Sexual desire controllability after orchi

[SmartestKen (imported)]

For those of you after orchiectomy and are on estradiol (and ideally no other medication), 1. What is your estradiol level (or dosage)?

2. How controllable is your sexual desire? i.e. To what extent can you control your behavior when experiencing sexual desire (if at all)?

After orchiectomy I sometimes accepted testosterone in small dosages, only for strengthening of bones and joints. Actually I am asexualy, but always tried to maintain image of the man. For my part in youth parties no problems existed.

So the only hormone you take is (occasional) testosterone? And I guess by no problem existed, you mean sexual or related thoughts never pop up into your mind?

I accepted testosterone independently (but, me it was prescribed by the doctor). Concerning sex I never showed an initiative. With the best half of mankind I did not aspire to life (though offers, of course, were repeatedly). Contacts of the introduction in official marriage with representatives other half of mankind at us are absolutely excluded.

After my castration, I have been on Estradiol, first starting at 1 mg 3x day, now at 1 mg 2x day. My sexual desire has gone down 95% of what it used to be. It is very controllable and not controlling me any more.

Hey @SmartestKen,

Your question is one that is pervasive in this community and yet not often asked in the way you did. There are so many reasons that a per AMB would want to become MtE.

The desire to eliminate or control sexual desires is a very legitimate reason. Often, a person AMB simply doesn't want to be bothered with sexual desires. Some religions see becoming a eunuch as a way to devote one's life to pure religious thought. Others might want to eliminate sexual desires that could get them in trouble with the law.

Irrespective of the reason a person AMB wants to control their sexual desires, it is an important part of wanting castration. It is often the case the chemical castration is easier to obtain than is physical castration.

Further, it is frequently recommended that chemical castration be given a trial before physical castration. Chemical castration has been given a reputation that is not deserved - one that implies the only reason for it is punishment. In fact, it can be a good start to finding out if physical castration will provide the control you are looking for.

From my experience going from no hormone therapy to estradiol caused a slight increase in my libido. However, although diminished I never completely lost my sex drive after my orchiectomy. Having a gorgeous and sexual wife had a major influence on me and as you will read on this forum and elsewhere castration (without TRT) has a varying effect on men’s sex drive from completely eliminating it to not overly affecting it.

I use a transdermal patch that delivers about 0.5mg per day. You require much less when castrated than intact MTF trans folks need and get a lot more through the transdermal route than orally. I recently added micronized progesterone and that too has increased my drive on top of making things more sensitive, especially my nipples.

After my orchiectomy my sexual desire went into high gear. I could not get enough.

My sexual desire slowly tapered of until about six after my orchiectomy . I did not notice that I had no sexual desire and my erections had stopped. About three months after my orchiectomy my urologist said that my testosterone levels were unmeasurable. He told me that since I had been taking testosterone my adrenal glands also stopped making testosterone .

He said without any testosterone that I would have no sexual desire. I found that I did not even touch my penis but to urinate.

Keep in mind that without a sex hormone in your body, you are at much higher risk for osteoporosis, which can be very serious.

My urologist put me on low dose estrogen 0.5 day, to prevent my bones and increase my strength.
