Castration Effects Survey

[bobbie (imported)]

I am trying to come up with one location that will list all the possible effects and side effects of castration. Many have posted their own experiences with castration in this site. I want to take that one step further and list all possible effects so a person thinking about castration can look at and see if he is willing to accept that possible life after castration. I would like a short line description of an effect in order to create a master list of all inputs.

Later I would like to take the created list and do a survey to see now how common the effects are among the castrated.

Here is a list of some of the effect I have heard of. I am sure I am leaving many out and need help putting them in here. I just put them in alphabetical order for now. Not ranked in effects or importance.

once your poll questions are assembled, could you possibly add one simple question? That being........... For those who have been castrated, are you happy or unhappy with the results? (and would they do it again? And if so, did they wish they would have done it sooner, or waited longer?) Stuff like that. And sorry, that's more than one question.

Certainly there's no obligation, but I'm curious about the percentage of those who are satisfied and those who regret it. Yet, and even as peculiar as this may seem, I'm guessing that for those who may regret it, they would easily make the same decision all over again.

I look forward to seeing the results of your survey.

Oh, and one more thing if I may. I'm curious as to how this message board and the people here may have influenced their decisions, if even at all. The reason I ask, is because I'm personally becoming more and more content and at ease with the possibility of being castrated myself. I honestly don't know that I could live my entire life with this constant driving libido that actually causes anxiety and stomach aches. The more I hang out here, the more I can't believe excessive testosterone levels aren't more readily evalutated and treated.

Anyway, thanks.

These questions have been asked, along with quite a few others in the EA survey done last year. The data from the survey has been tabulated by Richard and Jesus, and essentially the material is in press, a process which can sometimes take up to a couple of years with all the reviews, etc. Unfortunately, the rules regarding publication of such data in professional publications generally precludes release of significant content prior to publication. I would suggest looking for the survey's raw data in past posts by Jesus - It is basic data without analysis. Once the various papers that have been written are published, all of the data will be provided on the forums.

Bobbie, you might want to consider taking the content of our FAQ, and work with that, adding to it. Revisions, additions, and general educational information would certainly be welcome. The way the original FAQ was written was a rather wide ranging discussion on the boards, facilitated by Andrew, who wrote most of the final product with input from many others. It was a good approach then, perhaps now as well. It would just need someone such as yourself who could ride the steer while everyone else prodded it along with their input.

I assume you are only talking about people who choose not to be on HRT?

I was castrated for reasons other then wanting to lower my testosterone, I am on HRT and have a completly different set of effects.

I do T-Cyp injections weekly. 100-200mg/week

ACME if I boost my level too high

ED if I don't manage estrogen correctly

No more testicle pain.

On T and Zinc no change in cum. (just can't get my partner preg)

Social effects: when I tell people what I did they are initially shocked.

have scared off more then one trick. But those that stay around and listen to my reasons are usually understanding.

Some of the other questions (covered in the survey which I took prior to actually having the procedure).

I am happy with my choice to be a neutered male.

if I could go back in time would I do it again. yes

would i change anything: yes. I had very large implants put in and probally should have listened to my partner that they are too large. 3.5" each. Will probally downsize to a more reasonable 2.2" this year.

The timing was right. My head was in a good place. I did my homework, talked to my Dr's and a Shrink first.

Here are a couple follow up videos. Sunday was my 1 yr mark

Me showing my scars and giving myself a T shot.

Wow thanks for sharing.. the video....

Reduction in the risk of developing testicular cancer.

General reduction in skeleton muscular structural integrity

What does that mean?

If I take a guess, I'd guess... you mean a reduction in muscle mass between the bones of the rib cage and the muscles that help hold the skeleton in place, such as your shoulder, shoulder blades, and neck? Thus, causing your body to become more willowey, thinner, and mushier (i.e. similar to feminizing)?
