Hi from Texas

[Rafaella (imported)]

Congratulations on getting cut and welcome to the club. Unless you want kids (I believe you were already sterile) then you don't need balls and can have a great time without any. Once I'd adjusted to my castration I did perfectly well in life and have an active sex life that is not dependent on having testicles. I'd say it's a good idea to get your T replacement monitored to ensure you are getting the correct dose.

Thanks sparkey49 and Rafaella, it's really nice to get support from fellow eunuchs. It's day 3 now post castration and everything is OK. There no swelling in the empty scrotum just the expected bruising and just a bit of discomfort in the lower abdomen. I'm taking it slowly and not walking about very much. I find the most comfortable position is to sit with my legs elevated and apart. I should be up and running in a day or two. In the meantime I'm reading the forums.

Hey Aron. Thanks for your post. The ache in your abdomen will be where your cords were stretched to remove as much as they could. This will resolve itself quickly as the redundant tissue heals. My orchidectomy was done inguinally. It was many years later, after an MRI for a back injury that I was told that I sport 2 'hemi pelvic surgical clips'. These were used to clamp off the cords prior to cutting them. I was surprised that they were still there! Being stainless steel, they show up on xrays too. You think you know your own body and there is always something more to learn. Best regards, Bryce

Hi and thanks, compared to some of the guys here I don't have a of of scrotum as I only ever had small balls. Nevertheless I still want to get it all removed and 'go smooth' as I've read it referred to as here. I also have a rather small penis so I won't be packing much in my pants but I prefer to stay masculine and hope to get bigger with the new T replacement therapy.

Hoy Aron! Smooth is good. You cant go back anyway, lol. I like the look that there definatly nothing there. It also has the bonus of making your cock look bigger. No saggy balls to spoil the veiw. Your penis is a vascular organ. It inflates. The more practice it gets at doing this, the bigger you will be. Takes time man, you have plenty. No rush. B

5th day post castration now and no complaints. The stitches are itching like crazy and the nut bag is a purple-yellow color but no pain anywhere and the discomfort in the lower abdomen has mostly gone away, just an occasional pulling sensation which I'm guessing is from where the nut cords retracted to. Thanks to everybody on EA for being so helpful. I've got 3 friends looking out for me but it's been really therapeutic to post here and get replies from guys that have already been there. I think vanilla society assumes I've got to have been ruined and traumatized by castration at 21 but the thing is it's not like that at all. It probably sounds strange but actually I'm not all that worried about it and am looking forward to my new life. Sure I didn't want to lose my balls but the way I see it one chapter has ended and it's time to open chapter 2, Aron the eunuch. I don't see why being castrated should stop me doing things and I'm encouraged by some of the amazing lives and loves of the guys here on the forum.

Hope it all continues the best.

Life after is good, and I think much better than before losing the nuts and bag.

Also good to get a doc to guide the best HRT for you. Good to have levels monitored regularly, and have yourself checked over once a year, -or as the doc and insurance advises and allows.

Cheer up. Life is good!

Thanks sparkey49, glad to be one of a rare and special group. Looking forward to a slightly different but almost certainly a more interesting lifestyle.
