I hope you don't mind me joining your message board, as I'm only here out of curiosity and probably won't post much. I saw the person on This Morning talking about voluntary castration and he mentioned this message board so I couldn't help having a read. I don't want you to think I came on here to preach or tell people what to think, as it's nothing to do with me, but I'm a curious person who likes to find out about things.
I have to admit I'm ignorant and haven't read the whole board.
Maybe it's my own problem and you might mind me asking and it's not my intention to offend anybody, but people seem to have various reasons for undertaking castration. I can understand why somebody might want to undertake this procedure but the message board seems so varied, as it goes from people who genuinely have their own reasons because they feel they should be that way, to those who have cancer, but what I have a problem (and it's my problem, so not saying others should have one) are those people are on here because they like perverted fantasises of being castrated (maybe perverted is the wrong word, but can't think of another). Would somebody who has fantasies of being castrated, in the way of just the act and not actually living castrated, fall onto the dark side and be more suited to some sex web site with other similar things? I'm far from a prude and everybody has a sex life with things they prefer and if somebody prefers sex being castrated then it's a genuine thing, but in my mind I can't connect fantasises of the actual act of being castrated with genuine medical, physical or physiological discussions so it turns the problems people might genuinely have into looking like something else.
Just that when I saw the man talking on This Morning, he seemed to dislike his oncoming masculinity and said he now sees sex as more of a loving thing than how he did before he had high testosterone levels, so I don't understand how people like that could have much in common with somebody who just wants to come online to talk about fantasises of being mutilated for sexual pleasure, but not really want the procedure, just the thought of the actual act of castration to get off or want to talk about it. Another thing is, there was a man on here who says he just wants to be castrated to gain weight because he wants to be so fat that he has to be an adult baby and not even wipe his backside. Why would anybody with genuine reasons for castration want people like that on the message board, as somebody like me who looks for the first time out of curiosity might think you're all like that and the whole reason for the site is just for things like that. Then again, maybe it's nothing to do with me and I shouldn't poke my nose in.
You sound just like my wife, except she has never read any of the posts here, but she thinks we're all crazy. I had my reasons for castration too. They were the same as some, different than most. I live in America and I was fortunate enough to be sent a copy of the BBC Documentry by one of your countrymen. By seeing Roger, you saw one of the best people in the documentry. He is a very courageous young man. I thought the documentry touched too much on as you say, "the dark side" and not enough on the more valid reasons for castration. Maybe in so doing, they showed how desperate guys can become to finding relief from there problems. It's pretty sad that Roger had to leave his own country and travel 3000 miles to get help. We thought our medical system was bad. It's difficult to get a doctor to do the procedure here, but not impossible. The problem most guys have, I think, is that, the doctors that are willing to do the surgery, are few and far between. When you do find one that is willing the costs are usually rather high, especially for the good ones. The ones that actually care want you to see at least one therapist. Mine require three. Some of that is out of concern for the patient, but also because the doctor doesn't want to get sued. My total cost was around $8,000. Many guys are driven to the dark side because they can't afford anything else, so they take that chance or try to do it themselves. DIY is not usually good. Many have died trying or left themselves mamed. I just hope the documentry brings favorable light to the subject, so people can get the help they need without being made out to be a kook. Thanks for your interest, it was a good thread starter.
