In discussions about sex we both feel our sex drives are high compared to others our age and how often we've heard women and men complain of their partner's sex drive - being higher or lower. She said that recently she dated two men and after a few dates each of them thought it appropriate to mention that because of prostate cancer treatments that sex isn't possible nor do they really have an interest. She admitted that it was actually a relief to know that their interest was simply someone to have fun with. She said it was easier to relax around them - admitting that the absence of sexual tension could be the explanation. If the relationship was to continue she'd either look for a friend just for sex or just take care of it herself. I had mentioned that quite a few of my friends are eunuchs for the same reason. No complaints from them about sex and their wives seem quite happy. I had mentioned to her that I talked to my doctor about a medication to ease my sex drive (wife's interest has declined). Next time I see her I'll have to ask about her thoughts on voluntary castration and if she would be more willing to date a guy who was chemically or surgically castrated.
That s great that the men you know are so open, honest, and unembarassed about being eunuchs. As more men live longer lives, more men will finish life as eunuchs than in past generations. It will start to be older men s puberty in reverse and get more common.
A few eunuchs don t mind showering and locker rooms and proudly display their steered sacks or no sacks to all of the younger males to get them accustomed to seeing geldings and accepting castration as a normal stage in male lifespans. That s great for all males. The younger males appreciate having balls more and get conditioned for when its their time to get castrated. And most importantly, the castrated men of all ages can feel more comfortable naked in front of other males.
Its great that women do appreciate eunuchs as good, non sexual friends and enjoy their companionship.
