Chemical castration after effects?

[Freemefromit (imported)]

Hi, I'm interested if there's anyone out there who has done a three month trial with androcur who then stopped, permanently or for a short while. I wish to know if there were any permanent effects or whether the body went back to its pre trial state afterwards?

There are several threads of people sharing their experience. Some report no permanent changes. At least one reported to become eunuch after brief period being back to normal. So, it is not risk free, but generally, lets say 80% cases there, there is no permanent changes. Penis and testicular athrophy reverses over a longer period. Like 6-12 months. Please notice, it is not a scientific or medical data. It is my personal opinion.

I have done androcur twice. Stopped the first time because of problems with shortness of breath. I loved all the other physical and emotional effects it had. I was on it for about 2 months but stopped in July as I was going hiking in the Rockies, and at the time I was short of breath just walking at Sea level. I went back on it in September. During July and August I kept what you would call the eunuch calm. I had no sexual interest and produced only a very small volume of clear ejaculate, the few times I masterbated ( out of curiosity more than sexual desire). I could not get hard erections, and getting even a soft erection was hard work. My T went back to normal levels after dropping to less than 20. I went back on androcur in September. 2 days of 100 mg then down to 25 mg a day. The effects felt almost immediate. After a couple of weeks my T was back down well below 20. I was unable to get hard at all. The shortness of breath wasn't as bad, but still there, and the hot flashes were about the same, but the night sweats were not as bad as the first time, but cooler time of year. I decided to take a break on December 27th and havn't been back on it since. The negative side effects stopped almost immediately both times, but the emotional effects seem to be more permanent. That sounds strange, but I feel a very different person now than before I was castrated. I like this person more. As for sexual function, I have been able to get an hard, lasting erection for about 2weeks now. Still low volume of ejaculate, but I also had a vasectomy early last year. During the time I was unable to get hard, it definitely felt as though my penis had shrunk, but a couple of weeks of erections ( I have one now, just caused be writing this!) I think it's back to original size. During October I was so enjoying the positive effects of castration, I made an appointment to be surgically castrated this month. However, life is a funny journey, some things changed, and I cancelled it.

So, after all that rambling, I feel I have some permanent emotional changes. I don't know what the physical changes have really been, and if some of them are permanent or not. Butterfly effect. As I was told many times on here before I started, YMMV. your journey will be unique, but be prepared to accept some things might well be changed for ever.

I was on Androcur for three months last spring, then went off for a month because of breathing problems that turned out to be unrelated to Androcur. By the end of the month my libido had returned, along with a much less peaceful state and I hated it. It seemed that the drug was pretty much completely reversible for me.

I went back on Androcur and did a CaCl2 injection later, adding Estradiol. I never want to be driven by T again. It is strange how our thoughts change. I had no idea when I started my experiment with Androcur that I would end up destroying my testicles and allowing and encouraging feminine body changes to happen. I don't think I'm headed for Transgender surgery, but who knows.

That's handy to know, were you trying stop an unwanted libido or were you thinking of transitioning? I like you lost your libido on it, did it come roaring back quickly or were you able to notice a slow return? Also did you lose any body hair (I'd be pretty pleased about that) . Sounds like the shrinkage was from lack of use so I guess that would reverse once you started masturbation again? Was that different? I wasn't expecting emotional changes at all but I guess it must make sense.

Notsomanly, were you not planning on full physical castration when you started? It's interesting if you weren't that your thought processes have changed so much that you are willing to now and also that you want female type changes as well. I currently would not want to feminise other than lose body hair. If I start to change and desire that it would be a fundamental alteration in my mind.

No, I had, have no interest in transitioning, will present as a male always. No it did not come roaring back, it came back slowly. My body hair, I am not very hairy to start with, became definitely thinner and finer, and I only had to shave my facial hair once every 2or 3 days. It is so hard to explain the huge mental and emotional changes. Until you have done it it won't make sense that they are more profound and important than the physical changes that caused you to do this in the first place, at least that's how it turned out for me. I had a deep depression near the start on both occasions, be careful! something to realize and ask why, is that why so many people are on here posting a lot and asking questions about lots of physical changes they want to experience, but as they become castrated they post less. Many of the things that are intriguing to you now about castration become irrelevant. Once castrated ( I can only imagine what the experience of being surgically castrated might be!) you will have a very different perspective and relationship with it. It was truly life changing for me mentally, and I am sure those changes are permanent.

I was intrigued by physical castration, but needed to try chemical first. Some years ago, however, I first became aware that I hated my body hair and spent a lot of time and effort removing it. I liked the smooth feel, so perhaps that was the first indication that I wanted a more feminine body. I started Androcur to find out how my mind would work without testosterone and with greatly reduced or eliminated libido. I loved the result and the bonus was near total loss of body hair. I liked how it felt to be free of libido, body hair and the mental fog I had with normal testosterone so much that I realized that I never wanted to be dominated by that nasty hormone. At first, I accepted that more feminization was going to happen and was surprised that I loved developing female breasts. So if I wasn't going back on T, the alternative was E and a further feminized body. I've never been happier. I don't know where it will lead from here but have decided to just let the changes happen. That includes changes that I like so far in how my mind works.

You've certainly given me food for thought notsomanly, my goal is to lose or reduce my libido as my wife has lost hers and her physical ability to have sex to cancer, so my libido not just makes me fed up and frustrated. I need to consider if the risk that I might as you describe start to think totally differently which others here have mentioned as well. I don't think the relations with the wife would be helped if there were suddenly two girls in the house! Lol (or maybe they would who knows??) .

You don't have to feminiz. You can take other tablets that will stop or minimize the gynocamastia. I certainly didn't feel female, and many eunuchs on here don't either.
