Psychological emasculation

[Rafaella (imported)]

Did any of the guys here notice any psychological changes as a result of their castrations; for example becoming more compliant with their partners or even submissive with their wives and girlfriends. Also did anyone feel that they had been mentally emasculated as well as physically unmanned. For me in the first few months after I'd been nutted I felt like a guy with no balls but still a regular guy. Now after 10 months I identify as a eunuch prtending to be male. As a castrato now I can't be male again and with the help of my partner am beginning to accept that. Since I am not a eunuch by choice it has taken a lot of adjusting to. I'd be interested to hear fom other guys in the same boat.

Interesting subject, I can say that in my experience physical neutering seems to lead to a form of mental emasculation as well. In case of my husband, when he still had balls he was rather domineering especially with regard to sex. He was always putting his hand up my skirt and expecting sex pretty well on demand and it had to be in the postion and in the way he wanted. Since he became a eunuch he has become a considerate lover and attentive to what is physically satisfying for me rather then the previous bend over for a quickie and then not interested. Without testicles it takes him a lot longer to reach orgasm which is better for me. I wouldn't say that he has become completely submissive, not yet anyway.. but certainly more compliant sexually and very accommodating to me in the bedroom. The most unexpected change is that he has become a lot more sexually adventurous and prepared to try new ideas since he was cut. I would say the psychological changes became noticeable after about 3 months.

I have always felt and self identified internally as femme, feeling inadequate as a male especially in the bedroom, and choosing to be submissive to a partner, and I can say following my castration the fear and need to perform as a male has vanished, and I much more appreciate and embrace my being feminine without reservation. So I believe my internal identification as femme has been psychologically been reinforced and enhanced, and leading to more ease and enjoyment and fulfillment in the physical realm.

The interesting part is whether this evolution will result into attraction and appreciation by another person of me being a eunuch and femme for a relationship. I am hopeful.

I would say it would depend on your psychological makeup to begin with. For a straight guy castrated in his prime as you were I would expect to be the most difficult to come to terms with. I was androgyne since about 15 or 16 and already feminized to some extent, nevertheless when I had an involuntary castration I was mentally castrated as well as physically unmanned. I quickly became impotent, lost interest in sex and although perfectly aware of the physical changes happening to my body did nothing about it for over a year. Two consequences of this were that I lost all my body hair and the ability to ejaculate in the future. I didn't lose energy or drive particularly but I got passive about initiating contact with other people. Even after I started on replacement T I stayed the same. I would dress up in my finest and then wait for someone to make a move. I wasn't sure what to expect but I found that certain women and certain tgirls find feminized eunuchs very desirable. I found the psychological aspects of castration very complex and quite difficult to explain. I'll think about it and respond some more later. Justine x

I fit about perfectly with sieglinde’s husband my wife very much likes how attentive I am to her now compared to before and I am content to explore and make out for hours now whether or not I climax. A lot of it may be I went 2.5 years no T before doing any T and a lot of the sexual no T effects have remained but I physically feel much better. I enjoy sexual activity prolonged so much now If I feel like We have not had a extensive time and am too aroused I will let my wife know so we can alter what we are doing to prolong it I am totally unsatisfied if she doesn’t climax and I do I feel like a failure but can be totally content if she does and I don’t. There has been a major mental change also in my passiveness in other ways also as I don’t have to have my way near as much as before an can just go with the flow in most aspects of life.

Since I am not a eunuch by choice

There are many things that make a male:

1. Testosterone (which might be impossible for a prostate cancer survivor).

2. How he presents himself to the world.

3. Sperm to father children.

4. Providing for and loving his family.

A male who has been castrated for medical reasons (normally prostate cancer, testicular cancer or an injury) either can or cannot go on HRT.

I've not been castrated (and have no desire to be castrated), but did struggle for a short period of time in my younger days with being both gay and a man. I can to the conclusion that not only was it possible but, that I could be a man and a good man.

