I am wondering why men get castrated voluntarily if they still want testosterone

[ToTheQuick (imported)]

Many (a majority?) of the stories in the fiction archive are told from the standpoint of the person castrated. They are of the sort of “what (I want to have) happened to me”. They mostly include some sort of “forced” castration. The stories provide plausible deniability for a person desiring castration in that it happened to him unexpectedly or by force. This same general theme was found in Male-to-Female fiction before it became medically (and somewhat socially) accepted. I expect that the fiction themes will begin to change after the WPATH Standards of Care, v.8 is released and voluntary castration gradually becomes much more accepted.

Interesting thing I've noticed since my own castration:

Prior to the procedure, I loved the fiction archive and stories of either forced castration or "voluntary" castration as the result of a gamble (the much preferred option; double-points if it was some game of skill with strip elements.)

However, now that I've been castrated, I don't find the stories sexually exciting anymore. I'm on T so my libido is largely unchanged; it just doesn't "do it" for me anymore. I'm guessing my sexual excitement from the scenario stemmed almost entirely from the desire to be castrated.

Have any of you experienced a similar phenomenon?

One of the things I commented on to Jesus about the paper he wrote about the common themes in the stories is that if the 'involuntary forced' plot theme goes away, I don't know what will replace it...

It seems to me that something like "I wanted to get fixed, so I made an appointment at the clinic after jumping through the SOC8 hoops, showed up and they chopped my balls off" sort of lacks a lot in the way of melodrama...

WheelyCurious

There are a few stories on the Archive where a man's fantasy of being castrated has been discovered and the decision is taken out of his hands ("Busted" is a personal favorite). Oddly enough it keeps a lot of the same tensions because while it's desired, it's still not "voluntary."

Also, you'd be surprised by how erotic a voluntary-castration story can be, though I concede it should probably be done outside of a clinical context, or a highly fictionalized one ("Puppy gets snipped" I find very sexy, but the procedure described is not at all accurate.)

I've written a voluntary story using a procedure derived from the traditional Ottoman method that really gets me going, though obviously that's to personal taste. (I haven't submitted it because I'm shy.)

I hope that when voluntary castration becomes socially more acceptable, in the fiction archive will become more stories not only type "as I want it to happen to me", but also telling about the subsequent quite happy life of eunuchs of without any special negative connotations.

For some reason it seems to me that, for example, presence at space of astronauts eunuchs will be quite proved because of dangerous radiation...

I agree with opinion:

"

However, now that I've been castrated, I do not find the stories sexually exciting anymore.

"

However, there are other, deeper literary works in the archive that turn even asexuals like me on .

My motivations for castration were specifically to get on HRT. My testosterone levels were low, around 290 (270-980 was considered normal). At the age of 30 to have a level of 290 was still not low enough to get on HRT, so I became so frustrated I began research into ways to finish my nuts off. I pioneered alcohol injection method (was kicked off this board a few times for even talking about it back then). My nuts shriveled up, and with my medical record of low T, there wasn't much suspicion from the doctors, they snipped out the nuts and replaced them with prosthetics.

My reasons for being castrated were because

I love the look and feel of no balls,

no scrotum and the smooth down there look below a hard penis. Not to mention no possibility of impregnating someone. I was already on Androgel and had been for about 10 years and intended to continue because I have fun with my libido and penis. After researching here and finding out that no nuts along with Androgel would not affect my libido I was all on board. Voluntary castration stories turned me on before and still do, especially if the wife wants it as well. Being castrated was the most erotic thing I have ever done and just the thought that I am castrated will turn me on. My wife loves it as well, although when I first mentioned I wanted my balls off she thought I was crazy.

The archive mostly contains "quick fantasies", not necessarily in short text...

I lost a bit of interest, but I was also more interested, now and in the past, in stories written with well-developed characters. I will also select the 50 collection...

Since I have been modified for a long time... "quick fantasies" are too short to capture attention, but I'm still curious about the motivation (especially in voluntary cases).

Most of all I am interested in the further life of the heroes and adventures, their position in society and mutual relations.

I like long stories with charming characters who overcome difficulties and defeat bad people.

I am particularly attracted to science fiction literature, as well as historical themes.

And it's very good when stories have a happy ending .

Like me, but I like the psychologizing in the sci-fi genre. And those stories in which revenge is not the motive, but slow, purposeful persuasion... The achievement of voluntariness... Because my journey was like this, like that. (not sci-fi, not kidnapped by aliens me.

Totally agree with you.

The presence of aliens is not necessary at all (just a trick to display the problems of earthlings).

But it all depends on the desire of the author!
