Survey Number 4

[attistoC (imported)]

This survey is designed to help us to understand interest in castration, eunuchs, and related subjects. There will be questions related to your experience in childhood, and also sexual history. Whatever your status—whether you are castrated or not—if you read the Eunuch Archive we hope you will take the survey. What we learn here should help health care providers better serve those who have an interest in castration. The full questionnaire takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. Regardless of your level of interest in castration, you are invited to take the survey; all responses are valuable.

The survey includes questions on childhood experiences, castration desire and sexual history. Those who completed our previous questionnaires may recognize some questions repeated here. This repetition is so we can compare the results from the older surveys with results from this newer survey. Some questions may seem irrelevant. Some may be quite uncomfortable. Many are part of questionnaires that have been used with other, quite different, populations to which our findings might be compared. Such comparisons will help to place eunuchs and the eunuch-interested into a larger context. The uncomfortable questions may help us to point out important differences with other populations to whom eunuchs are sometimes compared.

All data collected will be kept completely confidential. We do not ask for names or addresses or any other identifying information.

Please answer as honestly as you can. We hope that you will fill in all the questions, but you should feel free to skip any question that you feel uncomfortable answering. Please also note that “castration” in this questionnaire is defined as any procedure that removes or destroys the testicles themselves or causes them to no longer function. This is not the same as removal of foreskin (circumcision), removal of the penis, which is termed “penectomy” in the questionnaire or “nullification” which means that both testicles and penis have been removed.

Publications that are based on this survey will be announced on the Eunuch Archive and made available to any who request them from the authors. Publications from the earlier surveys (2005, 2008, and 2017) are available from the authors. You can request copies either through the Eunuch Archive or by writing directly to us.

Just finished the survey.

Went into no depth into those who are or want to be nullified. Went into no depth into those who use or abstain from hormone replacement. Went into no depth into current sexual activity.

I also did it.. Been a Eunuch for many many years. Caulk another one up.. I am another one that had it done by a cutter a long time ago and years later wonder if I did the right thing or not. Once it is done you can't go back.. So make sure you have made the right decision.

I got a fair way through it and something went wrong, and couldn't continue from where I was.

Don't know what happened

Way too long . I binned it off after about 15 mins

[jcat (imported)]

It is a long survey! I get why so many questions. The archive has been a monumental support to me over the years. Now days I check in from time to time. It is important to try and make genital choices more accessible. My journey to eunuch was painful and dangerous. I would not wish that on anyone. Therfore, anything we can do to help the cause is worth the effort for others.

Survey Number 4 is wisely written. Depending on the answers of the participants, additional branches are opened. Therefore, for different people, the duration of the survey varies.

For me, the survey did not last very long. I liked this "interview".

It seemed to me useful, as it helps to understand oneself.

I had no problem with the length/duration. Although quite comprehensive, it didn't capture all of the aspects of my own sexuality - but there were opportunities to mention/add these. I enjoyed doing it.
