhesion and ripped from his sensative glans skin, then his foreskin painfully clamped, crushed, left in pain for minutes, and then cut off, and his nerve filled frenulum carved from deep in his penis skin and leaving a gaping hole that is painfully stitched up. Grown men and teens would be suffering intense pain. Now imagine a newborn infant, brand new to the world, with no understanding or reasoning going through the same torture as one of his very first experiences in all of his very short life and feelings in the world. His concept of the time as he struggles in intense pain is unknown. But a grown man being subjected to exactly the same surgeries with intense pain would find the amount of time necessary to complete these surgeries as a very long agony.

How would that violence and pain not imprint on his infant brain and affect all of his new pain sensing nerves in some significant and lasting way ? How would he feel and think about his genitals with this as his likely first significant nerve impulses from his sex organs and him with no understanding of how or why he is feeling such incredible and long lasting pain. Then add to this first pain the added pain of the healing time needed after his circumcision and that lengthy suffering in his genitals as his scalpel cuts and forcibly bared glans nerves and the cut roots of his highly nerved frenulum feel pain for weeks of healing. Time in pain that his sense of time cannot measure as its his whole newborn life and total existance has been spent in incredible and unrelenting genital pain !

While it is inhumane to circumcise non-consenting infants at all, I have to say this sounds dubious. I was circumcised at birth, although I still have 60-70% of my foreskin below the glans and presumably all of my frenulum. I certainly don't remember being in pain, so I have nothing to complain about there, and as for surgeries in adulthood... if I had a choice, I would've rather my orchiectomy been done without local, even if it meant twelve hours of excruciating pain and the surgeon repeatedly having to pause. Less drugs in my system, hooray!

Just as it is inhumane to perform surgeries on someone without their consent, it is inhumane to drug someone without their consent. I think you're getting distracted from the main point--the fact that circumcisions happen at all. Anesthetizing babies for circumcisions won't solve anything.

I also wonder if circumcisions even hurt that much compared to surgeries like orchiectomies. It doesn't hurt much to pinch the remainder of my foreskin, and presumably individuals with intact foreskins do all sorts of things with them. Cutting it with scissors doesn't sound that bad...

I m guessing the prying of the adhered foreskin from the sensative glans and surgically digging out the entire frenulum would be the most painful parts, as well as healing up from those.

I can t remember my infant surgeries, but watch any video of infant surgery of these procedures and those babies are expressing the maximum pain and terror they are able to at that age. No way that intense pain and for that length of time being cut and in pain didn t impact my infant brain in some way.

This might be one possible explanation for why some males have such an intense initial sexual response to human castration with no prior conditioning or experience to explain such a significant initial reaction to human castration in males of many different ages. It not like that with amputating other body parts off men s bodies. Castration and penis removals seem to be more responsive than cutting off a man s other body parts as a sexual turn on for many males. That does not seem random.

Young boys and men seem to display far more curiousity and sexual excitement from castration and penis removal than from chopping off other body parts. Making them far more likely to seek out and agree to castrations at a young age than other amputations. Why such a difference ? What causes this very different interest in reaction in young males ? Possibly past intense sensations in his genitals as he was circumcised ? Maybe that is the past conditioning that triggers such sexual responses and curiousity in those genital mods in young males ?

I too was circumcised right after birth and I have no memory or longing for my foreskin. But I do remember how lousy puberty was and how much I longed to be free of these unwanted man parts and how I wish that I was smooth down there. Almost 45 years later, the desire, need and wanting to be smooth has never gone away, in in fact it has gotten stronger. The only thing the is stopping me is getting the time needed for post-op recovery. It's the first item to be checked off on my retirement list.
