looking for two old stories

[littleeunuch (imported)]

I'm looking for two old stories. Both are stories in the old (by that I meant back in the early 2000s when there was a page of all stories) archive. Both are straight, testicles stories.

Story 1: In a futuristic(?) world where boys are determined, by receiving a tattoo at the age of 8, whether they would live as breeders (can't remember what the tattoo was, possibly a bull?) or would be castrated (a honeybee) on their 14th birthday. Main character is just reaching 14 years old (had bee tattoo) and live with his parents and younger brother/brothers (can't remember whether there are more than one). "Mother" is the biological mother, "father" is a eunuch who didn't see any point in having a prosthetic balls mentioned in a pool scene. A younger brother just turning 8 and proudly displaying a bee tattoo during a family dinner didn't have any idea what that tattoo meant, just as our protagonist is upset on the eve of getting his snip.

Story 2: Our young man was on some sort of marine voyage and some accident occurred, washed ashore in an remote island where he ends up marrying the daughter of the chief of the local tribe/village. The island had a rite of passage from boy to man that involve running around/in the forest with a banded scrotum. The band can only to be removed when you finish the course. So the physically not-fit-enough male would be castrated. Our protagonist enjoys the show.

Hmm... the first story seems to be Raven's Last Day (by Erik) and Making of the Modern World (by Jesus). Still can't find the second.