If you can't go on HRT, then the change in hormones will change the way your brain thinks. Hormones literally change the processes in the brain.

That at first you still felt like a man would be normal. As the effects of no T in the body continue, the brain would begin to change the way it perceives both the world and its place in the world.

In contrast a man who has testicular cancer will normally store sperm (if he's even remotely going to want to have children in the future). Testicular almost always affects only one testicle. Therefore, HRT isn't normally required. Sometimes testicular cancer will strike again in the other testicle - leaving the man a defacto eunuch. But, with HRT and the stored sperm there is nothing he wouldn't be able to do that a man with two functioning testicles could do. His fertility, libido and thoughts would all remain male.

You are you, and you decide your personality. Even after my castration, I have noticed that I have been continuing to grow more stubborn with age. If anything, I've actually become a bit more prone to anger for the first time in my life. But such changes are easily recognized and reversed.

That said, I may be more resilient than most. One example: the only liquid I have ingested all year is plain water. To me, that is irrelevant and perfectly normal.

I never set out to become a Eunuch, nor did I have the slightest notion that some men actually desired voluntary castration. It was only after my left testicle completely atrophied and my right one was declared short of life due to diminished blood flow, that the decision was made for elective orchiectomy surgery. Originally it was to be unilateral but I later chose to have both removed at the same time, knowing it was only a matter of time before the right one would have to go. It was not a quick decision and I had studied diligently on the matter before committing. By the time I did decide I felt as though I was at peace with my choice.

The morning after my surgery I was standing in line at a fast food joint waiting for my breakfast when it hit me. I was now and forever, irreversibly, a Eunuch, a castrato, a gelding, a man without his testicles and maybe no longer even a man.

Beneath the bandages I could feel their absence, no less than had I been standing there after having a leg just amputated. I wondered foolishly, self-consciously, if the other customers had the slightest clue I had just been castrated.

I truly expected then that I was going to have to face the fact that I was a different person now and that pre-surgery “peace with my choice” came into question. Yet psychologically and emotionally I did have a choice. I could succumb to self-induced negativity or simply be happy to be a Eunuch, whatever the future may hold. I chose the latter.

Fast-forward a year and then a new epiphany struck me. Nothing had significantly changed in my life and what little had turned out to be positive. Sex was different, but in a way more enjoyable. My hairline stopped receding. I was generally feeling less stressed by the daily petty aggravations of life. I sat more comfortably and my jeans seemed to fit so much better.

But I was still just the same ‘ol me, only now with just a medical label of “Eunuch” and nothing more – or nothing less.

You put it very well seanthomas, when I walked out of the clinic I felt the same. It dawned on me that what had been done to me was permanent, I was now and for good a eunuch, a castrato, a gelding or some other name but not a man. I espected to be pitied by real males and be a laughing stock to women. Later I had the fortune to meet the right woman, someone older, more experienced and somone who likes and is turned on by castrated men. Psychologically I don't feel male now, I feel like what I am, a eunuch but am a lot more accepting of it now. That said I want to keep as much of my masculinity as I can.

Did any of the guys here notice any psychological changes as a result of their castrations; for example becoming more compliant with their partners or even submissive with their wives...

Also did anyone feel that they had been mentally emasculated as well as physically unmanned.

My answer to both is yes. But let me put that in perspective.

First of all, both my wife and I are bi/polyamorous. While I won't go into detail, let me just say I find myself, I won't say more submissive, but maybe more passive or pliant to my wife's boyfriends/girlfriends.

Second, I have never considered myself as male...more female or maybe non-binary. Even as a child, age 7-8, I would push my one visible testicle up inside so it didn't appear I had any and I liked the look. I would say where I actually felt the mental emasculation was the first time I was with a man after I was castrated. At the start when I felt his testicles against me and realized he had them, I didn't...when I realized he was hard, buried in me and I was totally limp, that was the dizzying moment I felt truly mentally emasculated.
