Perfectly normal sweetie. A high sex drive can be a royal pain! If you want horomones, I am under the impression erections will still be achievable... so she wont be losing ALL sex. Also, make sure she knows you do NOT want to change your sex. That will be a big worry of hers. You're perfectly fine, not insane whatsoever. You see a problem, and you desire to take a path to rectify the issue. Sounds pretty competant to me.
~hug~
keep us updated! We want to know how things go!!! Welcome to the site as well!!! You're certainly among friends here. If it makes you feel any better, I hate my balls too! *wink*

Re: Why do I have these thoughts/
I am in that same sex addict phase and had never thought of seeing a counsellor/psychiatrist. I've only just really admitted to myself that it is an adiction, and as a christian it leaves me feeling angry with myself that I don't have the will power to control myself. I waste so much time on porn, and my values don't line up with my life. Yet like someone else said, I like being masculine, just not with this libido controlling my life.
Its good to know I'm not alone in this.
Thanks for helping me begin to see a way out of this.

Re: Why do I have these thoughts/
As a former Christian myself, I can understand where you're comming from. But you are a guy, and it is only natural to desire these things. It's not something to be ashamed of!
If you have difficulty with the strength of your libido, thats something else altogether. Religion should have nothing to do with it.
Because, if you follow this thought to it's logical conclusion you end up re-creating the Russian Skoptzy sect, where childrens penis' and testicles were regularly removed, to keep them pure and for God.
Truely monsterous. And, if indeed there is a loving God looking down upon us, I'm sure she'd be dismayed at the sheer mutilation of his otherwise beautiful creation.

Sorry, I had to append this, because I meant no disrespect to Christianity. What I suppose I'm trying to say, is that if you desire castration to cure an overactive libido that's a perfectly valid reason.
Just so long as you're castrated of your own free will, not because your wife/girlfriend wants you to, or because a dominatrix insists on it, or because religion compells you to. Religion is a wonderful thing, and is designed to bring people peace, happiness and live honest lives, but being castrated for these reasons can lead to a lot of misery and suffering.
But if it's of your own free will, than thats something else.
So long as you're happy, and do it through free choice.

Re: Why do I have these thoughts/
The thing is, although to begin with castration seemed the perfect solution, the more I research it the more I realise that I like being masculine and hairy and strong. I just can't stand my high libido, if I could have a normal libido I'd be a very happy guy, but currently I find myself disappointed that i can't live by my own principles, and I shouldn't have to change my principles to suit my body.

ParrotMan,
Then let me serve as a poster child for what can happen if one struggles with an addiction too long. My libido morphed into genital hatred. When libido was on the rise, it manifested itself as genital hatred, not a desire for sex. I have completely disassociated from Mr. Penis and would like the ugly thing to go away. (NOTE: I was a fairly normal guy before. I fondly referred to my equipment as 'Little Bryan'. TG issues were pretty well buried.) Once you reach genital hatred, castration is a logical way out. Much safer, too, than the other things I was doing to the genitals at the time.
I suppose that's how I knew I was ready for castration.
Take a look at the Chemical Castration forum here at EA. Maybe you'll find some ideas there.
Hoping and praying you find a solution,
bryan

Re: Why do I have these thoughts/
I must agree with you Bryan; and the fact that Parrotman has found himself here suggests you have seriously considered castration as an option.
My first thoughts (but I'm no expert!) are to try - at most - 50mg Androcur, but preferably 25mg per day (but this would mean taking half-a-tablet a day, since most come in 50mg active ingredient).
Unfortunately the feminizing effects are not avoidable, but can be minimized by keeping the dosage low (I suspect very little change will happen immediately, body changes like that tend to take months, rather than weeks!).
This will certainly help, but much of it is in the mind also. Counselling for sex addiction will defiinitely help. Often they will suggest techniques for adjusting behaviour patterns.
---
And - on the topic - If I may just share a personal anecdote here. (It's very personal, so I apologise if it's a little graphic). Even as a eunuch, sometimes I see things, or think things that may be considered arousing.
I remain active, at most once a day, to ensure I remain healthy and able. But when it happens again in the same day, or I want to try and avoid any further thoughts, (sometimes it can be upsetting!) there is something that helps... (Okay, I'm British, so it may vary depending on culture). And it will sound weird!
I make a cup of tea (which diverts my immediate attention for a few minutes), then I hit the internet chatrooms. My personal favourite is the Transgendered ones, simply because (like people here) they can be a lovely bunch of people! The talking and human interaction quickly takes my mind off it! But of course, my condition helps me overlook also.
And the cup of tea sweatens the deal!
Hehe, okay, maybe I'm more eccentric than I thought!

Re: Why do I have these thoughts/
Can any of our experts here at EA suggest a drug regimen for our friend ParrotmanFriend, I'm sure you mean well, but I cannot persuade myself that self-medication will benefit Parrotman, even with the help "of our experts here at EA". Drugs, and their interactions, and their different effects on different personalities, are much too complex a matter to leave to on-line communication with persons of unknown qualifications. Parrotman needs the services of a competent physician or psychiatrist who is licensed to prescribe and is local to him. No one else can make appropriate choices of drugs and dosages consistent with his medical history and monitor his responses to them.
